Sorry I'm going to bitch away.....


The speed
The color
No
I feel like Jessica Simpson in the final round of Jeopardy trying to use this place anymore too....

I'm glad RM is trying to improve itself... but change sucks....

*rant over*


There are some cool things now though too....

I don't know what happened to the stosh graphic. If someone posts it here I'll add it back.

Speed? Seems plenty fast to me. Anyone else?

page loads take forever for me, used to fly now its lagging big time

WTF you still have that Amobea avatar. WTF is up with that thing?

Sometimes it is normal and loads great and other times it slow.

Damn I had it... but I don't have the BMP or JPG of it.

not the most accurate way to time this but just refreshing this page took 7.91 seconds for me on broadband where it didnt use to take that long

I'll be looking into these issues. I think the problem is that the underlying code is a lot more complex (html and javascript), so it takes the browser longer to markup the page. I think the transfer times are the same. What computer are you using?

Takes a long time for me too. I used to think the servers were nice and fast before the changes (faster than mtbr. ) but now they're 2x slower than mtbr.

Well, look where you are!! You're in hippyland! Things just don't move fast up there! ink:

Signifigant drop. I pinged and got a better speed than any other site I visit but the pages (even on my fibre) are loading really slow compared to the old site and other sites.

The pages now lag the snot out of my browser on my slower (900mhz) desktop at home. It's better on my 2.0ghz laptop, but still noticably slower.

It's pretty good on my brand new 3ghz Compaq desktop at work, but again, still noticably slower than it used to be. The browser says the page is finished downloading, and it takes a couple seconds (or more at home) before it actually finishes processing and displays it.

 

[HippieKai]

speed is fine...the color is a bit bland though.
i don't mind any of the other changes at all

 

[mplutodh1]

Right now I am on my personal PC, its an XP Pro box with IE, I tested it with FireFox, and Mozilla also with the same results. When watching the status of the page the page loads then the ads load but from the "done" point to where it actually displays is where a considerable lag is

and Freak... haha at least I aint movin to neeh jowsy (damn I can't write it as well as it sounds in my head!)

 

[pixelninja]

NOTHING is as slow as mtbr. ink:. Pages here do tend to load a bit slower, but (for me) its really not that noticable.

 

[Ridemonkey]

OK, I have a temp solution to the speed problem, I'll try to get it implmented in the next 48 hours.

 

[Echo]

Constructive thread titles like this one would be near the top of my list

Isn't that the truth. It's like using a modem again. :mumble:

It seems like maybe a nano-second faster, barely perceptable.

What is everyone bitchin about? Don't you go on RM to WASTE time? Why does the page have to load ultra fast? Who cares?

 

[HippieKai]

crap i can't tell at all.
make it green again and i bet it speeds up

 

[Ridemonkey]

Well it seems a fair amount faster to me so I'd like to hear from those that are experiencing slow load times.

 

[Wumpus]

Quit your whining,

 

[TN]

scrolling from side to side is a bit of a drag.

 

[JRB]

I like it. Anyone that doesn't should go create www.asshatbitchywhinebags.com.

 

[Cooter Brown]

my only bitch is that once you post to a thread it takes you to a screen where you have to use a pull down menu to get back to the forum you were just in. Is that the way the new formats are supposed to be? Is there some setting I'm overlooking in order to return me to the forum I was in before I posted?

 

[wooglin]

Still no singlespeed board.

Seems to lag just a bit more than usual. Could just be my connection too... I have several propl connected to my T1 and I'm not sure how many of them are downloading porn or working right now

Here is a quick screen capture of me refreshing this page, 10 seconds long, about 8-9 seconds of which is it loading, take out a second or even two for me hitting the refresh button

Oh and running a bandwidth test I am getting 1.3 megabits per second

 

[Velocity Girl]

The pages on the new link do seem a bit quicker. I've noticed things were a bit slower too.

 

[Kornphlake]

I like the quick reply box at the bottom of the screen, now I don't have to wait for the reply screen to come up.

Did you try the link to the test board I posted above?

 

[mplutodh1]

Yup, I will be honest, I can't tell a difference. I can take a screen cap of that if youd like.
