Chimp / Monkey / Turbo Monkey titles restored!

iPad 2. New Posts. Mark Read link top left bar, from results page. Button does nothing. Used to work last week, iirc.

Works when I'm in a thread, then select all forums, then hit button.

Thanks, I'll do some testing.

Does the "Mark Forums Read" link that appears on the New Posts page, above the results, work?

 

[Toshi]

That's the broken link.

 

[Toshi]

It pops up its overlay but clicking on that button is what seems to be broken.

 

[Toshi]

Hmph. Worked just now. Go figure.

The GIF thread takes forever to load.

The GIF thread takes forever to load.

The GIF thread has always taken forever to load... going back to vBulletin. Unless you've got a pretty fast machine - and even then, it can struggle - loading 30+ animated GIFs is going to take a long time.

Is it particularly or measurably worse since the update?

Load times for the gifs are about the same, but while loading the page stalls/freezes are more noticeable, even on a SSD-only machine (at least on Chrome, haven't checked FF or IE).

Yeah I would agree with Syadisti that it's more of a stall, lock-up type situation vs. just long loading. I don't visit the thread too much because of this.

 

[johnbryanpeters]

Measurably slower since the update, agree with the stall/lockup observations above.

Animated gif thread and youtube thread crashing Firefox. Firefox 36.0.

 

[binary visions]

Is the crashing/bad stuttering reliable and repeatable for anyone? I might need some help testing a fix.

 

[Quo Fan]

For me, the crashing may not be ridemonkey. I'm experiencing crashing on other sites. I think there might be a problem with firefox, at least in my case.

 

[stosh]

I use chrome, I wouldn't say it crashes it but it does get jumpy.

 

[johnbryanpeters]

For the GIF topic, taking forever to load and inability to scroll/stutter in scrolling is consistent and repeatable.

 

[syadasti]

I haven't used firefox in a while, but the gif issue is only occurring for me in chrome. The gif thread loads normally in firefox. IE works fine too. Its like FF and IE load the layout but don't display the gifs until they are downloaded - chrome tries to load everything at once including the gifs so it crawls until everything is downloaded.

Broken again?

I haven't made any changes... I'll do some testing on the iPad at home.

 

[johnbryanpeters]

Browsing site using Vivaldi. Seems to work.

He was a very talented man. I had not considered using him as a web browser.

Scroll down so mini bar appears instead of full header. Edit post with popup editor. Save. Floating mini bar is now AWOL, including when visiting other threads.

Not happening for me... browser/OS?

 

[Toshi]

iPad, iOS 8, Safari. I agree that it doesn't happen on desktop.

 

[canadmos]

Any way to put that little octopus guy on the front page, in the mobile version?

WTF? Stosh shows up just to complain about shit being jumpy?

I have the same animated GIF thread problem with Chrome.

 

[binary visions]

From the testing I've done it looks like jumpiness in the animated GIF thread is mostly related to the size, length and quantity of GIFs on the page, and doesn't actually relate to the upgrades. It just happens that there were some particularly slow-loading GIFs posted in that thread around the time of the upgrade. I did a bunch of back-to-back comparisons against the old version of the site.

I can lazy-load images, basically not loading images until you scroll over them. I like the idea but can't implement it per-thread so it would affect the whole site. Gotta do some testing.

 

[CBJ]

For me it totally freezes the GIF thread. So much I can't just hit the back button or even just close the tap it really bogs down browser. I have 100/100 at the office and 25/10 at home and its slow both home and at the office.

Hmm, that doesn't sound like what I'm seeing in testing. Will try it from some other machines.

It's not a connection speed issue, it's just really challenging for the browser to be rendering that many animated GIF frames at once.

 

[syadasti]

It only happens to me in chrome no matter now good the computer is on a fiber connection - I don't recall ever having this problem until the upgrade. FF browser has never had an issue pre or post upgrade.

I'm guessing we were just both trying to clean up the same spammer. The post you're linking to doesn't exist anymore.

Jumpy. Doesn't fix itself on load. Ipad running safari.

the Utah ad in the DH forum is a bit overwhelming. anytime you press on anything in the page, a new page opens at the Utah site. I tried to search a thread, and anytime I clicked on an option... new page. Very annoying. Once would be fine... every single time you click on something? -----> I'll never go to Utah again.

That's, uh, definitely not functioning as designed. It should only ever open a new page if you actually click on the ad. Must be a bug in the ad template - I'll look into it.
