OK. So I got hit by 3 slow page loads this morning... Ugh.
I did notice that on 2 of them (didn't catch the 3rd) that it is waiting on some web page subcomponent from dl.dropbox.com... It waits, and waits, and waits, and then switches to loading from dl.dropbox.com, and waits, and waits, and waits... after about 3 minutes, I stopped the pages, reloaded, and got it to go...
SO something is loading from DropBox.com... A shared photo or something maybe?

The social media buttons (+1, Facebook, and Twitter) are programmed to load separately after the main page has loaded, so they will not affect the main page load time at all.
Unfortunately there is not a way to turn them on and off. Well, these are definitely causing a big delay for me in Firefox (latest version, on Windows 7). I am trying Chrome now, and it is much faster. I wonder why Firefox takes so long to load the buttons? I probably have too many addons.

Yea. I am getting delays on google-analytics.com and gstatic.com which both are somehow loading when I visit. I will try getting rid of some addons...

It's really odd because google analytics loads in the footer, and nothing at all loads from dropbox. I'm almost wondering if it could be someone's avatar that is in Dropbox? Nick, any idea if there are certain pages on threads that load more slowly? There may be a database way of checking the avatar paths but I will have to wait until Tuesday to find that out unfortunately.

Good day everyone.
I've just completed another round of updates and tweaks to see if we can help out those of you with slow-forums issues out there.
Hopefully this latest round of changes will make everyone happy :-)
On a totally unrelated subject, for those of you who are interested, I recently found an interesting bug in Samsung TVs.
Any Series 6 or Series 8 TVs come with an ARC (Audio Return Channel) on HDMI2.
So I thought to myself : W00t !! Now my TV will relay audio based on the source I choose back into my Receiver !
Well, as it turns out, I was half right. The ARC will relay the audio from any source back to your receiver as long as your receiver is on HDMI2.... BUT IT WILL ONLY RELAY STEREO !!!
Why ? Well, as far as I can tell, it looks like the TV itself advertises its output as Stereo Only (since that's pretty much what's built-in to the damn thing).
Funny thing is that it does the same thing on Optical out.
Moral of the story, use your receiver as your HDMI switch instead.
Until my next appearance, I bid you all an excellent time.
MadBeggar.

The forum just got glacially slow for me about 5 minutes ago. I was trying to post a comment and I had to wait over 3 minutes for it to go through.
