No its not, tell me what computer your using? please :)Yeah, this new feature is buggy and tedious.
Tedious for you, maybe... but how do you know is buggy? Did you look at the headers to see how the data is sent? Just enjoy the site and let us worry about the tech stuff. :)Yeah, this new feature is buggy and tedious.
Can't enjoy the site if the webpage is getting in the way of said enjoyment ;). Not trying to be a nit, I love thcfarmer and think you guys are doing a great job with everything, but realistically images are a big part of the experience and if they don't load 50% of the time that's a problem.
Using a Q6600 based PC with Vista Professional x64 and a brand new MacBook Air i5, so hardware def isn't the issue. Tried Chrome, Safari, Firefox and also Perfect Browser on my iPad. Have also tried on multiple networks all tested at 16+ MB/sec download speed.
Well something is wrong with your computer or your configuration then.
Because i have an old macbook and a very slow internet connection (my interent connection is 16x slower than yours jawnroot) and everything works perfect here :)
I believe it's a case of the way the pic system works. If it's sitting there downloading every single picture in a series then yeah, it might take some time. But with everything fast-paced/"instant on" with the internet having to sit there for 30-60 seconds and waiting for pictures is a pain. Maybe others disagree, but for me it's pretty tedious. I really think you should take a closer look at the way the picture system is implemented. New users coming to the sight will just assume it's broken and leave. The fact that there's a thread here about it indicates it's an issue, at least for some people.
Me too I want to enjoy a Ferrari and 3 girls dancing half naked every day, telling me how sexy I am. I guess we all have to accept what we have available on our plate. :DCan't enjoy the site if the webpage is getting in the way of said enjoyment ;).
Whoever complains about images loading slow is because they don't read the How-To written by us to help people understand how images work. The info is stuck at the top of every single page for newcomers and highlighted in red bold, you cannot miss it... but you have to do a little effort and read it.New users coming to the sight will just assume it's broken and leave. The fact that there's a thread here about it indicates it's an issue, at least for some people.
You obviously are the type of person who expects to get everything, without being capable to take some constructive criticism or adjust to other members opinion. That's not how things work in real life. Have a great day.If this is the admin's attitude I'll just mosey on to one of the competing sites. Later, farmers.
I have another question, haven't searched yet because this is the first time it happened to me (and I'm sorry, but I didn't save the thread and link, I should have! hopefully it'll be updated so I can try it again). I'm curious if this is an 'as designed' thing, or what, but this morning I clicked on a photo and it took me away from the thread itself, to just the photo. I didn't notice if it was a gallery-stored photo or an attachment (can't recall at this moment, this Northern Lights is that good). In other words, I was redirected, and had to alt+<-- to get back to the page I was viewing. I could swear that most of the time it opens up a new tab for me, or if I simply mouse over attachments then I get a darkening over the page and the photo or slide show appears, without ever redirecting me.
Is that making sense?
