website speed

Why is Sailnet so slow?
Slow to fill pages, lags when I type this.

Nothing on any other web pages are affected.

Just Sailnet.

Slow, slow, slow.

We're not sure, but we're asking Admin to look into it.

Apologies...

No problems in Firefox 3.5.

Safari is taking a real beating. The page layout is getting whacked and everything is slowing.

My hunch is that the new flash ads have some buggy ****** - and padding. Safari is notorious for not liking buggy AS.

FF is okay on my Macs, though.

Attention all you arm-chair techies! Check out the Firefox plug-in called "YSlow". You can download it here: Yahoo! YSlow for Firebug.

It'll help tell you what's taking so long. Then you can create a Topic called "Hey, Admins, you should use a CDN to serve your JavaScript".

Well, if some a you guys would pay up your back dues, they could afford to buy real computers and real data lines to plug them into.

Or, the problem might be the Island Forum Software that runs the board. "Ya mon, I gots a message here to post." "Okay, I come by post it a week next Tuesday."

And sometimes, that's just perfectly normal except for you pushy American city folks, thinking a week next Tuesday isn't good enough for you all.

Whatever it was or is I'm not noticing it at the moment.

Thats using Firefox.

I agree. It's slow. Painfully so.
