Anyone else having the text input boxes being incredibly small? They're apparently still working but you can't read what you are typing.

You can change the size of the text fields in My Home. Click on Edit next to Display Preferences.

How many of us are using FireFox with multiple tabs open to threads?

That wouldn't make much difference, really, since only one tab at a time would be active... Unless you do something silly like have it auto-refresh each tab every 10 seconds hoping for new Posts. The main page would be more practical for such a thing anyways...

Well I stopped using the "refresh all tabs" option when I realized that I had a dozen tags open to the same forum. Of course apache can handle me doing that. But I realized that I was being a system-load all by myself. If many people did it then they would probably end up lining up and waiting their turns.

Its like using XNews for newsgroup reading. Works like a charm if you are using multiple servers at once but if you have multiple windows open to the same server it can be felt.

My vote is on the CA broadband shortage problems. They must be having rolling broadband black outs or something. Now watch all of our broadband ISP companies tell us we must reduce our broadband usage by 20% so they can help those poor saps in CA.

(OR what ever state Shrapnel Games is located in.)

Re: Slow Forums

I was having seemingly random stoppages...then all of a sudden, magically almost, it'll start back up again. Then it'll stop....you get the picture. It hasn't done it in quite a while though. I thought it was just my crappy dial-up connection.

Re: Slow Forums

I've noticed semi-random slowdowns myself, but I figured it was just imagemod traffic or something.

I usually only have two tabs of shrapnel open. One for the SE4 topic list, and the second wither in a topic or checking out a different area, like the SF forum.

Re: Slow Forums

Yes, I've noticed a 'markable' slowdown while browsing the forums. Often, when I click on a thread I get the "Waiting for www shrapnelcommunity com" message on the botton info bar. I'm using Mozilla and I don't multi-browse when here on the forums.

I even noticed that when I come to the forum login page, it often pauses while searching for the banners.

Anyway, it may be a traffic thing, or there might be a problem with the forum or shrapnelgames.com's htp server. I don't know but I hope things speed up soon.
