Wasn't this MUD upgrade supposed to increase speed ?

Ah ha. I bet I know why. IE has a nasty tendency to match the end of a multiline html comment using non-greedy regular expressions. This is a flaw. Yield build was turned off with multiline comments. See:
Code:
[b]<!-- Yieldbuild OFF[/b]

<!-- GOOGLE AdSense / Yieldbuild [color=red]-->[/color]
<center>
<!-- YB: nav (728x15) -->
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
yieldbuild_client = 779;
yieldbuild_layout = "thread___universal_zones";
yieldbuild_loc = "nav";
yieldbuild_options = {};
//--></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://yieldbuild.com/s_ad.js"></script>


</center>

[b][color=lime]-->[/color][/b]
IE should ignore everything up to the green --> tag, but instead it only seems to ignore to the red --> tag.

I'm going to make a mirror of the page and I need an IE user to click it and tell me if it's still slow.

:hhmm: You know what? I'm pretty sure I'm wrong. I think IE just doesn't handle the fact that yieldbuild is broken as gracefully. Non-greedy is logically the best pattern search. Woody probably just didn't realize what he was doing was wrong :flipoff2: EDIT2: nope. It's not standardized properly in IE.


removed the yieldbuild info completely from the templates....workin on other fixes as I can, but just finished 4 gruelingly long pathetic days at an autoshow and have to drive 1200 miles by Tuesday afternoon...

will squeeze fix time as i can....

:beer: No worries. That should fix most of the 'major' slowdown non-firefox users were feeling anyways. Besides, there is always more than one way to fix things on a computer :D
 
Maybe I'm reviving an old thread when I should be starting a new one?

Just recently (last update?) I have been having trouble getting pages to load here. Usually the first page, or maybe 2, come up ok then the loading progress bar stops at about 1/3 to 1/2 way... it never finishes (well maybe not NEVER... but I've given up before it gets there)

This is happening on a Mac, OSX 10.4.11, in Safari and Firefox... it seems to be worse in Safari. (both are latest versions) Quitting the app then relaunching seems to help it for a bit...

.js problem? Do I have an old/bad java thang goin' on?

Thoughts...? I did the usual, permissions, zap PRAM, toss com.apple.Safari.plist... what else...?

Mark

PS: another "clue" is that there is 1 1/2" of black empty space between the "User CP / Blogs... etc" bar and the "Forum / Last Post / Therads / Posts" header above the forum lists. Browsers other than Safari have ads in that space...
