Not sure what's causing it, but lately I can see the individual table rows appear on the recent threads page - like rendering a single line will take pretty long (Using firebird on winXP). It's not a real problem, I was just wondering... did you change anything lately? I didn't have the effect before today. -- |

That is most likely because the table columns all have fixed widths now, and the browser is more confident to display them as it reads them. |

matthew: do you use any kind of output buffering? I've found that makes pages load faster sometimes... Marcello |

Everything is buffered, because I use it to do some templating magic. (Which, I never ended up using like I planned on, so it's just a waste of CPU as it is...) But, the real buffering happens because I use the gzip compression handler to minimize page size. |

Actually, gzip handler doesn't necessarily mean the page will be buffered, if there are any flushes (dunno about implicit flushes), it will encode/compress everything it has and spit it out then, rather than waiting for everything and spitting it out after. This is what I've found, anyway... Though now I just use mod_deflate or whatever it is called on apache 2. Marcello |

Well, it basically goes like this:
(At this point the browser has received nothing.)
So basically, the content is all sent through the gzip handler with one final echo. Whether or not that's sent in xK sized chunks, I don't know. |

Matthew, not sure if you are aware of this, but when ever I now go to any forum page it's drawn twice. Once in a different font then normal with none of the outline boxs around each post, and then in the normal view. It looks like the first view is almost a text based view as I can see blue highlighted links for each post for a split second before it changes to the normal view. |

That can happen if your browser doesn't apply the CSS till its already downloaded and rendered the page (which I've seen... probably IE.) -- |

I'm using IE 6.0. But this didn't happen before, only now... |

Um... how do I get the forum to look like yesterday again? If you could upload that old css somewhere I could use it as my personal css file. -- |

That large blue text is still small and grey here.. |

It also seems like the left column (Name, Memeber, etc) Looks different than a) yesterday and b) the other text. -- |

Hit CTRL-F5. The CSS is now cached on a 24-hour period, so your browser doesn't even attempt to redownload it (10K) on every page view. Nothing has changed drastically from yesterday, in the terms of final appearence. As far as rendering goes, I've tested it on Opera, MSIE, and Firefox on my slow modem link, and it renders no differently for me than it did before the CSS tweaks... |

This one much nicer. Half without css, the other half with css (Note for the blue color: I was using my stylesheet). -- |

Hmmm. I guess now pages don't automatically reload when I go back and forward in my history anymore, eh? -- |

Quote: Hmmm. I guess now pages don't automatically reload when I go back and forward in my history anymore, eh? No, I finally found some cache settings that seem to work across the major browsers. When a link is clicked, a new page will be generated - but back/forward is now usable. That should be the expected functionality - it makes browsing on slow links a lot nicer... |

I've missed something. The "Posted On" text is.. too small for my likeing. It's not as shown in the last attachement by Thomas. I liked it the older way. Is the older CSS file for that somewhere, so I can set my settings? |

Just create your own CSS, and import the a.cc one above it. |
