New website design & features!

Marsh, one issue that I'm noticing and it's minor to be certain:

Using IE6, it doesn't do it in Chrome.  I'm too lazy to pull the laptop out and see what IE7 does.

If you mouseover the buttons at the top of the page (home, gallery...), they greyout for a bit and are actually redownloaded each time.

Yes, the answer is to update the bloody browser, but i dun wanna!  Figured I'd throw it up there, as it'll eat a little bandwith that it doesn't need to.

Upgrade to Firefox, and you won't have that problem.

I second this option. When I am on my work schedule you, I have to go back more than 5 days to get caught up, and that is usually more than 10 pages...

Hi Marsh, the forum fucking kicks ass!! Always has.. Thank You!

The only thing I wish it had is more than 10 pages on the "most recent posts". I still like to read the messages in chronological order, and sometimes if I'm away at the rally or just not able to get to a computer for a week or so, 10 pages does not cover all I've missed.

It would be even more super cool if there were a tab to click " next 10 pages" ??

Peace & Love!

Andy - it is not actually loading a new image each time.  This is really weird (or highly state-of-the-art depending on how you look at it) but ALL of the buttons at the top and MOST of the graphics on this forum come from ONE small sized .jpg file (only 192 KB).  Your browser is just instructed to show a specific part of that one image file in a specific place.  So - if you can see even one button (or really ANY graphics on the website) then that file is loaded into the browsers cache.  Speaking of which - that could be your issue - your browsers cache size may be too low - or full or something?!?!   I have IE6 on an old HP here in my office I use as a test computer (Intel Celeron - the shitty old Intel processor grade - 2.7 GHz CPU - 1 Gig of RAM - XP Service Pack 2) and I get no lag at all.  Though I am curious to find out why you do.  Do you happen to have a lot of apps open or processes running perhaps?

Hey man, new format is killer.  I think I might be able to even understand it now.  That is if all those goddamn little emoticon bastards don't fire up my ADD too badly.
