Visit the main page http://www.homepageofthedead.com and...

1) See if it is relatively quick to load
2) The 'emergency scroller' works OK for you


It was written in Java and would take bloody ages to load. It's now in dynamic html so should load quickly.

Can you please say if it loaded/worked and also what browser you used?

www.homepageofthedead.com is blocked by my companies firewall as inappropiate entertainment. LMAO :lol::moon:

Because the forum addy starts with forum.homepageofthedead.com I am able to bypass the firewall.

It took about three times as long to load for me as it usually does... but it still loaded in like 2 seconds. And, yes, the scroller works for me.

Firstly - *chants "FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!" between Neil and Deej* :p

Secondly - oh christ this is so much better mate, seriously, up far quicker and not so strenuous on this computer I'm on (which would frequently freeze up, cos it can't cope with complex websites with lots of "blast" (aka stuff) on it (my other computer is fine with sites though)...anyway, yes, much faster - nicely played, Sir. :)

That ticker has been on the site from basically day one, so I really didn't want to lose it :)

I just tried it (have had occasional loading problems with the main page and the forums the last few weeks) and it didn't fully load the menu at the top of the main page on the first try, but was fine when I refreshed.

The forums were slower than molasses earlier.

I actually noticed when I first came to log on to the forums that the site loaded much faster than normal. Usually the navagation bar at the top would load but then the info down below would take a few seconds to pop up. Today it all loaded really fast.

It has been ages since I visited the main page... so I can't compare. However, it did load fast when I made clicky with the linky.
