Are we getting there?

Faster..Faster..FASTER!

Friday, December 10, 2004 by Frogboy | Discussion: WinCustomize News

Okay guys, after two marathon days of coding, the IT team and myself have been working on getting the speed on WinCustomize to be better. Is it feeling better yet? Does the site feel peppier?

When I click on "quote" on any comment, the textbox only says [ quote][ /quote] (without the spaces), but does not include the text of the comment I want to quote.


I believe you would need to select/copy the text you want to quote, then paste it between the quote tags...at least that's what I did here.

also, wanted to thank Frogboy, T-man, and the rest of the team for a great job on the new site. I definitely noticed a major difference in page loading today!!

At one stage I had a page load of 2 minutes 5 ....since then the same load was 5 seconds....that's a 25-fold improvement. Typically overall I'd say the speed is up about 5x. As other bugs are squashed...and features added 2K5 will just get better and better. It's almost like Christmas, really .....

I just realized that if you select the text first and then hit quote it puts that text in between.
Wouldn't it be better if it default to the entire text if no text is selected. Not very easy to guess the system...

Has that FIA stopwatch become a part of your anatomy?

I like the change! The site is indeed more responsive. however,can you please sharpen the pictures of the skins on the windowblinds site if possible. They are not as clear as the previous site made them. Otherwise,nice stuff!

Well, tried to upload a Wallpaper submission and got the old "Cannot load page ... server not found".

Drats, hope that one gets a fix. Tried from both IE and WC Browser to no avail.

If anyone has any helpful hints, I would appreciate it.

Hello thecat2000,

Sorry about the issue with the Account page logging you out. This bug was reported Friday and is on out list of "to-do's" For the mean, once you login to the Account Page, click on the "Options" tab (at the top) and then (once that new page loads) click back on the "Vital Stats" tab. You should be okay from there.

George
