Are we getting there?

Faster..Faster..FASTER!

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?

........ all you show-offs with broadband, can stop laughing now.


I'm in the same league. People on broadband or cable might have to wait 2 seconds for a page to load. We, on the other side of the fence, need the speed. It's much better now. Close to the old site.
To me speed is the #1 issue with me (on any site). Some times I'll turn down a site that takes more that 2 min. to load.
I'm a country boy and we might get cable out here in the year 2050. (Maybe). So until I get sattelite, I have a need for speed.

Well, this is what we get when we click on DeviantART under Community:

It's faster but there are a couple of issues, the main one is Firefox support which causes a problem with downloads. In fact I can't download anything using Firefox, only IE6. This is a bit of a pain because Internet Explorer has more security issues than the CIA but that said, the site look so much cooler.

My profile says I have user level 3 "Level 3: Past Stardock Customer", But I'm a ODNT subscriber and have allso bought OD plus not too long ago. Shouldn't I be level 4 then?

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.

And the reply button for any comment doesn't seem to have any effect at all.

Today is like Juan Pablo Montoya or Allan Mcnish. Yesterday was like a turtle stuck in molasses with a lead vest on. In other words, MUCH BETTER. Thanks guys. I also want to know who the behind the scenes, coffee drinking, up all night, masters that have tolerated the ignorant abuse while they have slaved to make this site happen correctly, are. They deserve a big round of applause and a long vacation for their great efforts.

~Well I can finally have a positive comment. The site is moving a lot faster than it has been. I was able to upload to my " current desktop " in account info..but still get " Alert: File contains no data " when I try to upload a screen shot 6 days in a row. Today it said " server timed out " So thats progress.....
