Why? Well a web browser needs to load the ENTIRE table before it can display anything inside it.
So instead of getting to read the page content progressivley as it loads, you're looking at a blank page till the entire page loads. In threads as long as "Freedom of Speech", on a forum that doesn't break it's threads up into 'pages', this can be really annoying.
It's a web page tip.
Each post should be an individual table.
Actually it may well be quite a while, especially with the added load of avatars. And 30 seconds may not sound like much on paper, but in terms of loading a forum page it's an eternity and a half.
Show me the power child,
I'd like to say,
That I'm down on my knees today,
Gives me the butterflies,
Gives me away,
'Til I'm up on my feet again,
I'm feeling outshined.
Sorry guys, I mistook this forum for one that welcomes "comments about the site".
If this is not the case, then I can understand the spitefull responses, and interpretation of my 2 comments as "bitching".
In which case, I think the forum description should be worded so as not to welcome feedback on the site.
Thanks TigerWorks and Wong Chung Bang, for supporting my observation.
Rycon, I wasn't saying it was broke, just commenting/suggesting. I won't be loosing any sleep over how this site is actually designed. I was just doing what I thought the forum description allowed.
This forum is for posting suggestions and improvements.. Thanks Domarius, but as someone posted above everythings in a master table which is rather vital anyway so its not really possible
Cybermaze... THAT was funny?! I was looking at it afterwards thinking how lame it was!
