The Northern California Fly Fishing Board

Hey GM et. al.

Like the look of the “new” NCFFB, but it seems to run slow on my Windows XP machine with a medium speed DSL connection. By slow I mean messages take 2-3 seconds to open and about as long to back out of. Not a big deal if you only read a few messages but if you want to read a long thread it’s cumbersome. I read several other message boards, e.g. Dan Blanton, Fish Sniffer, etc., and their messages pop up immediately so I don’t think this is a problem with my computer. I’m curious if other people have noticed this.

I don't generally notice an issue with that but I have noticed a lag from time to time. We can do some things to speed that up (it's on the list to be looked at). I do notice that with my Firefox browser it can run a little slower - however, I have my Firefox browser using some debug tools and this will certainly slow it down. One thing you might try doing is clicking the "Flat View" (it's a link on the dark bar towards the top) - this will show you all of the posts in one fell swoop.

Are you using Firefox or Internet Explorer?

Hi Greg-
Yep, using Firefox. Now that you've mentioned that could be a problem, I'll give IE a try and see if that makes a difference.

Thanks,

Hi Greg-
I didn't notice a significant difference with IE. However "flat view" is definitely more time efficient than "threaded view". For me that's looks like the way to go. Keep up the good work.

Fred

...and stay tuned...more improvements will be on the way.
