The Wave Pool > Forum (SSPlash.com) problems?
There was some recent discussion about some people experiencing lag
problems with this forum and the text editor in it. So, I wanted
to start a topic to discuss this and any other issues that you find wrong with this site. 
According
to my research, it seems that the lag is much better, if not completely
fixed. So, I'd like to know if any of you are still having lag
problems. If so, the main questions I have for you are: What web browser are you using? and How fast is your internet connection? 
I
did make some significant changes in the way the entire SSPlash site is
rendered to the screen, but I won't expand on that unless there are
specific questions. Hopefully it resolved the problem.
One
known issue is the fact that clicking on the smilies in FireFox doesn't
post them in the message. I am trying to see if this is
fixable. For now, if you want to add a smiley, hold your mouse
over the one you want and it will show a pop-up with the keyboard text
needed to type the smiley in your message. Hope this helps.
Thanks!

Of course, now this screen came up fine, so I'm not sure what's up.
UPDATE: the edit screen comes up ok. But when I click submit, it takes 30 seconds or so to complete. With my other postings today, the entry screens took a while to come up.
At least it is here in FireFox land.
Foretunatly, because I'm using FireFox, I just go to some of my other tabs, check the current [url=http://www.woot.com]Woot![/url], email, whatever, while the post posts.
Interesting! I'm not sure what is causing that. From everything I have seen it seems to be working better. Have these problems been on the same computer each time? This editor is working perfectly for me right now, and it loaded very quickly. If there's any more specific information you can give me, that would be great! Thanks
I'll try at home and see if it's better.
Let's see how this goes.
Edit: Yep. This is much faster. I don't know what's going on at work. I follow other forums during the day and don't see the kind of lag I see with this one.
And it was much better for a while, also. At l thought I had experienced the speed up at work.
In my eye, they kinda all run together.
Also, being able to click on a thread and have it open to my first unread entry in that thread would be really useful, now that we got some real conversations going here.
That is much easier on the eyes.
I tried to quote a post to reply to it. The post showed up in the body, in the little box, but disappear. And whenever I typed an apostrophe ' it would active firefox search (cntl-f). :confued:
Oh, it is probably another issue with your computer, he he! Let me try too. I'm typing an apostrophe with no problems and using Firefox. Let me try to post this . . .
Hmmm, did this work? Of course sometimes I mess up on the quotes anyways . . .
