The slow loads are because of blizzards site not responding.

New posts not getting flagged is a session problem with your browser and cookies.

Winke-

Are you using broadband and Firefox? If so, go to your browser and in your address bar type in

Code: Select all

about:config


Scroll down and look for the following entries:

network.http.pipelining
network.http.proxy.pipelining
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests

Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time. When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really speeds up page loading. (Barbos, DELETE this post if this conflicts with the server. I've read this is called server raping and have no clue if it affects servers to a point where you notice issues.)

Set “network.http.pipelining” to “true”

Set “network.http.proxy.pipelining” to “true”

Set “network.http.pipelining.maxrequests” to 30. This means it will make 30 requests at once.

Right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it “nglayout.initialpaint.delay” and set its value to “0”. This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it receives.

set "browser.turbo.enabled" to "True"

Exit out of Firefox to apply changes.

Pipelining causes nothing but trouble for me (from using Firefox, not from the server)... random images stop loading... this is on multiple machines on different connections too..

I haven't found any benefit from it.

It's been doing that for years...

[edit]

It has to do with sessions... I haven't had that happen recently, after I made some changes a week ago...

Is it still happening to anyone else besides you?

I rewrote the code that gets the status for WoW... it'll now time out after 5 seconds instead of 60.

I've seen that recommended at several credible places... however it doesn't work correctly for me so I couldn't recommend it...

It does speed it up a bit, however, I had problems with random images (usually 1 per page) not loading at all. When I would refresh it would work, but on the first time viewing a page, some random image would not load. :huh:
