Due to the sidebar, the forum has become really lagging. It becomes a pain to scroll while using firefox. I think it works fine on safari as told by someone on the chatbox.
But i am sure most of the users on ego-one use firefox.

What i am suggesting is, either remove that sidebar or fix the issue which is causing the lag.

I will add a poll to find out how many users are facing the problem.

Thanks.

I'm on chrome and I can see a slight reduction in scroll speed.
but my firefox also responded negatively to the sidebar.

I'll try testing without the css3 effects, maybe its them that are causing the problems.

Sorry but There is Not lag

Yes, i have lag, the forum is moving so slow, in frames...

I only have lag when I roll over the images.

yes, it is slightly

hmm.... what lag? I am in Chrome. And personally, all other browsers should take after chrome and safari. They carry out more options for web developers... Firefox is just a add-on carrier. For safe and secure browsing. Chrome is getting there.. They already have add-ons available.. They even have support for some grease monkey scripts. without needed to install a add-on! And the only reason IE is the number one browser is because windows is the most sold OS. That and most users are not tech savvy enough to move on from IE and see the internet in a whole new perspective. If everyone new how to install a internet browser without paying geeksquad or another tech company then IE would be dead today....

I'll stay out of the browser discussions, but will only add that any serious software developer will have IE, Firefox, Chrome, and Opera installed on their system.

Apple is the driving force behind CSS3 because many of the CSS3 enhancements are built into its OS, and the Webkit rendering engine is built around those functions. Those CSS3 enhancements will ALWAYS be faster on Chrome/Safari than on any other browser, and they will be the fastest when using a Mac.

The developers of Firefox, IE, and Opera are the controlling force of W3C. That may change in the future, but for now, any CSS3 proposals not in FF3.6 have NO HOPE of being adopted. A few others will probably be dropped from future versions of Firefox and will not make it into the CSS3 specs as well. The ones in question are those built into the core of Mac OS. There's precedent here. Microsoft tried to ramrod the IE filter properties into the CSS2 specs and were shot down -- it would have given them a competitive advantage since those functions were built into the Windows core. Apple was the biggest complainer at the time...funny how things change in a few years.

There's an old saying...the reason to learn from the past is so you don't repeat it. I guess Apple never heard the saying.

This is why I stay away from using any CSS3 property that is built into the Mac OS core, because it will NOT be part of any CSS3 spec. Why write software that will only work on 1/3 of the browsers accessing the internet?

Most of my browsing is with Firefox. Ego-one has always been slow for me. The sidebar didn't seem to change things, but then again, a speed drop from 4kph to 2kph is a 50% drop but wouldn't be noticeable...

I thought it was only my problem. But now it seem to be ours.

For now the left bar will stay, until a valid alternative appears.


A small question though.
Did the old toolbar, the bottom mac styled one have any problems?

As far as i remember it did not.

Did any of you guys notice that the View Profile thing does not work currently, is it because of the sidebar?

It's not working for me too.
And I don't think that it's the sidebar's fault.

The View Post Info was working the other day and the slider has been on. Jalolkim might of do something to it.

Firefox sucks, get google Chrome
