No one at this forum lately?

Um. Yeah. My senses are deceiving me and it really takes ages to load these pages. Uh huh.

 

No. I'm not that old and my faculties are fully in tact, thank you.

It was a joke. Note the smiley.

 

Seriously though, you're not having any speed problems with the site. Nor are a lot of other people. That's great, and you're very fortunate. However a lot of people are not so fortunate and that's something we're going to look at addressing - even if we can make simple changes like moving CSS in to its own file so it gets cached, every little helps.

 

As alp0001 noted, one can go to the preferences and disable certain features which may help in some areas. The navigation template of the site will still be pretty heavy though, for the time being. Personally I enjoy seeing people's avatars but am less of a fan of gradients, popup menus and other widgets everywhere.

 

 

To throw my opinion in to the other issue, and second what a few staff have already said - if anyone reading this _ever_ feels any reluctance to make a post here based on expected responses from other members, please send me or another mod/admin a private message so we can discuss it. We want to make this the #1 site for .net questions, both in friendliness and in technical knowledge of regulars.

 

If anyone ever feels antagonised or put down, make sure you report it. Us moderators usually notice these things but like anything, sometimes things fall through the cracks.
