Was it April Fool? I dont think so. something has changed.

Can't tell any difference from where I stand.

The changes explain the difference in site performance. Unfortunately, the difference is for the worse. I now have to try multiple times to get pages to load. Tactics Trainer has stopped mid-problem. Generally, the site has become unusable.

I'm running Mac OS X 10.6.2 with Safari 4.0.5.

Some pages don't load properly since the change (didn't make a list, so can't tell you which ones).

Live Chess is still jerky when there are more than about 2000-2500 people playing (which is a pain for bullet chess).

Also another persistent issue: between LC games, the page's focus goes all over the place, so if you're typing in the game chatbox at the time, anything can happen. Usually a spurious rematch is triggered, followed by an equally unplanned abort and a really ticked off opponent.

Those are my biggest beefs. I'll stop now.

odd - i don't experience any of that... maybe it has to do with ads? or your computer speed? or... ? hrmm... not sure how to fix that.

Adblocker is running fine. Haven't seen an ad for months.Cool I shouldn't tell you that, I guess.

P4 @ 3.74, no other programs running. Should be more than enough for a board game. If it's my hardware that's the problem, then why only when >2000 players?

WinXP, Firefox 3.6.3. Haven't tried it in Ubuntu, come to think of it . . .

The jerkiness doesn't bother me as much as the erratic behaviour while typing a comment while a game is loading (the no-man's-land between the xx-won-by-checkmate box and the first move of the next game).

Seems faster, and the pieces move quicker. Keep this stuff.

Avatar of seba-arg

Thanks Eric, I've noticed it's faster now.

Best regards,

well done!

Meebo is telling me I'm offline, when I click to go online, it tries for a while, then just goes back to "You are offline"

Maybe this is unrelated.

Avatar of kohai

BlackNight13, we're aware there is a problem with meebo, i've been running tests on it to see if i can locate where the  problem is. We're working on getting this fixed

The new site seems to be slower to myself in Asia. When i go to my home page it can take a long time. Usually i open in tabs several games at the same time hwoevr this is much slower than it was previously.  i use a mac and firefox.

 

Any ideas?
