Author Topic: Film-Tech web setup Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 02-02-2002 08:43 PM                     John, are you on a dialup or what kind of connection?  |  IP: Logged David Stambaugh Film God Posts: 4021 From: Eugene, Oregon Registered: Jan 2002 posted 02-02-2002 09:24 PM                        I'm on dialup. The only thing "slow" I've noticed is the buttons on the vertical nav. bar are slow about appearing during a screen refresh or when I first link to the site. Other than that, which is a very minor issue, everything is working OK. WinME, IE6 (pls don't laugh).  |  IP: Logged Randy Stankey Film God Posts: 6539 From: Erie, Pennsylvania Registered: Jun 99 posted 02-02-2002 09:46 PM                     I'm grabbing the thin frames, not the scroll bar sliders. Doing so makes the scroll bars go away. (Because the image inside the frame doesn't need to be scrolled.) As soon as the page reloads it goes back to the original. I notice that the margin between the buttons and the left side of the frame is larger than the margin between the buttons and the right side. (When you move the frames to the smallest size where the scroll bars go away.) If that left margin was clipped a bit, it might fix the problem. This in not just an IE problem. iCab does the same thing, only the page stays the same over the course of an auto-update. If you close the page and go back to it, then it resets itself.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 02-02-2002 09:55 PM                     I find it interesting that users are actually seeing the ENTIRE page reload once a minute. Are you guys certain that the main frame (the one you are reading this in) as well as the navigational frame (the one with the 12 links) are reloading and not just the chat room monitor? There is nothing in the code to auto-refresh the other screens.  |  IP: Logged Adam Martin I'm not even gonna point out the irony. Posts: 3686 From: Dallas, TX Registered: Nov 2000 posted 02-02-2002 10:05 PM                     I'm only seeing the chat frame refresh. No problem with the nav frame changing size once I drag them to size. Win98, MSIE5.5  |  IP: Logged Randy Stankey Film God Posts: 6539 From: Erie, Pennsylvania Registered: Jun 99 posted 02-02-2002 10:21 PM                     Aah! The chat frame is auto-updating and THAT's what's causing the whole screen to APPEAR like it's being updated because when the frames move it makes the rest of your frames move over to fill in the space... I get it. Still doesn't explain why the image(s) don't fit inside the frames you gave them in the first place.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 02-02-2002 10:32 PM                     Did ya notice the first line of text on the main page Randy? "This site is ideally viewed with a screen resolution of 1024 x 768. "  |  IP: Logged Adam Martin I'm not even gonna point out the irony. Posts: 3686 From: Dallas, TX Registered: Nov 2000 posted 02-02-2002 11:14 PM                     Actually, because MSIE renders tables ever so slightly differently from NS, with my screen set to 1024x768, I still have to heighten the nav frame by about 10 pixels to fit everything properly. Not that I'm complaining about it or anything. (editing) Additionally, I just noticed the File/Edit/View toolbar is a little shorter in NS, giving just the perfect amount of room for the nav frame content.  |  IP: Logged Bob Healey Film Handler Posts: 93 From: Milford, CT Registered: Sep 2001 posted 02-03-2002 01:51 AM                     I'm using Netscape 4.78 (Linux) at 1024x768 and have scroll bars on the navigation chat frames too. Doesn't bother me personally, just thought I'd let you know  |  IP: Logged Rachel Gilardi Madam Moderator Posts: 2214 From: Peabody, MA, USA Registered: Dec 2007 posted 02-03-2002 02:09 AM                     The site does seem a lot slower than normal lately, not Chipper at all! Dial-up, Windows XP, IE 6.0, I'm assuming this is because of the Chat room update? Anyway, I'd rather have the new changes and wait a bit more than normal. Good job Brad & Joe!  |  IP: Logged John Westlund Expert Film Handler Posts: 204 From: Burney, CA, USA Registered: Jun 2001 posted 02-03-2002 03:20 AM                     Brad, Im using a DSL connection.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 02-03-2002 03:56 AM                        It is interesting that people are saying that the site is slower. The new "button" JPEGs for the navigation frame take up about 50% of the memory as the original GIF files when they were just blue text on the bottom of the browser. Of course GIF files are naturally bigger than JPG files. Maybe it is the loading of the chat frame since it has to check with another part of the site before it can load?  |  IP: Logged John Westlund Expert Film Handler Posts: 204 From: Burney, CA, USA Registered: Jun 2001 posted 02-03-2002 04:46 PM                     Its not just the chat frame that is loading slow for me. The whole site it loading slow. Sometimes the page will come right up and sometimes it takes a long time for it to come up. All other sites I have been to are pretty zippy.  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 02-03-2002 05:44 PM                     the only thing I noticed is the menu frame is slow to load therest is very fast the new menu frame is far better on the latop  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 02-03-2002 06:18 PM                     We'll keep looking into it. Both myself and Joe have been busy lately working on new additions to the site (for the members with pics only), so what spare time we have had has been minimal. Those of you who still haven't sent in your picture, you're about to miss out!  |  IP: Logged
