About the Problem With The Site Slow-Loading
— Ace

A long time ago I posted embedded vids on the main page and the site began loading too slowly. So now I usually only post them under the fold.

I had forgotten this lesson, and so never thought to mention to rdbrewer that there were too many videos in the sidebar. I just thought, "Oh, cool, little videos in the sidebar."

Anyway, a commenter spotted the likely problem and noted it and now the sidebar is cleaned up. The slow-loading problem should be fixed.

2 Wouldn't hurt to dispose of some dead links on the sidebars either, Ace. 

/But losing them might cause the site to lose that unique Ace-ish charm.

3 Thanks, Ace...at home it was OK, but on my cellphone everything stopped dead. I'm glad to be a daytime moron, again.

Did we move and nobody told me?

hm. no more videos on the side bar. noted.

Does that include pictures too?

14 Remember the days when you you went to a web site and it loaded?  Instead of going to a web site and having your computer wait to connect to 25 web sites?  And shit wasn't moving around all over the fucking place?  Like we're a bunch of children amused by shit moving around all over the fucking place.

122 So will removing the vids fix the double-posting problem?

Posted by: Empire of Jeff at February 03, 2011 09:52 AM (2qc7e)

123 I am all for cutting but not the sidebar videos. I've been paying for those videos for years now and just when I get ready to watch them you pull them away like lucy with a football.

124 Because sometimes my browser seems to show duplicate posts, but the bylines are different. Weird.

126 Will it fix the no comment box Loose Change heroin arrest thread problem?

127 Can someone explain this to me--
How is is that the Republicans are going to cut $74bil discretionary and $16 bil defense, but the newspapers say that only equals a total of between $32-$58bil because of the continuing resolution? Also, why are some stories saying $32bil while others are saying $58?

128 85 What's an external fan and how do you attach it to the laptop?
I've burned up 3 laptops....

Laptop cooling mats.  I accept payment for helping in pics   They look something like this and you should find a few no problem in the Wal-mart Laptop accessories area.

129 And they are powered with a USB connection.

130 130 Even 5 Below sells them.

131 I see, the cooling mat runs your batteries down before the computer can burn up.

Posted by: maddogg at February 03, 2011 09:57 AM (OlN4e)

132 What doesn't work is laying on the couch with a comforter over you and you laptop on your lap. That will over heat your laptop. Another thing I find that helps, is that I have a small clip on fan that I attach to something and have blowing on the AC adapter box or what ever you call it.

134 118 ...plus come blogs are saying that boner's having an affair with a staffer and they are going to bring this out.

Daily Kos should know that the last one didn't stick and this one won't either-- unless they actually have more evidence for this besides hearsay and conjecture.

135 It seems the internal fans start working when they feel like it when your laptop gets old.(8-12 months)

Well I'm usually only using mine when its plugged in, Why bother lugging the whole thing around if you want to be completely portable.

138 I meant to do that.

139 When this was asked yesterday I thought someone said "just send an email to Ace"

I did that several times, finally decided to embrace my victim status.

144 I certainly hope that this fix didn't destroy the double-posting by Ace feature so beloved by many of us here.

BTW, has there been any news about khiri-wielding Gurhkas taking out would-be rapists lately?

I was.  I had to switch zombies to manifest here again, but I like the new hash better anyway so, no hurt, no foul.

147 Why are they arresting journalists?  I know around here they aren't the most popular people in the room but that makes my skin crawl.  What are they planning to do in their own country that they obviously don't want the world to see or report on?

Posted by: curious at February 03, 2011 10:19 AM (p302b)

148 Oh wait, nickless was banned.  Hell, it looks like it may be a while, even though I e-mailed Ace today and Maetenloch a few days ago.

149 What happened to the long-promised on-line registration for hobo hunting licenses that was to have been offered by this site? Having that here would save us all countless hours of aggravation involved with finding the licensing body in our individual states and wasting time standing in line.

Ace is just a puppet for the real master, Pixy.

To recognize our home-grown patriots who battle those who left unchecked would rape America. My nominees would be: Judge Feldman for holding the fed govt in contempt of court for its drilling moratorium Judge Vinson for holding Obamacare is unconstitutional Ace for distracting Morons everywhere and his occasional Value-Rite induced hobo beat downs

I'm glad verything is solved!  So, question:  How do I watch the videos on the sidebar now?

Posted by: Black Mamba at February 03, 2011 10:32 AM (tSxym)

154

Speaking of video, I can't believe the Netflix ad here is advertising to "Rent Jennifer's Body today!"

What a steaming shitpile of a movie, starring a talentless skank of an actress.

155 104 Can we also have "web 2.0" posting, an idle connections that reports to the browse as soon as a comment is posted, digg/reddit/facebook/twitter sharing buttons, and selectable CSS themes? And a pony?

Posted by: fb at February 03, 2011 01:43 PM (G60Nl)

That the W3C markup validator finds 780+ errors on the front page alone is evidence ace will first need to master "web 1.0".

159 This seems like a good thread for this question: this site actually closes any browser I use if I'm using my Android phone, and kicks me out to the home page. I've tried it with Dolphin, Skyfire and the built in browser, they all run away shrieking from this site. Any Android geeks who know what might be up? Site works fine with or without the mini-videos from any browser on my desktop.

I thought the slow upload went away because I smacked on the side of my monitor enough times.....

But whatever works..its back to 'normal' now.

Posted by: Gilligan at February 03, 2011 10:57 AM (hTkK/)

161 Anyway, a commenter spotted the likely problem and noted it and now the sidebar is cleaned up. The slow-loading problem should be fixed.

Oh thank God.  I thought my 'puter was slowing down because of all the pron.  But it was Ace's fault!
