I don't know if anyone else has had this problem. Maybe it's just me, but just so we are clear I'm not on some kind of of crappy dial up connection, I have broadband. I've noticed that when I browse the more popular users of this site, like Spot's page for instance, the page freezes or if it does load, it takes forever and there's lag when scrolling. I think this could be due to the bajillion comments on the page. I tried viewing userpages on both Firefox and Internet Explorer and it still behaves the same way. So, I guess what I'm getting at is this: Would it be possible to limit the number of comments per page? Or can there be an option in our accounts that allows us to set how many comments we can view on a single page?

    Hi, it's because at this point a comments-per-page system hasn't been put into place (I was bugging ӝspot about that before) and so it goes through ALL of the comments on that person's userpage, whether it be 5 comments, or 5000 comments.

    That takes awhile, and that alone probably cause the browser to bug out, but in addition there's javascript to allow you to respond to the comments.

    All of that combined, with god knows how many comments on spot (and other big user's) pages, will make your browser explode in certain circumstances, depending on what you have open, your computer, etc.

    I've been trying to replicate this problem, but I'm honestly having trouble.

    However, you're not the only one having this issue - I've heard of at least one other person having it.

    Any other details besides the more used profile pages, like specific users and so on?

    I haven't encountered any other issues with other profiles but I'll definitely be sure to tell you about if I find any in the future.

    It is not surprising that some people may have an issue like this. The current pages are very heavy, and we are currently in the middle (actually more toward the end) of rebuilding all the html/css to be _much_ cleaner.

    Our deadline on releasing the rebuilt code is the end of the month, so stay tuned.

    Sorry for the inconvenience.
