I am wondering if anyone else encounters super slow scrolling when reading a topic. It takes time to load the images i think on the right and seems to skip when scrolling to the bottom of a post. I'm running a AMD Semptron 2800+ with 512 DDR 3200 and it is doing this. I have a 32MB graphics card.

Any suggestions? Just wondering why this happens on this forum but not others.

 

I think its becuase some people have huge signatures on here. I found one animated signature that is 143KB! That seems a little unnessecary for a forum.

 

hmmm...one of the costs of free advertising....

and dont forget my huge avatar!!

 

I never encounter a problem... I've got a cable connection... do you?

Yes I do. It only happens with a forum gets rather long. And even though everything is loaded when I scroll it uses 100% of CPU and is sluggish. Almost like looking at a huge PDF. Probobly becuase all the signatures add up to 1-2MB's a page.

Guess I just have to deal with it.

 

It is all the time or only on sertain threads?

It never happens to me...

 

yea doesnt happen to me either

 

I'm running 128Mb DDR with an AMD 1600+, all on dialup. Worse then your situation. I do get the occasional time-outs from pages loading slowly. The only pages that are slow, as you put it, are threads with multiple big pictures (which is rare), .gif files and videos. Keeping a low amount of windows open helps solve that problem though.
