Forums upgrades notification thread of beauty and justice

[Tarvu]

Forums have been loading slowly on chrome for ages with me. Both on my probably malware-ridden PC and my probably malware-ridden netbook and the disease-covered machines at University.

Too many torrents Mr Bird.

The forums have been loading super slow on desktop chrome and now youtube videos are being replaced with "ADVERTISEMENT" on mobile chrome.

Noticed some slowdown last night, but seems fine now and YouTube videos appear normal on mobile chrome for me. Still happening for you?

[usedtabe]

Yeah youtube videos still not showing up. EDIT :cleared cache and they show up fine now.

[Aaron Mxy Yost]

Weirdness. Still running slow in Chrome, or has that cleared up too?

[usedtabe]

Yeah, it is. A cache wipe helped for a second but it's still slow, mainly when coming from the subscriptions page.

[Aaron Mxy Yost]

Are you connected through Facebook? Try logging out of Facebook and clearing your cache, I think that's what's causing it.

[usedtabe]

Nah, no Facebook connection but it did start gradually getting better before I left the office at noon today. Haven't tried it at home yet but it was almost back to normal when I left.

[Aaron Mxy Yost]

Huh, in both Firefox & Chrome being logged into Facebook Connect slows everything down, but goes back to normal after logging out.

[usedtabe]

Grunchkin's laptop was still slow so I signed out of Facebook(even though it's not connected to here) and it worked like a charm.

[Aaron Mxy Yost]

Niero says there's some tech tests going on that might be causing some weirdness, but I honestly think it's Facebook lagging shit up. I'll see if I can dig up more info .
