Hate the new Myspace Style background

[14 Kempo]

So what is slow? loading pages or scrolling once a page is loaded?

Loading seems to be fine, maybe something on my network, or within my computer is simply alergic to MT when it has a background enabled. It's been twice, the only other time was Halloween, with that backgrouns enabled. Not a big deal. If others aren't experiencing any difference, it's got to be me. I'll put up with it or move on ... my decision.

Try clearing your browser cache. Might be something clogging up the works.

Had a thought.....what browser/OS are you running?

IE7 on XP Pro, all current updates applied to both the OS and any Microsoft products ... I clear the cache weekly, cleared it last on Thursday. ... it is most noticeable when entering text in a reply, where character spacing is hosed up, and especially trying to backspace within the reply window, of all things ... again, I'm not saying it isn't on my end, but I am saying that it is only when I'm using the MT website and only when a special background is in use. So, if nobody else is experiencing such an issue, I will simply except it as what is and either work through it, or move on.

I am getting this as well, and it did happen when we had the Halloween wallpaper. It is using alot of my CPU resources.... like all of it. It doesn't happen on other discussion boards. I only notice it on reply windows.

No problems here. Everything is moving swimmingly. I like the background.

Maybe it's only west of the mighty Mississippi

I'm west of the Mississippi, and I'm not having any problems. I have cable internet, and use Firefox - if that helps anybody.

Bah

Ok, turned the opacity off, that should make things go smoothly for anyone that was seeing slowdown.

Scrolling seems better ...
Backspacing works better ...
I'm not seeing any problems with character spacing either ...

Thanks Andrew ... you da man!!!

Thank you!

I was having issues as well. Not on this machine (my main rig at home) but on any other computers. As was said earlier, the processor was getting hit - HARD.

I could (and would) fall back to using lynx if need be, but would prefer not to.
