Re: Anyone having trouble playing HMW using Firefox
Ditto on the health bar issue. It worked pre-crash, but doesn't display now so I just use IE and have no problems, other than when I'm playing games it does slow down the timers so my cons come out of CR before the timer runs out, unless I refresh often to catch it up from lagging. But i think that's just my slow computer's issue, not HMW's problem.

I'm honestly surprised the health bars haven't been fixed by now. All it needs is a defined height of like five pixels. But oh well, it's not like they really serve much of a purpose. The timer is the important part and that works fine for me.

No health bars.
To many tabs/windows=browser lag and the counter will start skipping
Occasionally the site gets locked into a loading phase, where everything just continues to load even after everything has loaded.
There seem to be a random limit on page views before the browser locks up and wont load anything, requiring a reboot of my computer. Though that may be caused by all the image rotators, since I know from past experience that to many will cause a system lockup.
Having too many tabs/windows causing lag is not really the site, its your computer and internet connection. I can load 30+ websites faster on my mac pro firefox on fios than I can on my hp laptop firefox on comcast. When the site bottlenecks, like it did a while ago and I couldn't get onto the forums, thats the website/server.
I do have those problems with firefox. Maybe we should all go back to an older version of it.
Now see, I have the newer version of Firefox and it DOESN'T eat up all my resources on my PC, but IE sucks the life out of my PC if I leave it open with just ONE tab. Seriously, I left HMW up on IE (newest version) over the day and I kid you not it was using 512 megs of RAM while Firefox had 9 tabs open and was using 80 megs.

It's best to assume every link I post is NSFW, and every post I make is just me taking the piss.

Don't forget the loose wiring on the Windows electric shaver. So that every time you put it to your face it shocks you in true Windows style.

For those using IE7 (despite the distaste) here a quick reference sheet, including how to change tabs quickly since IE isn't as intuitive.
