Ironically, in the problem reporting thread I can't get the "first unread post" buttons to work. I get the message "The requested topic does not exist" instead. And it's only in this thread.

[quote="-Kanrabat-"]That's just it. ALL the adds are animated gif. So, add on, Seibertron is slow as a snail for me. Especially when posting becuase the confirmation page have the same adds too!

The solution would be simple. Make the adds single static pictures only. When the page refresh, then the picture change. I turn off my adblock for many sites, notably Youtube and there is no problems. But I turn it back on when it make navigating the site painful.

Don't get me wrong, I'd really like to support you.. but not at the price of an annoting experience.

There may be those 3 you are talking about. If these adds are in Flash, my Firefox just give up.

[quote="-Kanrabat-"]Yup. Latest version and even youtube run OK.

I'll test with adblock off for a few days and see how it turn out then.

But if possible, it would be nice to make the page "Post posted successfully" add-free to speed things up.

I've definitely noticed an improvement in the ads in the last couple days. The AdChoices ads never give me trouble and lately that's all I've gotten.

Testing after changing meta refresh from 1 second to 0 seconds. Not sure that's necessary though since there was a link to click and it's only 1 second we're talking about.

testing again ... it's taking longer than it should to refresh automatically for some reason, but it's not related to the ads.

Ack. I just went through the three primary Google products that are used in Seibertron.com's code: DFP (which is used to serve our homegrown ads), Adsense (which serves the Google generated ads), and Google Analytics. I found some old code that was no longer valid or is no longer used, that was causing a jQuery error in the code. I thought it was an error from Google, but it turns out it was old or unused ajax code in the header. I verified the code for the 3 Google products and removed the offending code. This might have impacted the speed of the pages as well.

Let me know how things are loading for you guys now or if you guys encounter any further errors.

Well, let's see now...

Pages load at normal speed, but the confirmation screen is subject to mood swings.
:KREMZEEK:

I suppose.

I corrected some additional javascript errors that were caused at some point by moving Javascript files from the header to the footer. This has been resolved.
