Kulyok Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 Recently I've noticed that when I browse forums from work(where RSS feeds are not available) G3 threads load four or five times slower than PPG, CM or SS threads. It's quite unfortunate, since I remember the time when G3 forums were the fastest to load. I think the problem is the banner - that large graphics bit at the top. I'm just hoping that if there are enough requests for it, like mine, it will be taken down, or an extra forum theme will be introduced, or something. It has really been a pain. Link to comment
Domi Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 I'm sure Cam the Wizard can fix something that will let people load the forums without the banner. I really love G3 banner because it's different every time it loads and would hate to have it gone completely Link to comment
jcompton Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 I often make fun of Invision, but it does have one neat feature: the "Lo-Fi Version." You'll see the link at the bottom of the page, but here's another: http://forums.gibberlings3.net/lofiversion/index.php/ OTOH, you could use the time spent waiting for G3 to load to code up your TBH quests.

I tried. But the little ones, sure - I know Grim is coding at least one, so do let me know which ones are left. Link to comment
icelus Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 Just change the skin. The banners only appear on the default skin, I think. G3 Old may do for you. I would like the banners to stay. Link to comment

I would like the banners to stay. I'd love to, but it doesn't seem to be possible with the new layout and board settings. If it is, please tell me how to do it: I'll get rid of the thing gladly.

Shaitan Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 I do love the new banners, they give an really authentic feeling. Link to comment

At the bottom-left of every page on the forum is a pulldown menu with skin choices. Link to comment
Kulyok Posted January 21, 2007 Author Share Posted January 21, 2007 Ooooh, happiness! Thank you! Link to comment
jcompton Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 Oh fine. The one time I compliment Invision about a feature and you don't want to use it? Hmph. Link to comment
Kulyok Posted January 21, 2007 Author Share Posted January 21, 2007 I checked it, and it is cool, but I didn't see the fast reply button in there. So I guess "G3 Old" will do. Link to comment
Smoketest Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 I've enjoyed the banners from day one, but probably more so because I've got broadband now. I can see how they would have given me pause for a meal back when I was on dialup. Indeed, I could get a lot more non-computer work done back then. Link to comment

Kulyok Posted January 21, 2007 Author Share Posted January 21, 2007 Can't use anything but IE at work, I'm afraid. Otherwise I'd use RSS. Link to comment
