I´ve been having the same problem lately Snow. Old menu style. it´s been like that for about 1 week.
I have the new menu system for me; for a while the menu wouldn´t display at all, but I unchecked everything, then changed my profile, then checked it again and now it works fine. But the site is still very slow.
pogz: are any of the sections "opened"?! If so close all of them, specially the "Productivty" and "Misc"! They take an extremely long time to load. <BR>If all is closed and the site still is slow, log out, delete any Skinbase cookies and log in again. <BR>If that still doesn help then stop all your pr0n downloads in KaZaa....... ๐ ;) ;) <BR> <BR>Brub, I actually don´t remember how the old menu looks like ;) but grave might be doing some work in the background which will make the site generally a bit slower. <BR> <BR>And for the rest of us.... Skinbase are receiving more an more visits and the more Baseheads that is on the site, the "slower" it will be. There are constantly between 50 and 100 visitors on the site dependeing on the time of day :) :) (but only around 10% are registered users)
Are you using the new or the old style menu?!
<b>dang</b> Jafo... digging out the antiques ay?! ;) :p :grin: ๐
Ehh BruB, weren´t you married too?
I can´t log out, I actually click on the Log Out link with no result I just come back as my old self. I would have to find the cookie and eat it if I don,t want Skinbase to recognise me. <BR> <BR>I´m stuck in skinbase forever. and the only chicks are married. Damn me too :/ oh well!
Hmmm...got a 2400 modem [that´s 2.4k] somewhere...;p
You should log out (yes - you can do it!) and view the main page of Skinbase. Lots of features removed for non-members. You want it all, you become a member huh ;)
BruB, get some skin, you can´t go running around naked like that!
Very fast this morning for me too. <BR> <BR>Pogrelz, get an icon, you can´t go running around naked like that, there is some ladies in this place. Pnutt, turn your head please!
Today I got in with no probs... maybe even faster than before... :)
Well, something was done, loads fine now at my end, and I needed a lot of patience lately :). Kudos, gRAVE.
gRAVE is working on this with some possible changes coming soon to the site for non-members. As they use most of the bandwidth, Skinbase might make changes to what a non-member sees on the index page and the ratings pages. The less they see, the less resources used and the better off we all are. <BR> <BR>We´ll see how we go :)
I´ve not been able to load Skinbase at all for the last two days. I got in today but it took approx.1.5 mins to load and the "done, but with errors on page" appears in the bottom left corner. :(
I closed all the groups. That helps a lot. <BR> <BR>"Brought to you in 0.36 seconds" (but im at school now..)
I use the old style menu. A connection like mine and waiting for all those icons to load can cause me to fall asleep ;) <BR> <BR>Plus you can choose to not show empty groups which can quicken your load time.
Once I have a page opened, though, like this comment page, it only takes 40 secs to load... :P
Go PK!!! Nope, no sections open, just the main page, now taking 69-75 seconds to load... Even w/o the pr0n downloads :P hehe.
Look at my PC! and see that ever cool 33.6 Dynalink V.34 DATA/FAX MODEM! Still using it every day (tjee, maybe I should be me a 56k v.90 modem again) :-(
Looking on the shelf - seeing my green (not hairy, just green ;)) old 33.6 modem - LOL <BR>Looking at wall - seeing my greyish 512/128 ADSL Ericsson adapter - ๐ <BR> <BR>:snow ignores any remark from :grave about his ADSL connection at work/home ;)
Opening my junk draw - Peeking inside - Noticing my dusty 56k v.90 Modem - Picking it up - Blowing off the dusty layer - Inserting it back in its place - Closing the junk draw... :)
Dial-up, that still exist :)
hehe :snow pokes :sb.... loadtime for this page 0.81 sec and 4-5 seconds for the frontpage <BR>:moon ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐
gRAVE was working on the site a little today actually ;) A bug fix here and there. We´ll have to look into the load times though. I know I can feel it on my dial-up at times. <BR> <BR>No dial-up jokes please ;)
