... attempting to open a message before the page is 100% loaded triggers a page refresh. When everything is working well and the whole page loads in a second or two this isn't a big deal; but every once in a while something barfs on my work connection and pages will stall (typically at 90-99%) for 30 seconds or a minute before completing. When that happens I've got a lounge page that looks like it should be ready to go but which any attempt to expand a message to read ends up making the problem worse (by resetting the suckage latency delay).
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I posted it here as a rant rater than in bugs and sugs for a reason.

I feel your pain.
What is this talk of release? I do not release software. My software escapes leaving a bloody trail of designers and quality assurance people in its wake.

On slow connections set the message count per page to 25 or even 10. That used to work for me on 33.6 dial-up.

90% of the time what I run into at work isn't the connection being slow per se (occasionally I do see the page rendering one message at a time; but even when the connection is bad that's the exception rather than the rule); but that it gets >90% done but doesn't complete. When it does that I see the same behavior internet wide regardless of how big the pages are. On most sites it doesn't matter; but the way CM implemented the normal layout it's a huge problem here.

The Austrians are a country of over zealous b'tards, with no sense of fun and an inability just to let things go.
At least that's my experience from driving* through the country on my way to Hungary.
* At a sensible** speed of course.
** Look, I decide if it's sensible or not and I see nothing wrong with 140 kph***!
*** In an 80 kph zone.

Forgot you weren't in Germany anymore did you.
Could be worse though, could've been Switzerland[^].

I didn't know you had a car that could do 290 Jörgen? Actually, I didn't think ANY Swedish car could do that much! 
And a Swede in Switzerland, geez that must have confused the American readers (if any)!

There are a few[^].
How about Denmark?

Denmark is a small country. If you got that one up to max speed in Denmark, you wouldn't be able to brake before you were in Germany (and yes, I did read the numbers about the braking capabilities...  )

But when you're in Germany you only need to brake when you're in a "Stau".
Which is often enough.

Reminds me of a time my Father took me on a road trip to Germany (yes, we WERE going to stock up on alcohol, but that is not the point), and not being very proficient in the German language, he asked me why there were signs pointing to several cities along the autobahn with the same name: "Ausfahrt"!

Who works somewhere interesting? Somewhere fun?
I don't mean the office or building, but the general area, what is within walking distance, what you have to travel through morning and evening.
This part of the world is so damn insipid, getting to work is tedious and uninspiring. Going for a lunchtime walk down the canal and counting submerged supermarket trolleys doesn't exactly set you up for the afternoon.
So what is so great, or not so great, about where you work?
Pictures of the view out of your window would help.
View from the window closest to me[^]. I live about 16 miles in that general direction.

Yeah, I started adding a rider that he wasn't allowed to enter, but then decided against it.
He is certainly setting the standard, in the whole world someone must be able to beat him.

Surely you can't think it is *that* interesting, it is just a lump of steel in the middle of sea where a bunch of men and a few women swear and shout at each other all day.

It's the raw untamed majesty of the ocean, the danger of the commute, the ferocity of the weather, that makes it interesting.
And the massive office full of snacks.

Besides, I miss being allowed to swear at people whilst at work.
Giz a job.

I swear constantly at work. The joy of telecommuting.

Steady on...........it is not that interesting. Becomes the norm after a while.

That's true of anywhere, I think.
