IE6 may be displaying a dialog that a script is running slow, but it still runs slow on other browsers. Go to latest articles and give it a try. Pegs my CPU for 5-10 seconds (IE8).

Sorry but, just like Microsoft, CodeProject too does not support IE6 anymore.

I would suggest you to upgrade to latest versions of IE for your own good. IE6 has lots of issues (including security holes!)

The IE6 javascript engine is about a zillion times slower than any other browser available. That it chugs on stuff that everything else finishes almost immediately is to be expected.

Slow Load on IE8 Too

Just to clarify that this isn't just an IE6 problem...

When I go to latest articles, one of my processors jumps to 100% for 5 to 10 seconds. This seems to happen every time I go to the page. Seems a bit excessive for such a simple page.

It may be related to the fact that there is nearly 7,000 lines of HTML when I view the source of the page. That also seems excessive.

That page isn't exactly a Javascript powerhouse. There's some extraneous viewstate (that I'm currently ridding the world of) but not a ton of javascript.

Do you have any add-ins installed that might be playing silly buggers?

[Edit] I can replicate on IE6-8, but not IE9, which leads me to think it's definitely javascript. Still hunting.]

When I viewed the HTML source of the recent articles page, I noticed "SkinCancer" was part of the HTML. That's kinda weird.

Looks like the "Tags" box opens up a pretty complex UI element (that's where the "SkinCancer" came from... probably some of that is user generated content). Perhaps there's some JavaScript in there that's slowing things down.

And this started, in my case on IE6, about 3 days a go. Any ideas?

We moved from jQuery 1.4.2 to jQuery 1.5.1.

I'm going to rollback and see if that helps.

The old wrong forum conundrum

Would it be possible to provide the ability for certain trusted members to move questions to more appropriate forums? It gets a bit silly when you have to point somebody to the right forum because

a) you've just replied to the message, preventing it from being deleted
and
b) if you're telling somebody, you might as well perform the action

I know that you've given certain members site admin privileges in the past - the user base needs expanding (and you could easily limit the functionality to just moving the message - along with triggering an email to the user telling them that their question was moved).

I'm not a stalker, I just know things. Oh by the way, you're out of milk.

alternatively (probably simpler to implement and less confusing to the OP), one could introduce the concept of a weak reply: with a checkbox (or a new message type) you could turn your reply into a weak one, one that doesn't prevent the parent message being deleted by its author. Additionally, the presence of such weak reply might prevent other replies from being added (indefinitely, or for some time span, giving the OP the opportunity to remove it all).

Hmm, but then people on a revenge-trip might use this weak reply to block the original post from getting more answers...

whatever CP would add to remedy the situation would require some restrictions based on rep points or so; as Pete said "for certain trusted members" only.

When I go to the search page, it says "No results were found for the selected search terms and search options." Before a search has been performed, perhaps it should say "Configure search options to the left and enter your search terms above."
