We've deployed quite the update this morning to take a large pass at performance issues which have plagued the site. This is our first big update this year and we're going to continue addressing issues as needed.
We'll be posting a news post about this update soon!
Patch Notes
Social sharing buttons for front page news posts and deck pages have been moved into a new button.
This prevents them from hanging browsers when they all load up. They'll now load on demand when you click Share.
SWFObject has been removed. Flash be gone!
Improved loading of TinyMCE, our post/comment editor. (Which includes not loading it on every page)
Collapsible elements have been tweaked to improve performance.
Fixed issues with front page widget which caused extra parsing/rendering.
Removed some libraries we no longer need that were used as a bandaid to give browsers features they didn't yet support - they do now!
Made improvements to the fixedCardListing function used on deck pages.
Timers on the site, the automatically updating dates, have been improved.
We no longer load forum-specific stuff on every page.
User is Online animation causing lag has been fixed.
