AN Forum FAST FAST FAST

[SAFETY FIRST]

Crikey, what's happened, was it the merger, or is it the time of day, I'm up early? 

 

So fast now, great work and well done Mr AN. 

- Instant Web pages

- Clicking on the notifications bell.....immediate. 

 

You just got to remove those annoying ads now. 😂

 

I comment regularly but my first topic posting of the year. 🥳

Worthy posting 🎉

And, such a great Topic, too!

I already started a similar Topic in the Lounge, which I believe also mentions less noticeable latency.

And, the pages linked in the Notifications Drop-down menu open much more quickly.

 

It is not my imagination, then....?

Oops, I should have looked at your postings first, you never seem to sleep. 👀

 

Anyway, I woke up to a pleasant surprise, so fast. 👍

Aaah, that's your secret. 

 

[GammaGlobulin]

By the way...

There seem to be various other improvements around here, other than just speed.

 

If I am not mistaken:

 

a.  When posting text copied from the internet browser into the body of the TV comment, when the original text had been either bolded or in different PITCH, ....  Now, the text is copied and rectified so that there is no need to manually remove the original formatting.

 

b.  I am now able to copy segments of PDF documents directly into the body of TV comments, something I think I was not able to do in the past.

 

Maybe true, or...

Maybe just my imagination

How about a hug? 🫂

 

I say do away with the sad and confused emoji's, let's have hugs etc.. 

 

Sorry, just joking. 😂

 

 

Removing the confused would be outstanding. 

 

 

a few minutes later........ 

 

Oh look a confused emoji, I'll be hammered now with confused emoji's.

I reckon I'm the AN Forum Member winner for the most confused emoji's received, I've got members stalking me with confused emoji's 😂

So then...

TV will have the up arrow?

Just like GitHub?

 

 

Note:  But then... What will happen to us old gits????

Yes finally opening notifications is fast

Concerning the idea of up-down voting on a forum such as this:

 

I am all for Democracy.

Will we become a truly Democratic Forum, the first in the world, besides one or two?

 

And, in the near future, the Forum will run itself, and moderators will be able relax on the beach with Long Island Iced Teas?

https://meta.discourse.org/t/on-the-necessity-of-up-down-vote-based-reputation-systems-on-boards-involving-subjective-discussion/41442

 

And, also, what about BEHAVIOR MODification techniques, ala BF Skinner?

Will we become nothing more than glorified lab rats in this new Forum experiment?

 

So, let's get ready for some of that good old Positive/Negative reinforcement, coming our way soon?

 

We can only hope, I guess.....

Also, submitting long Topics and long Comments is super fast.

Maybe a millisecond or a microsecond, or even a PICOsecond, maybe....

it's not that kind of up arrow. although i am positive many would like an up yours arrow. this one is the arrow that puts the page to the top again. so you don't have to scroll. key to enjoyment on AN... other than reading your posts.

Thank you for the clarification.

And, thank you for your implied suggestion, as well.

 

I am glad that the GitHub arrow-voting idea is not being considered for now.

 

Because, if the Forum were to use this Democratic System, the Old Gits here might become agitated and confused.

I am old...but...

Not THAT old.

some immunoglobulins are not gamma globulins, and some gamma globulins are not immunoglobulins.

Looks as if you have the start of a beautiful syllogism....

But you've always been running the site through Cloudflare as a proxy. This configuration should have already increased the site's speed exponentially.

Yeah, it´s very fast now. Good job. However, the up arrow, is probably no plugin. just a function that has to be activated in the general settings of the forum.

I wish there weren't any gamma globulins anywhere near AN!

Yes, but we was on a low budget hosting that was very slow, not enough resources.

No, we have to write a plugin this week for that purpose. Now its possible to use plugins again.

Will this make things even speedier, up to about 3.141592 time 10 raised to the 39th power?  The speed would then be: the value of  π but with 39 zeros behind it.  Such speed can be considered, TRULY EXPONENTIALLY Fast!

Try this one, it will make your surfing even faster! We are directly hosted on CloudFlare backbone.

And yet still have to sign in, every time. and then go to latest news, get a year old thread, or one story then reads Comments are turned off, no other stories, then go around in circles to find 'Latest news' its worse now than it ever was and few 'Full story' links.
