So slow now

[jj2]

if you really must be rid of the buttons and can live without facebook, google +, and twitter you could always edit the hosts file.
If Roly doesn't get the coders to do a workaround (disable option) I'll do a tutorial on how to block them through the hosts file. It is not as hard as people would think.

Oh PLEASE!

Kent, I think Katya meant to say In Private Filtering. [It's extremely difficult to communicate whilst crying and experiencing seizures.] The In Private Filtering (it's in IE8 not IE9) adjustment does not affect history.

Got ya. In reading a bit more it seems the code for using Google plus on web sites was screwed up by google itself which slows the loading and there are fixes available on the net for it. My ad muncher will eventually rid me of the 'virus', and those in OWS can still see the latest Grimm Green video

BTW, I got rid of the facebook like button with Ad Muncher by right clicking on the forum home page and using 'remove link' option, then chosing 'remove scripts with text'. Don't know what else it affects at this point but so far haven't noticed any problem. Google plus is still there, along with the delay.... With Ad Muncher you can remove twitter by simply right clicking and 'remove the link'.

Page loading is still painfully slow. Is Google plus the culprit?

 

[tiburonfirst]

one of the culprits, banjo - fconnect and twitter don't help ......

We now have a way to remove most of the social buttons. It disables the Google +1, Twitter and FB Likes buttons if you choose to do so.

In your Settings >> General Settings >> scroll down to the bottom -- there is now an option to disable Social Buttons.

Try that please.

We can't get rid of the FB Connect as it is now integrated with the forum.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

You rule, Roly!

 

[Liscab]

facebook connect is not too harmful as the others , thank you on behalf of the affected

 

[rolygate]

But does it work - that's what we need to know. We can't reproduce this fault, we need you to report pls?

 

[Liscab]

It is working and actually the pages are loading much much faster

but dont trust my opinion , i am one of the few ones that never have problems excepting the 503

Thanks, Roly!

Oh, Lis....

However, my chances were slim to begin with. Where was I in the line? #378?

 

[oldsoldier]

lol lis has a preorder list?

 

[Liscab]

may i ask the meaning of the Line #378 ?...................or am I derailing ? ................

 

[Katya]

lol lis has a preorder list?

Lis has a huge... ahem... following...

BTW, Sarge, love your new signature.

Did the "Disable Social Buttons" routine and the pages seem to load a little faster now... thanks!

There's still a Facebook "like" button that pops up just below the "Reply to Thread" button near the top of the page, and page loading seems to stall before that particular button appears. If that could be eliminated also I think we'd be golden.
