Google Chrome

[JRod0802]

I've found that this site loads much slower on Google Chrome than on Firefox. It's mostly on loading actual threads rather than the menus. I've tested this on two separate computers. I think it all started around the time the "Tweet" option was added to the bottom of each post, which was a few months ago.

Has anyone else noticed this?

Yep, the Tweet also started a holdup when posting. That is, after typing, the "Post Quick Reply"does not load and the workaround has to be go to the "Go Advanced" and post from there.

Wow I first tried using IE8 (work computer is XP) and it was unusable. Then started using chrome, and is mostly ok. If FF is indeed faster I may have to install it.

Yes, I noticed a big slowdown when Twitter and Facebook links were added. I could see my browser spending more time sending those sites link visit data then actually loading content from here. I made a fuss to the forum operator, who then removed the Facebook links but left the Twitter links. So it is still somewhat slow, but not as bad as it was for a while.

In response to the slowdown I changed my forum settings to show less posts per page which helped, but means I am doing more page stepping than I used to do.

Yeah me too. I used to do 100 per page, but now I do 40. Does anyone actually use the "Tweet" button? Is there a way for the moderators to track that?

But how long does firefox take to open? It's the slowest browser to open, slower that IE, Chrome is the fastest. I could load the TM.com site 10 times before firefox opens.

To be honest, not sure why we need the tweet buttons on each post? Tweet or Like a thread, sure, but not the individual posts?

I only use Chrome and have zero speed problems....

No speed or functionality problems here.

I'm using Chrome on an ancient laptop on XP too.

So it seems like Me, vfx, TEG and maybe ElSupreme are having problems with Google Chrome. NigelM and dpeilow aren't having problems with Chrome.

Do you think it has to do with OS? I'm just trying to narrow it down (software testing is part of my job description at work). I've tested with Vista and Windows 7 and had problems with Chrome. dpeilow tested with XP and had no problems with Chrome.

For those of you that use Chrome, can you post your OS and whether you're having problems or not? Maybe we can get this figured out.
