Severe latency when replying to a thread?

[O2HeN2]

Starting several weeks ago I started noticing severe latency when replying to threads. Like I'll type and it'll take over 30 seconds (sometimes up to a minute!) for what I'm typing to appear. This is on a Chromebook using Chrome.

Has anyone else noticed this?

Nothing else on the Chromebook appears to have this problem, only when replying to threads on this particular 'board.

I'll try using chome on the 'ol PC for awhile and see if the problem exists here.

It’s the new censorship feature. Once you type it someone has to look it over to see if it’s acceptable.

I was noticing the same thing a while back, it just kind of stopped happening out of the blue.

been happening to me lately, but not on every reply. Doesn't seem to happen in the "quick reply" box, only when I hit "Reply with quote".

It's some kind of javascript code running, but I haven't taken the time to dig deeper and find out exactly what.

I'm getting it too. Also using Chrome

Helps the tech folks if all who experience this include things like OS and browser.

So far it seems Chrome is the common thing for those experiencing this.

This thread jinxed me, it just happened to me when editing a post.

Are you using Chrome?

[izzy]

Sure, you weren't laughing before...we were both really embarassed by what I saw. As I recall, I even vomitted a bit.


I received a trouble ticket at work yesterday from one of my users who complained about "significant latency getting into websites [no, not this site] using Chrome". My response to this ticket, and to all of you is the same: QUIT USING CHROME!

Google's Chrome is doing a LOT of stuff behind the scenes that you don't want to even think about, among which is data mining. To you, the end user, it's a good browser. To Google it is a valuable tool that is obtaining more user data. This doesn't even cover the fact that Chrome was recently hacked, putting your personal data and viewing habits into the hands of folks even less scrupulous than Google (hard to believe, but it's possible).

If you don't like using IE, and who does anymore?, consider using Mozilla Firefox or for our Apple(Mac) users, Safari. But I can't stress enough the problems with using Chrome.

[CS1983]

Chrome isn't even on the approved list where I work due to its various issues.

I have no idea why anyone uses Chrome.

Maybe it's just one of the 2 google javascripts that load on every page of this site? They could just be loading anything they would like.

Take a look at the source code.
