Hi, could you consider using some javascript to generate the thread list drop-down at the bottom of the page? I'm attaching an image of a function I wrote which does this; it accepts as parameters the current selection, the total threads, and the threads-per-page, which php could feed it very easily using this I was able to decrease page size from 152k to 28k. I tested it in my browser, that's why the window includes the select and the function call. I'm too lazy to escape out all the shit, that's why I snapped it. [to all the haterz--I'm not sucking dicks, I'm posting this because I'm using my dad's slow as shit connection and it's fucking painful to load any page] |

Yo motherfucker welcome back. I have suggested something like that before, also offered to sort the way the formatting is does to remove all the inline formatting for an external css file. I hope something is done because the way it stands now the board kills my gprs usage. |

IT'S LEE!!! HEY!! Did you take your japan trip? Well I hope by posting something it gets done. I didn't exaggerate the change--it really is ~5x. From their perspective it would at least save money, and a little bit of computation since WE would generate the list, not them! haha so you really DO use your phone I thought that was but a jest =) once again, nice to see you. |

Never made it in the end, girlfriend was ill and couldn't go :( yep, I do indeed use my phone on occassion, mostly for checking my email on the go but if I am travelling and stuck for something to do I look in. |

that sucks =( I hope everything is going well anyway. I dunno if you saw it, but I actually wrote an XLT parsing proxy once.. it put a check box next to everyone in the user list and locally stored a user-block-list. fuck I'm logging off, this page load is hell, I can't carry on a conversation at all. happy new year! |

I really have no idea. only elusive can have anything resembling an idea of what the sentence means. |

Does this site use the compression built into most browsers? As it's mainly text that can be compressed and this site is a shit load of text that would help. |
||||||||
|

|||||||||

It isn't used I think, but I'm too lazy to check. for those who don't know--there's something you can load on the web server (apache2 has mod_gzip) which will compress transmissions. The CPU hit isn't trivial compared with the bandwidth saved, and it's fully backwards-compatible; a browser can say 'fuck you give me plaintext' |

why not something like this? 1 2 3 4 5 » |

I don't even know how to check :P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think that would be good too, but I think they probably considered it and liked it; what I posted is a fully functional replacement which gets identical behavior.. I think it's kinda cool having everything accessible the way they have it, but adding 120k to the page is silly. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
when a browser connects to a site, before saying POST or GET to being data transmission, it also gives some things like referrer, browser identificiation.. it can also announce that it uses GZIP. you could check by seeing if xlt respects this. |

i 2nd that emotion. |

By the way, you weren't around as much when I got permbanned, but I've enjoyed seeing you from the sidelines since then. Cheers and happy new year! giginger the nice thing about mod_gzip is it's an easy to use apache module. You just have apache load it, maybe set a configuration directive, and it's in use! No need to dick with code. And by the way PHP is the biggest shitheap in the universe (I won't call it a language), so let's not get into that. I really wish they'd consider this javascript. I actually stuck it in a page and tried it; works perfectly. I wrote it in such a way to be used easily from the php. and it really caused a >5x size reduction. Given that most images are cached, this is a big deal!! |

It explains why on the PHB boards I see gzip enabled at the bottom. |

*hi-5* happy new year to you too. although, i've got to say, if all hangovers last this long in 2005 i'm gonna be pissed off. |

cool idea sneak, i will email you soon |

YOU STOLE MY EDIA |

what do they use now to do this? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
this, repeated over and over again untill ~70000 is reached. its even worse if youve set it to 20 threads/page... |

hard coded |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
wut? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
its been hard coded, the drop down menu, its when you define your data out right: hard code: string s0, s1, s2, s3; s0 = "SAW II"; s1 = "i card because you do"; s2 = "rdj lp"; s3 = "drukqs"; system.out.println(s0 + s1 + s2 + s3); vs list l = (s0, s1, s2, s3); iterator iter = list.iter(); while(!iter.isempty()) ..system.out.println(iter.next()) |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|

the way it is now, you're having to download the HTML code for that entire huge list. the size of that definately makes a difference to people on slow connections. with the new way sneakattack sugested, you would only download three values from the xltronic servers (and that javascript code), and your browser would dynamically fill the list. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
just for the layman like me - the noticeable effect would be that the page loads quicker? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah. it should. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
do you have dial up? |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|

yeah. it should. |

no, DSL. |

woah, wierd, a double post seperated by 5 minutes. |
||||||||
|

|||||||||

Is that l33t? |

There is less information to download however it depends how quick your computer is when it comes to processing the Javascript. I like the way when I suggested it last year it was basically ignored now it is a cool idea. Times are changing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it wont be as noticible, but it will be faster, like sneak says the page size will go from 152k to 28k which is a very good optimization |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I like how you casually inserted the information that you had suggested this before. nice. :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i kinda doubt it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
im on broadband.. but it saves the phobzman money too.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i guess now he just needs someone to spend the time and write the code - i couldnt do it, i havent touched code in over a year, my skills are slipping + im not too familar with php |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
its VERY easy to add - really. shouldnt take more than 30 minutes |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
do modern browsers cache javascript includes like they do css includes? i think they do. if so, they could probably put all the javascript into an include to save a little d/l size there too... but, i doubt that'd make much of a difference in page size really, so... OMG WHAT'S THAT!!?!?! <-- *outtie 5k!* |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well if youre going to overhaul one thing to optimize it, you should really try to make the whole system optimized maybe it should be saved for the more stuff coming soon people version |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It will essentially the same code server side as you would use client side. The only difference is that the because the list is populated and sent from the server the file size is vastly increased. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
good idea, well have quicker loading pages in octvember 2013 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It shouldn't take more than 2 minutes. |
