Poll Voting Fixed & Note About Faster Page Loading - RF Cafe Forums

RF Cafe Forums closed its virtual doors in late 2012 mainly due to other social media platforms dominating public commenting venues. RF Cafe Forums began sometime around August of 2003 and was quite well-attended for many years. By 2012, Facebook and Twitter were overwhelmingly dominating online personal interaction, and RF Cafe Forums activity dropped off precipitously. Regardless, there are still lots of great posts in the archive that ware worth looking at. Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts. Here is the full original RF Cafe Forums on Archive.org

-- Anecdotes, Gripes, & Humor

Greetings:

First, unregistered voting in the polls has been restored to permit voting without signing in. A software security patch that I installed a couple weeks ago undid my "fix," so I had to fix it again. Please register your important opinion in all the polls.

Second, the page load time has been significantly reduced after replacing the old ASP code for rotating the company logos at the tops of the pages with more efficient JavaScript. Before the change, my broadband connection required almost 5 seconds. Now, it is under 2 seconds. The ASP code had to execute on the server once for evey image, but now the JavaScript takes care of it right from the webpage. I have been looking for replacement code for quite a while, but until now all I found had issues with operating across all browser types.

Thanks for visiting.
