Ah !! but Bob, Mr Moderator Sir  Would you banish me to the bowels of the world as we know it, should I inadvertently do damage to this WHOLE board as has been intimated on Web User, if any of my images contribute to this forum "hanging" for 30 to 40 seconds before a post appears on the thread  ? I tremble as I await your reply  Please be aware that my future on the Internet depends upon your reply. You hold my entire being in your hands. Please be gentle with me  Merry Christmas xxxxxxxxxxx G. |

They do say that if you don't leave it alone it makes you go blind. G. |

Hmmm, I might be barking up the wrong tree here, but can I suggest that 'G' asks at that other place if those folks that are having problems viewing piccies are using the new FF (57) The reason I ask, is 'cos I have noticed that I also have a problem with pics and vids on some sites since updating FF. However, if I use Chrome on the same websites I have no problems at all! Oh....the shame, my beloved FF, what have they done?  |

However, if I use Chrome on the same websites I have no problems at all! Oh....the shame, my beloved FF, what have they done? Rats, The "hanging" problem on WU has nothing to do with FF or any other browser, and nothing to do with viewing pics. You have to wait almost 40 seconds for a post to appear and it all started in November. The have been given suggestions to fix the problem, here ............... if you're really interested, forum.webuser.co.uk/showthread.php?t=150821They are clutching at straws with the picture thing. I've spit the dummy somewhat because it was suggested that my images were causing the trouble. It's my daily ritual to post a picture linked to the Breast Cancer site. We have to wait for the big Cheese to return from his festive break to continue attempting a fix. Apparently he's in the process of deleting hundreds of old threads in an attempt to unclog the arteries. Unfortunately I've never been one of the forum elite, my face doesn't fit, and I don't make hundreds of inane (only a few) posts to boost my street cred. I've even been sanctioned for my jokes.  Apparently they weren't suitable for the little darlings they think populate the forums, and I also offended the Scots.  What do you think ? An Englishman, Irishman and Scotsman went for a round of golf and their wives went along as caddies. While walking around the course the English man`s wife caught her foot in a rabbit hole, tripped up, and landed in a heap on the ground. Her skirt was over her head revealing that she wasn`t wearing any knickers! The Englishman stormed over and angrily demanded a reason for her state of undress. “Well darling, ” she explained, “you give me so little allowance that I have to make the odd sacrifice. Usually no one notices. ” The Englishman thrusts his hand into his pocket and said, “Here`s ten pounds. Go to Mark`s and Spencer`s and get some knickers. ” Two holes further along the Irish Man`s wife caught her foot on a molehill, tripped up and landed in a heap on the ground. Again her skirt was up over her head revealing that she wasn`t wearing any knickers either! The Irish man was livid and he angrily demanded a reason for her lack of undergarments. “Well darling, ” she explained, “you give me so little allowance I cannot afford to buy undergarments. ” With that the Irish man thrust his hand into his pocket and said, “Here`s five pounds. Go to Woolworth`s and get some knickers. ” Three holes further on, the Scottish man`s wife caught her foot on an exposed root, tripped up and landed with her skirt over her head revealing that even she wore no knickers! Her explanation to her irate husband was the same as the others. Simply a lack of allowance. The Scottish man thrust his hand into his pocket and said, “Here`s a comb. The least you can do is tidy yourself up a bit. ” As my mate Spit was one of the members who objected I requested the joke be deleted. I survive to post another day.  G. |

Pfft...when I posted on there 'G' I had to wait almost 40 seconds for my posts to disappear.  As for offending the Scots, well I rather agree with what PG Wodehouse said about them. "It is never difficult to distinguish between a Scotsman with a grievance and a ray of sunshine." Anyway, here at the Squatters, we are fair minded, we cheerfully manage offend everyone without fear or favour. Ratae the offensive.  |

At the risk of chucking a hand grenade into the mix.
It seems the that forum in question is frequented by "snowflakes".
Long live free expression.

Yea JJ, I was aware that I could roll back the update but I keep hoping that they will fix the problem with an update. Meanwhile I'm mostly using Chrome. To be fair, I do like Chrome and I've been using it on my Linux machine for yonks, my Android tablet too! Anyway, with the new UI on FF it's hard to tell the difference twixt Chrome and FF, it's just that FF has always been so easy to customise. My lappy is still using the old FF. I'll wait and see what happens but this Chrome browser is really 'growing on me'. |
