*Gumming Up My Computer*

[chesswarsnow]

Sorry bout that,


1. But the new *tool bar* is slowly the hell outa my computer.
2. Always popping up, while putting on hold whatever I am clicking on.
3. Happens all the time, is really bad Jimbo.
4. Might want to dump it, seeing I am always on the cutting edge of this knida stuff!:laugh2:
5. No matter what I try to do, I cant do much if anything, till that *tool bar* gets itself installed down there first.

It was just a simple javascript code and shouldn't have slowed down any up to date computer. Mine ran the same with or without the code. An outdated processor or outdated browser can cause slowdowns with javascript codes.

The only thing already here that was on the toolbar was the recent posts and donate button, the rest was new... (live popup notifications, sharing via many avenues, who's online map, scroll up button, arcade, facebook "like", RSS subscriptions, photo gallery, connect to Facebook fan page, navigation links, translator, project board...

I removed it though as it's of no use if it's going to slow down older computers or those without updated browsers. I should have tested on my older computer as well before going live. Sorry!

All tool bars are useless. Most direct advertisers, spammers and viruses to your computers. You are better off without one.

This was not a browser toolbar but rather a site toolbar only showing at the bottom of the screen when coming to this site only. No spam and no viruses. I checked the code myself, the only thing intrusive about it at all was a linkback to the designer, which I could have removed if I wanted to break their TOS.

Fine if you like those types of things. I am better off without them.

I could see the toolbar at work but it never really effected anything.

At home, between ABP and NoScript, I don't see it

Weird the comments here. No problem with mine, it showed on the bottom. I'd love if it 'floated' new posts, but alas. Sorry it's gone already.

[BoogyMan]

It worked just fine on my system as well. :)

[MtnBiker]

It worked just fine on my computers as well.

Perhaps in time Jim will continue to implement new tools and great stuff for us use on the board.

I'd love to see the thumbs up or down that is available on other boards I frequent. On one it gives positive rep, of a set amount, (not like my pos rep), but there's not a limit of spreading it around.

I like the thumbs down, as no negs are given, just the opinion of the person giving the comment.
