Much better

The bug I pointed out quite some time ago in this thread was never fixed either.

I noticed the 'new' buttons on the thread lists.

Found them very annoying, I ususally look to see if the thread title is bold to tell if there are any new posts.

Infact, I wrote a GreaseMonkey script just to get rid of them

AJAX is not a programming language, scripting language or any other sort of language.
It is acheived by using JavaScript http functions.
So, AJAX = JavaScript.

Yeah i dont much like them either. People who have been here a while know what the buttons are for. As well the newbies probably arent going to need those buttons anyway.. i doubt they will be posting in many different threads all over the place anyway.

And they are getting really conspicuous.

Make it idiot proof and someone will make a better idiot.

Don't like 'em either. I've used the arrow-thing for years and was quite content with it.
Also, the new reputation-pop-up is cluttered with information that :
- a regular doesn't care about.
- a newbie doesn't understand.

and last but not least: it appears that all the new improvements (...) caused DW to run 3-4 as slow as it did before (and it wasn't very fast to start with). It's getting worse and worse. I haven't been active in the C++ forum for a week now, because it takes me 15 seconds to load a thread.

I agree. I think maximizing speed should be a top priority. No offense, but Daniweb has been running very slowly recently. And as niek_e pointed out, it does turn people away from reading multiple threads. There's just not enough time in the day to sit through all those long loading screens.

I think its related to the problems thay we have been having with the database and the virtual hosting.

If i am helpful, please give me reputation points.

That problem has been here for what? 1-2 months?
Frankly I'm getting tired of waiting for threads to load.

from pressing the post-button, to actually seeing my posted message took >20 seconds this time...

Seems like not many people like the "new" button. The only thing I don't like about the "new" button on each thread is how it stands out so much. If it were kinda faded with the background a bit then that would be a lot better as IMO the "new" button stands out more than the topic title and that's bad.

Try not to bump 10 year old threads as it can be really annoying.

I haven't had any problems today, but yesterday morning was pretty slow.

Don't PM me with questions -- you might get a nasty PM in response. If you have a question then post it in one of the forums.
