The CSS is slowing down the site
Welcome to Potter’s Army

Welcome to Potter's Army

We have been a Harry Potter Roleplaying site since 2007. If you're an old member we hope you come check out the discord link provided below. And if you're looking for a new roleplaying site, well, we're a little inactive. But every once and a while nostalgia sets in and a few of our alumni members will revisit the old stomping grounds and post together. Remember to stay safe out there. And please feel free to drop a line whenever!

What’s Happening?
Since every few months or so a few of our old members get the inspiration to revisit their old stomping grounds we have decided to keep PA open as a place to revisit old threads and start new ones devoid of any serious overarching plot or setting. Take this time to start any of those really weird threads you never got to make with old friends and make them now! Just remember to come say hello in the chatbox below or in the discord. Links have been provided in the "Comings and Goings" forum as well as the welcome widget above.

Hmmm, although i don't want to change anything on the site, mainly because it's Jemma's work, i mean, come on!

But if it's slowing the site down... how much? Is it a really significant ammount or just a second or two?

Two days ago, I couldn't load a page in less than three hours. That might also have something to do with my connection though, because I'm on wireless. However, I searched the name of the image site because that was where my browser was getting stuck and the second result on google is a thread from the forummotion support forums of people complaining about how their forums have been slowed by it.

I also overrode the forum's default css with my own, and that sped up my loading time to a couple of minutes. I wouldn't have been able to post otherwise. I've skinned forummotion boards before, so I know how their code is. It's really messy, and the messier your code the longer it takes to load.

Well we can't do anything with the CSS sheet unless Jemma magically comes back. She's the only one who understands the coding and stuff. Otherwise if any one of us other admins try it's a 99.99% chance we bugger the site. Also, there's a high chance its your computer/connection. Because the site's been fine for me with the computer I'm on.

But if PA is being slow for anyone else they might've spoken up by now right? Did this just start happening yesterday?

Except that this site is the only one affected, and it doesn't improve when I use my uni's connection.

I also just said I can fix it for you.

It may just be your browser actually. I'm not sure that it's the CSS sheet...plus we shouldn't go messing around with it. Even if you do know how, but I guess Jess'll decide.

I've used firefox and safari and opera.

The only way it loads in time is if I disable the style sheet.

If it makes you feel better, I do have professional qualifications, Matt. Which is more than Jemma does. She's completely self taught (not that there's anything wrong with that, it's how lots of people learn). I can even edit the code in my browser and post it here. You don't need to give me access to anything.

Hmmm, well, forgive me, but i'm going to talk to Jemma first, it's nothing against you, but she's all i know about CSS, so i want her say on this.

So hold on awhile
