Been tweaking again, Shaun? (Slow typing in Chrome browser)

[ColinJ]

Hi Shaun.

I normally use the Opera browser to visit the forum on my laptop but I am having to use Firefox to post this. Something went wrong this evening between Opera and CycleChat. The CC tab grinds to a halt and brings my laptop to its knees so I can't do much on the machine until I shut the browser down.

I have closed the browser and restarted it, cleared the CC cookies, cleared the cache, rebooted the laptop. Same result every time. The forum is working fine using Firefox.

I'm a bit baffled. I wondered if you have been tweaking something in the forum software this evening?

A propos of nothing, I tried to upload a piccie of a locomotive last night (Yes, yes, I'm sad). It looked OK in My Docs but it rotated through 90 degrees anti-clockwise on my post.
Grump.

Sounds like this problem!

Nope, not done anything that would affect Opera in that way. Try a CTRL + F5 (or whatever the Opera equivalent is for a forced-refresh) - this sometimes fixes things by grabbing a fresh copy of all the common-use forum files.

Cheers,
Shaun

So you managed to derail a thread?

I've been experiencing the same issues as Colin for days now, but with Chrome. It's like being on dialup on your sites, @Shaun but normal broadband in all the other tabs. There's also a delayed reaction when typing so that the letters appear on screen / the cursor moves / the page scrolls several seconds after I've hit the keys etc.

I am using the Opera Mobile browser on my tablet for this post because the Windows version is unusably slow. The CC tab uses almost all the CPU power of one core whenever I enter any thread. Browsing about the site is fine, but as soon as I enter a thread - BANG!

I have refreshed pages, cleared my cache etc. but have not yet tracked down what is happening. I will keep on looking.

The browser has not been updated recently.

Back on the laptop and using Firefox - no problems!

I confirm that the problem is also happening on the Scitech forum in Opera, and that Chrome is playing up for me too.

Me too on Chrome, OK on Firefox??

Chrome is a problem for me on GreenGardenForum, I have posted in site support there about it. Strange though, it's not a problem on CycleChat unlike the others here. I've just tried good old Windows explorer ( yes I'm sorry) and it works fine.

I've been try to run Opera's debugger to find out where it is getting stuck. Unfortunately, the debugger gets stuck too ...

All working just fine using Chrome Beta on my tablet

I tried it on Chrome on a laptop and it was behaving very strangely.

I'm currently using Opera on Android, no problems.

Same here on chrome, although I tried retro bike and it is even worse than on here, it's probably chrome rather than the site.

Very slow and intermittent on CC on Chrome - no bother with any other sites (but not checked other @Shaun sites).

Weird (and the smilies bar flicks at 1 sec intervals ...)
