All right, I'm wondering if anyone here can provide some Crispy Technical Support™. I've got a user who's having issues with site lag when they login, in particular being re-directed to RPG Watch (which I assume is an issue related to jquery looking for "rpg" their browser history, failing to load rpgcodex and so defaulting to the next most relevant link). Here's the run-down:
Serious suggestions only please!
The forums seems to load very slowly and once in awhile I get a redirect to RPGWatch. What did I do wrong?
We have had a few issues lately with the server.
Oh ok. I'll just wait patiently then. Wasn't sure if I unlocked a new feature in addition to my new tags.
Looks like I'm still having lag. What's interesting is when I browse without logging in I can see stuff just fine, but logging in lags horribly and the various pop-up apps like the alerts tab load slowly as well.
It might be a JavaScript error. Are you using the latest version?
You mean Javascript? I've never seen a download for javascript. If you mean Java or my Chrome Browser, I double checked both and I am using the most up to date versions.
I haven't tried browsing the site with Firefox recently and I have not had this kind of issue on any other site using Chrome.
It's called jQuery. Try downloading the compressed production version 1.11.1.
Ok, I downloaded it. What do I do with it now? Just put it in the google folder or something?
Try "or something" and let me know how it worked out.
I have no idea what that something is. Isn't jquery for your end and not mine?
Usually. But jQuery can use a local copy and it's likely that if you're having issues when you login, then all the FANCY XENFORO FOSHIZZLE is lagging yer shit down. Hence local copy = no loading of the remote jQuery = faster site.
At least, that's my current working theory.
Xenoforo is shit.
Alright, do you know either how to make jquery use my local copy
OR
do you know of a link/site that can tell me how? I did some research for client side and I kept finding information for dev/host side.
OR
Is there some other browser besides Chrome that has jQuery built into it? (I'll try looking to see if Chrome has a plugin)
Hmmm... I've only ever installed it on a dev server, gonna have to go to Site Feedback for this one.
Serious suggestions only please!
