Hugh Mughnus Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Are you on a specific page? there are certain types of gifs that slow down any computer regardless of their performance. I've got 32gb ram, 2 gtx690 video cards, etcetecetcetc and they still slow down my computer lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lala Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 even this page is clunky :/ gearslutz has a 20-30 fps smoothness in its scrolling and watmm has about 3-5 fps smoothness :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Mughnus Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Hmm, that I don't quite understand. There's no reason for that. Hopefully someone can chime in with some actual knowledge =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tec Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 There was a page in the funny pictures thread that killed mine but usually it's all good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YangYing Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 yeah, same. I think is the new gif formats + chrome that don't really mix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Atom Dowry Firth Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 It's Chrome and gifv compatibility I think (although it only seems to be embedded gifvs because opening them in a new tab of their own seems to be fine). No more cute pictures thread for me until Google sort their shit out :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lala Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 Like I said, greyblue theme is ok, just not Brown syro theme - maybe try that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbpete Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Aye I've definitely had performance issues with any of the pictured themes (tomorrow's harvest etc.) so have always stuck with the classic theme. Stopped the annoying flashing every time it'd load another page too (a brief frame or two where the background seemed to have to reload again) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenton Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 think joyrex set it up so images only load when you scroll down rather than preloading / caching in theory it would make page loads quicker but instead it means i have to fucking scroll down to look at photos which slows my browser down or summin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyrex Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I think it's skin-related more than anything else - both the Tomorrow's Harvest and SYRO skins use a fixed background image which is known to cause choppy scrolling on some browsers.

Guest Atom Dowry Firth Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Changing skin was the first thing I did, doesn't solve the issue for me. It's not just on WATMM either it's elsewhere too. It's gifvs and Chrome. Fuck gifvs. Even if I do a Google image search for 'gifv' and expand an image so it starts playing while it's still embedded in the image search page everything grinds to a halt. Open the image in it's own tab without it being embedded and it's fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melancholera Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Yeah it's the gifv files with chrome. There were 2 or 3 pages in the Funny Pictures thread that almost would not load at all. Felt like I was in 1998 again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
