Question Drop down menu?

That was located bottom right hand side to negotiate around SN. Seems to have gone AWOL or am I just having a bad day??

Webbie says it's been removed as a performance tweak / test. I've told him it's a PITA without it too.

Tell him it slows down my performance on SN.

(Unless he's been advised to do this by my paymasters )

Tell webbie to spend money on uprating server(s), clearing out the database, killing off the muppet forum or other things that might speed it up, rather than turning off half decent features.

Shock horror! revenue generation ads slow down the forum? One would never have guessed that turning them off might help.

** edit ** seems the adds are still there in a way, seems they might now be a footer to the page, rather than part of the thread generation code, which would slow things down.

Guys

Apologies for all the changes.. we are just experimenting to try to optimise everything. They are unrelated to the ads which have been on the site for a long time, and in no way affect performance.

Hope you're bare with us for a bit while we try to get everything sorted out.
