Slow scrolling on forums only in Firefox 3

Hangin' Around Joined: Nov 04, 2007 Posts: 34

Hi all,

Been struggling for a few days now with this problem. Can't find the solution here also.

I updated my site to latest ravennuke and now try to setup a new theme for it. Not a default theme that comes with ravennuke.
Everything seems to work quit fine. Except for the forums pages in Firefox.
When I go to the forums main page (forum index page) and all the index pages of the subcategories the pages scroll very slow and stuttering with Firefox 3.

The pages where you read the posts are fine. So only the main index page and the sub index pages give this problem and only in FF 3.

IE works fine, Opera works fine and with FireFox 2 it also goes smooth.

Does anybody know of a firefox 3 issue that's causing this?

I assume for the main page this is setup in the index_body.tpl file? But when I open a categorie to visit the index of that category... which template file is used for that one?

Never heard of this one before. Do you have a link we can see a sample of? Do you have some mod installed like maybe a box over script on titles? If so likely your problem is related to that a JS leak of some sorts.

Running a JS indeed. From the bbcode_box mod for phpbb. But on the page where you make your post where the java is used the problem ain't there. It's only on the main forum index page and one level deeper if you click a category.

Here is the content of the javascript from the mod:

Code:

var theSelection = false;





var clientPC = navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase(); // Get client info


var clientVer = parseInt(navigator.appVersion); // Get browser version





var is_ie = ((clientPC.indexOf("msie") != -1) && (clientPC.indexOf("opera") == -1));


var is_nav = ((clientPC.indexOf('mozilla')!=-1) && (clientPC.indexOf('spoofer')==-1)


                && (clientPC.indexOf('compatible') == -1) && (clientPC.indexOf('opera')==-1)


                && (clientPC.indexOf('webtv')==-1) && (clientPC.indexOf('hotjava')==-1));


var is_moz = 0;





var is_win = ((clientPC.indexOf("win")!=-1) || (clientPC.indexOf("16bit") != -1));


var is_mac = (clientPC.indexOf("mac")!=-1);

You are running several JS which are not necessary on indexes could be improved upon by not running when not necessary however I don't believe them to be the problem. I disabled JS and was still choppy then I hid all images and she scrolled smooth so I am figuring firefox 3 is having an issue with your images. I checked file byte sizes for the 51 images displayed on index and they didn't seem all that unreasonable so what I am thinking here is that many of them are being browser resized instead of natively in their output dimensions.

So what I would do if I were you is try to make sure all forum images are in their output size and recompress if possible images even smaller. After all you are using a lot of jpg's were gif or png would be suitable at about 1/4 or less the compression. Then I would also redo the forum tpl files to be xhtml compliant. Run them through the validator and change the TPL code to reflect the validators recommendations

Posted: Mon Jun 22, 2009 2:19 pm

Could indeed be an image issue. Check this link:
[ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ]

What would be the proper location to place that script file? Tried in main root but no luck, in modules/Forums/ no luck.

Or is there a way to set in the template files from the theme to make the background image "non fixed"?

Also just noticed. When you open the page in Internet Explorer and open the "news and announcements" section of the forum .. then for example the post called "test" you see a red cross image appear on top. Like a missing image. Seems to me there should be some button like "quick reply" or so there. That red cross image is only displayed in internet explorer. Firefox doesn't display that Confused

Posted: Mon Jun 22, 2009 2:34 pm

Well I just looked quickly at the page you linked and that says it is a greasemonkey script. Which means you plug it into the firefox extension greasemonkey so that is not your best option.

What I would reccomend is to recode your theme to not use BG images where possible. For instance the page bg is not necessary since it is just one big grey block. Just set a page bg color and don't use the image there. (though this is not the issue image) the issue image is the table row bg images. Find this image (fback.gif) and resize it to about 60 height by 5 width. and resave it. Your forum rows are using the sitees main background image which is 800 x 4000 and resizing it down. Alternatively for even faster loading remove the bg image from forum rows completely and just use a bg color. But it won't be a nice gradient then.

*** EDIT Oh and for the IE issue that is IE having trouble with an image. It quite commonly happens with spacer images. Check spacer image paths and make sure they are correct. if you try to view the image in IE it will tell you what path it is expecting for the image. Make sure the image exists where it is looking.

Please post a link to your site.

almost there Smile

just changed this code:

Code:

/* Main table cell colours and backgrounds */


td.row1   { background-color: #333333; background-image: url(../forums/images/fback.gif); background-repeat: repeat-x; border: 1px #000000 solid;}


td.row2   { background-color: #333333; background-image: url(../forums/images/fback.gif); background-repeat: repeat-x; border: 1px #000000 solid;}


td.row3   { background-color: #333333; background-image: url(../forums/images/fback.gif); background-repeat: repeat-x; border: 1px #000000 solid;}


td.row4   { background-color: #333333; background-image: url(../forums/images/fback.gif); background-repeat: repeat-x; border: 1px #000000 solid;}

to this.. to remove the image, scrolls very smooth now:

Code:

/* Main table cell colours and backgrounds */


td.row1   { background-color: #333333; background-repeat: repeat-x; border: 1px #000000 solid;}


td.row2   { background-color: #333333; background-repeat: repeat-x; border: 1px #000000 solid;}


td.row3   { background-color: #333333; background-repeat: repeat-x; border: 1px #000000 solid;}


td.row4   { background-color: #333333; background-repeat: repeat-x; border: 1px #000000 solid;}

but the only problem now is that when you go over the forum topics with your mouse the color changes to light grey and stays like that. Hope you have a fix for that?

Posted: Mon Jun 22, 2009 3:13 pm

ok it's fixed Smile

resized the image to 16x80 and it works great now. Even with the old code in style.css Smile

Only issue left is that red cross image I mentioned:

themes/yourtheme/images/spacer.gif

Make sure the above exists. If not put a blank 1px by 1px gif in there under that name.

Posted: Mon Jun 22, 2009 4:18 pm

I have it already here:

/themes/Clanswaw/forums/images/spacer.gif

have put it in:

/themes/Clanswaw/images/spacer.gif

aswell. But still the red mark in IE.

Posted: Mon Jun 22, 2009 4:56 pm

This line is showing up next to your post reply button

Code:

 <a href="" target="_blank">


<img border="0" align="middle" alt="" src=""/>


</a>

This line is probably found in your viewtopic_body.tpl under forums for your theme you will find an area like this near top and bottom of that file but yours will have an extra link

Code:

  <tr> 


   <td align="left" valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap"><span class="nav"><a href="{U_POST_NEW_TOPIC}"><img src="{POST_IMG}" border="0" alt="{L_POST_NEW_TOPIC}" align="middle" /></a>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="{U_POST_REPLY_TOPIC}"><img src="{REPLY_IMG}" border="0" alt="{L_POST_REPLY_TOPIC}" align="middle" /></a>&nbsp;</span></td>


   <td align="left" valign="middle" width="100%"><span class="nav">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></td>


  </tr>

Just remove the extra link

Posted: Tue Jun 23, 2009 10:55 am

sorted it by removing this link from the code:

Code:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="{U_PRINTER_TOPIC}"><img src="{PRINTER_IMG}" border="0" alt="{L_PRINTER_TOPIC}" align="middle" /></a>

tnx alot for all your help

Posted: Tue Jun 23, 2009 11:30 am

oohhwww.. just noticed a new issue Sad

When you look between the left blocks and the center blocks a thin black horizontal line is there now. Any idea where to fix this?

Posted: Tue Jun 23, 2009 12:28 pm

I don't see one between left and center but I do see one between right and center. I think this is because of a shadow on your image that is displayed there. You'll need to clean up that image story_home_07.jpg

BTW I noticed a little late now but generally here at Raven their policy is not to support sites without Credits in the footer so I recommend you put at the very least a link back to Raven there. While I am not an official Raven Team member I like to respect their policy practices so please put some credit to Raven in your themes footer.

Posted: Tue Jun 23, 2009 1:04 pm

That's weird I only see it between the left blocks and center one. What exactly do you mean with "cleaning the image up"?

You can see the line on the left very clearly also on the forum page. You see it just left of the center block for the forums.

As for the credits they are supposed to scroll over the footer image. I've seen it working before. Checked under preferences from the theme and the footer boxes are empty now. Don't know what I messed to cause that. But will ofcourse fix that issue.

Posted: Tue Jun 23, 2009 1:24 pm

I see it on the right in forums as well. But what I mean is open the image and repaint the edge the right color as I think it has a black shadow. It could be that column has a border applied via CSS but I didn't see it.
