    I've spotted another difference since the move that is just a minor nuisance.

    In the drop down menu under my name, the right hand column used to have a menu item called 'watched threads' - which is no longer there. This was quite handy because some of the screens don't have that option in the header e.g. when in Conversations. Thus resulting in having to go a longer way round - it's actually quicker to re-log into GC!

    Here's my guess. The site uses lots of AJAX. I wonder how many requests go out per user per second. Browsers limit the number of concurrent requests, and start queuing them after you hit that limit. Older IE limited it to 2. I think with Chrome its 8.

    Another idea that crosses my mind is that this edit box isn't a textarea (that would be primitive in this day and age), it is a content editable div. That means every key press forces a redraw. IE is notoriously slow at that.

    A final thought would be if the server is queuing incoming requests. This is not the same as running out of resources, but it is common to limit concurrent connections to mitigate against a DDOS attack.

    Woo, I think that is something to do with donating to the upkeep of this website. Was it on the front page where the donations part is? I never go to the front page but had a look at it just now and that area has gone blank on my screen.

      One sentence is about as much as I can type before it crashes!

      As it's only happening to you here, it could be your computer has some malware that's not liking the editor.

      I can't replicate it.

      have you ran a virus scan?

      I know I can get back by going to Forum and then I have to click Watched Threads but it's quicker to just go to my favourites and reload Watched Threads. :blue thumb:

      Before the changeover Watched Threads was in the dropdown menu of my name.

      It's not a problem, it's just a matter of getting out of the habits that were used before. It just seems silly that it's quicker to reload GC from Favourites than to use GC itself. :)

        Why is it only doing it on this forum on nothing else. I belong to several other forums and they are ok.
