This won't improve loading times. The entire page still has to load, and this mod does not affect that. What it does do is keep the page from appearing to hang when it is "almost" done loading. It appears to hang (in some, not all cases), because the pixel image at the bottom of the page, that calls the cron script doesn't load until the cron script is done running. This mod requests the cron image via JS after the page has been loaded, eliminating the annoying pages that are apparently loaded (visually they are all there), but the loading indicator in the browser says the page is still loading because the cron image is still loading.

hmm, I'm trying to recall if thats ever been noticeable on my board.. if there is hang time maybe half a second to a second max to a point it may not be noticeable.. not sure what I should be looking for :) .. the only hangtime I notice is loading after $navbar .. but thats just because I have a larger board..

Good lord man! This has solved an issue I have been having with my board for some time. Where in the hell do I send your Christmas Card too?

whats that?.. please do share.. :)

I have been having the page load and then hang for what seemed like 5 seconds. Had members complain that it took upwards of 5 seconds or more at times to load. I have been IMing a few of them and they all say it is loading faster although one person says I have a ton of shit html which could also be an issue. So as far as the load hang goes... the usual complainees seem to think it is working better since the install.

I agree! Thanx so much to the Author of this fine modification ;)

Jacquii.

Maybe I should try .. see if it makes any difference.. I don't think it will.. but wont hurt

I tried it.. didn't see any noticeable differences.. in both FF and IE

Installed this today. Seems cool. I noticed one minor glitch (nitpicking really). If I look in the plugins manager the drop-down box and "Go" button are oriented funny. Is this an issue anyone else is seeing?

Thanks,

This is a godsend, seriously. I always hated that delay, it was annoying as ever.... And now... Thank you!!
