Mini Mods - Make your forum's speed seem faster

*Staff note: This has an effect in Microsoft Internet Explorer + Firefox*
(but still not tested on others).

Hi,

This is my second modification and I hope you like it.

What it does: It lets your members and your visitors feel that your site or forum is very fast when they access it. It is just like a trick only not really it does speed up your forum.

Version of vB: It works with ALL versions: vB1, vB2, vB3.0.x, vB3.5.x, vB3.6.x, vB3.7.x, vB3.8.x, and any version in future. More than this, you can use it for any simple website. :smoke:

Time to install: ~ 1 sec.

How to install: There are no database changes, additional files, ... etc. But there is only one change in a template.

1. Open the HEADER template.

2. Place the following code at the top of the contents:

<meta http-equiv="Page-Exit" content="BlendTrans(Duration=0)" />
<meta http-equiv="Page-Enter" content="BlendTrans(Duration=0)" />

Note: Otherwise, you can put it at the top of HEADINCLUDE template.

3. Save & Enjoy.

Okay the string does cause validation errors. (I checked an XHTML Markup Validator)

All those errors are refering to is "...this error can create cascading effects" This is more of a warning than a real error, I firmly believe that, but it could cause parsing errors for just a few, but most can safely run this on their forums with no ill effects.

I know you guys are pure coders, and that is awesome. (I wish I had the time, been programming my whole life, off and on, about 30 yrs). I interpret that error "flag" as a warning, and this may be the actual nature of how this hack works. I actually forgot about it for a couple of years!

Ol' Wise One, like I said above, Boofo (and I am acknowledging you, too, Jase2 and djpassion) I still do hear you guys!! You guys deserve a lot of respect. There is so much wrong in a lot of the code we work with in the first place when it comes to XHTML, it takes numerous hours to hunt it all down and fix all of it.

If anyone on my forums complains, I will just pull it back out. I doubt it, but I only make small changes here and there, so I can easily go back and fix any problems that crop up. For now, I am leaving it in, and I am sure it will work fine. Takes just a second to pull it out, anyway.

My final code on this hack to eliminate most (if not all) XHTML validation errors.

<meta http-equiv="page-enter" content="blendTrans(Duration=0.2)"/>
<meta http-equiv="page-exit" content="blendTrans(Duration=0.2)"/>

Some Validators may simply warn you about these statements, and not give you true errors. I am not going to go through a bunch of those code debuggers, anyway, to get to the heart of the problem, if there is one.

Boofo, I wasted an hour screwing around (LOL) and I didn't really want to on this, but that is okay. Sometimes I like to putz around. I actually found a couple of errors I forgot to double-check !

Hang In There, Good Luck and Stay Cool Guys !!

If you add that code to the headinclude templates, the validation errors are gone.
