Question

New forums suck

I'm spiked at 99% CPU most of the time on this terrible crap forum--even just from moving the mouse over links.

I didn't complain about all the extra frilly stuff many people seemed to have a problem with, but...poor performance?  That's a deal breaker.

This is why JAVASCRIPT, and "Jive" sucks. This is unusable for me on IE 7... come on now. (???) Only took about 15 minutes to get here and post this...

Here's an idea Adobe: go ahead and create a FLEX forum if you want fancy fancy RIA type functionality and ditch this Ajax/JS hack trash. It's not like you don't have the expertise in Flex here... and it could use the demonstration and publicity.

    I'm not saying the new forum's DON'T suck, but if you're seeing ANY blip in your processor from using the forums, you've got more issues than a cartoony interface...

    i'm just sayin'...

    xp pro 32 sp3, firefox 3,0.8, e6600 core2duo, 2 gig ram.

    One browser that is fast for me on these forums is Google's Chrome (I'm using developer preview). Chrome is very good with Javascript heavy websites. Might not be an option for you quite yet, as the Mac version is under development.

    Performance is fine for me on Mac OS X 10.4.11. Actually I think it's quite snappy, on par with the old forum setup, as far as page load speed, drop downs, hovers, etc.

    Sure, if you're just browsing and reading, the speed is acceptable.

    The moment you want to reply to a post or start a new thread, however, it will take you an eternity, easily five to ten times longer than in the WebX forums.

    It's intolerable.

    John Cornicello and Team:

    We have all been telling you, since we saw the first glimmer of this disaster that it would NOT fly and you refused to listen.

    You have persisted in pigheadedly driving blindly ahead to adopt this appalling new format and the unresponsive Jive personnel and their atrocious software and have consequently landed us all with a SLOW  time and space wasting monster (that you have filled it with juvenility such as avatars and points for correct answers plus your cohort of supporters —all wearing their pompous and un-merited "Community Expert" badges when most of them appear to be "experts" in very little).

    Basically, the people who have buldozed us into this new Format, and drunk the Jiveade, have killed the Forums stone-dead— and I hope that you are pleased with yourselves.

    They can't, they broke the webservice API and now neither the authenticate method of the PermissionService nor the Webservice Security based standard login method from Jive work anymore. Documentation on how to work around it is not available.
