yup, this is an ad!
Blog

Page's 'sticking' while loading...

  • March 4, 2008 - 6:23am

Blog Code
  • Mood: Tad aggrevated
  • Watching: Pageload Stats
  • Listening: DI.fm Vocal Trance
  • Reading: Second Foundation
  • Drinking: Coffee
  • Eating: Nothing

I am sure most of you have started noticing that on any page's where there is an ad, it will many times 'stick' when it gets to the ad for a second or two (or three), before it continues to load the page.

I know this is annoying, and we have tracked it down to one of our partner's ad servers. I have contacted them, and we are working on a solution. If it is not something that we can fix soon, I will most likely be pulling the partner's ad code completely until they can resolve it on their in.

I just wanted you to know that we are aware there is a problem, and working on it as fast as possible.

Thanks!

      Did the misplaced ' cause you to not understand the title of the blog?

      I would hate to not communicate what I am talking about. That would be simply just tragic.

        Of course you don't have ads. You are a subscriber. :)

    Hmm. There's a pause when a page loads?

    Really?

    Can't say I've noticed.

    Wonder why that is....

    I haven't noticed, though that's probably because I have the ad-blocker add on for Firefox.

      Ah ok.

      Just so you know, ad blockers really hurt sites like this.

        Oh great... now you've got me torn! I really want to be supportive of this site, but at the same time, I really don't want to be supportive of being the 1 millionth visitor and having the chance to win a free, pink iPod Nano.

        So, upon inspection of my settings, it seems I have everything allowed for Napalm Riot here. So, you're good. Haha...

          Well thank you, although we are striving not to have any pink ipod ads running. You haven't seen any google ads yet have you? :)

            Have I seen any Google ads? Is it a bad or good thing if I do? haha


            Oh, and also, who is it we're supposed to send titles of games missing from the database? I'd like to show I'm playing God of War: Chains Of Olympus, Army Of Two, and PixelJunk Monsters, but none of them seem to be there. Maybe you guys haven't added them because they're so new?
            I think it would be cool if you guys added future/not-yet-released games to them, and then maybe had like a "Wish List" or "I Want To Play" check-box option. And/or maybe an entirely separate, third profile box, to accompany both the "Currently Playing" and "Favorites" ones. I dunno, just some suggestions.

            Also, is there any way to recommend replacing poor cover art on some entries? God Of War II, for example, has what appears to be simple fan-made cover art.
