McLSNever had this before, but since now one month, whenever I go on NS after the login page (so once i'm on the homepage) it loads for 1 or 2 mins (with the grey bar) and during that time none of the buttons (forums, photos...etc) are clickable. I've reinstalled safari, no change so I thought I'd tell you about it. It only happens on safari, firefox is fine.

ps: just as I clicked to post this thread I got the "you do not have permission to post to this forum". I get this very often too whenever I post a thread and less often but still a few times when I just post in a thread. What's happening?????

iLLbiLLyActually it looks like the issue is just the ridiculous # of stories you guys are loading on the "Metro" section.

The first call to "loadMetroMore()" in metro-beta.js is returning 703 articles!

Whats the point of lazy loading if your load more articles than anyone would every possible look at on first load?

Another issue is that if you start scrolling before the 'loadMetro()' function has had a chance to render anything, it will call 'loadMetro' again (every-time the scroll event fires).

You guys need to block additional calls to load metro. The simplest way to do this would be with a global flag that would be checked and set when before the callout and unset once the content is rendered. If this flag is set, don't call load metro anymore.

nopolesThere is one particular view that is problematic, yes, the "TOP ALL TIME" tab. I'll see if I can lower the threshold for how those articles are fetched, that's way too many for a single load. The load metro functions do have checks to only allow one simultaneous call at a time, but there is a second call to load the right column as you scroll as well. Each will only run one at a time.

The massive number of articles loaded in the TOP ALL TIME view bad, and a side effect of trying to merge content from multiple separate content pools. We're actually in the middle of some changes that will help immensely. They won't be read until later this summer.

nopolesDo you happen to have the sub-nav on the homepage set to "TOP ALL TIME"?

McLSYes! it's always "top all time" by default for me. Does that have anything to do with it?

nopolesThe homepage remembers whatever tab you saw last. Click any other tab, the homepage will load fast, it's just that one tab that is messed up.

I'll deploy a patch tomorrow to fix it, but otherwise you can just pick any other tab.

Mr.BishopThe loading problem should be fixed. Can you confirm?

iLLbiLLyMuch better. Loaded in under a second (vs 10ish before).

McLSYes!!!! works just like it should now! Thank you!
