TBN Performance Issues

Can you guys test this new style and tell me if the problem persists? Please keep in mind that the new style will only work on certain forums. New style:

Ultimately, our solution is to transition to a new design which has cleaned up a lot of issues. However, we have had this project on the back burner for about a year due to back end technology updates that took priority.

Since it was only recently that these reports started coming in about the half page issue, I am thinking it has something to do with the ads that are being displayed through ad networks that we sell inventory to.

So far I like this new style, it's very clean looking. It always seemed that the problem occurred when ads were trying to load on the side of the page. Now they are loading without a problem.

Only issue I have had is that I am not being taken to the place where I left off in a thread. I am being taken back to page one.

You have to click on the round icon to the left of the thread (

)
Speaking of which:
Muhammad, can that icon be made a little bigger to make it easier to click on?

Thanks

Never had to before. It seems to go to the first unread post on its own in some cases, but not on every thread. For instance, I just looked at a thread on the Front Porch and it took me to the first unread post without a problem. When I came back to this thread it took me to page one again.

edit to add that I may have hit that icon on the other thread and not on this one, but I honestly never have had to use that icon before.

The previous skin was hacked to force you to go to the first unread message when you clicked on the thread title. The new one is setup like almost every other forum out there to take you to the first post by default, or to the first unread post if you click on the round icon.

OK, I get it now, thanks!

Something new to get used to, but I still like the new format.

Oops, just got a half page while reading a thread in Rural Living.

Thanks Muhammad for finally getting back to us. I tried the new style......same problem exists. The jumping problem is very severe and annoying. Half page loading continues to be an issue. Hope you can resolve.

The Front Porch Forum is one of the ones not on the "New Style".

The "First Unread Message" icon is not on the "Old Style".

Rural Living is not using the new template (note the difference in color/look between http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/rural-living/ and http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/related-topics/ ) so the new template may still fix it.
