This site displays slowly here,
especially the BBS pages: I guess it
comes from a small problem in the HTML
table code:
The second (content) cell in the second
row has the "width" attribute set to
"100%", but there are two other columns
so this cannot be correct.
So browsers (Firefox at least) use all
the remaining width to display the
second cell, which contains the main
content: that takes a while. Then
browsers try to display the third cell:
oops, there is no more horizontal room,
so they reserve space for the third
column, *redisplay* the second column
(remember this takes a while...) and
finally display the third column.
At least it flickers (boo, less than 1
VBL ;P...) and at most it is much slower
to display (imagine that on CAB, eek!).
I think it can be fixed:
Please could someone from DHS:
- remove the broken attribute
- [it is also wrong on line 1, column
2 in the same table but it does no
harm as it is on the last column]
- add this at the start of the table:
<col width="160">
<col>
<col width="160">
- [perhaps leave column widths on "td"
elements for browsers that do not
support the "col" element]
Sorry, a bit off-topic but I buggered me
too much!

What's the anti-troll code?
That's your personal code to be able to add comments and messages on the dhs.nu site.
Don't have a code or forgot it? Fix it here.
