Site slowing down - bathtub tom

Has anyone else noticed this?

It can sometimes take a couple of seconds to respond to a mouse click and the top 'drop down' menus have a habit of dropping down when moving the cursor back to 'Back Room'.

I'm using Firefox.

I haven't noticed response getting slower (I use Google Chrome to get on this site) but I have noticed the drop-down menus dropping down too quickly.

I'll wait a couple of days to see if we get any more comments, then I'll pass it on to the developers.

Many thanks.

Working just fine with IE8 and 9, although it requires "Compatibility Mode", so you must be serving all versions of IE as if they were IE6 (how nasty!).

Oddly enough and contrary to advice often given, I find that out of the browsers I have at my disposal (FF, Chrome and IE) this site actually works more reliably in IE than any of the others....go figure. I suspect the use of one of the more corporate-focussed[1] authoring tools that's very IE6 friendly at the root of this weird behaviour.

Chrome runs a close second and is significantly faster on page load as well. I think that's a reflection on the amount of "Twit button" and advert scripting going on and IE's sclerotic jscript engine. I believe that one of the major changes in IE10 is to address this limitation.

[1] 'Cos most corp Intranets and desktops are stll IE6 based. Yuck.

Many thanks, TC - any tips as to what Compatibility Mode is or how to get into it?

I havent used the new IE but on the old one im sure compatability view was a button just to the right of the URL field.

Spot on. On both 8 and 9 it's the one that looks like a broken page (hah!) to the right of the URL bar.

Time will tell what 10 has to offer here.
