Menu and Performance

Hi all,

I have had a few issues reported latley that some browsers have been rendering the site slower since we implemented the new menu.
Mac Users
Specifically all MAC platforms using IEwere having very bad system performance. For all MAC users I have changed the system menus to call a new Layout which has no dynamic menus in it at all - you do not need to do anything because your browsers will already be loading the new layout.
If you are a MAC user and the system speed was not a problem in the dynamic menu layout please send me feedback and tell me that it was OK with the dynamic menu.

All Users
I have not had any issues reported generally in the last few days. Understand that I have been refining the site and forum code significantly this week. If you wish to try the MAC layout or you are a MAC user and want to compare the difference in speed then you can change the layout by selecting Forum view NON Dynamic and come back using Forum view Dynamic. This setting will be lost when you leave ExplorOz and come back later. Please send me feedback with your thoughts on the difference between the two.

NOTE: The MAC NON Dynamic menu is not as good for navigating to content pages as the new dynamic menu which gives you all of the content available in one go and the NON Dynamic system will mean that you need to navigate down the levels of the site to find the information you require.

Of course we will take into account all of the feedback we get and make a decision about the future of the menu system and site navigation based on what you tell us. Note - there is no other performance issue, other than the coding of the menu so I have to get it right.Regards
