Feedback on beta site: not happy

I'm sad to say, I'm not happy with the new beta forum site.

First of all, I dont like the way it looks/feels. I prefer the old way. Much cleaner looking.

Lastly, and most important: it's much, MUCH slower!!

Your devs are probably viewing on the latest-and-greatest stuff, so not even noticing. But it's horrible on my computer. Pageviews take multiple seconds to render :(

May i suggest you guys get some really old clunky tester to view the site. Or possibly view it through remote desktop, which will also have a slowing effect.

This could be due to the code... or just plain too much code. You're pulling in script from 6 different sites?!?! leagueoflegends googleapis google-analytics googletagmanager cloudflare amazonaws

Since the "old" forums, use 5 out of those 6 sites, logic would suggest that the horrible slowness is due to the addition of the cloudflare code.

Kill it. Kill it with fire :p

Edit: PS: there's no way to edit the subject line of a post either? Boo.

I would think the easiest way would be to just grab a laptop and forum browse at a starbucks somewhere, but I agree, the forums are a bit sluggish in all areas and can run into some decent problems with embeds if it sows up too much.

Just wondering, by "subject line" do you mean the title? You actually can change it within about an hour of creating the post, but it locks after to prevent vote core hijacking (making a FotM post to grab points and then changing the subject to make a facade of support)
