Journal jlechem's Journal: New Slash Layout 1

Journal by jlechem

Well today I loged onto slashdot to see the new layout and I can't say I'm impressed. I'm using the new IE 7 and its slow. Slow and ugly. Not a good move for slashdot IMO. They're using CSS which is a good thing but for some reason its fubaring the look and feel of the site. It's almost unusable it's so slow. It never used to be like this. I think they need to do some revamping of the UI and quick. As expexted when I run the site in Firefox it looks great and responds ok. I don't know if the new IE just needs some tweaking or if the site's CSS needs tweaking. Regardless I needed a reason to redownload firefox.

    If the site loads quickly in other browsers but not IE, then it's IE.

    However, since IE7 is still in beta there could be some coding issues which need to be worked out which are causing the slowness.

    As a rule I've found Firefox to load all sites much more quickly than IE. Then again, I only use IE if I absolutely have to. Which is pretty much never.
