Journal jlechem's Journal: New Slash Layout 1
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.
It's IE (Score:3, Interesting)
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.
