Some one PMed me that the "Note From Basil" message (in the Bits and Bytes box on the right) was scrolling very slow for them. They said it took 30 seconds for a line to scroll from the bottom to the top. For me it takes about 7 seconds for a line of text to scroll bottom to top. I was wondering what its like for others?
 
Mine does that if something is updating in my computer. We have McAfee and it updates when it wants so everything slows down until it's done. Sounds like a computer problem not a BCF problem.
 
It takes about 45 seconds to load on mine, and the timing from the first appearance of a text line to its disappearance is 12 seconds.

Thanks - it's the latter number I care about. Sounds a little slower than mine, but it does sound like its computer dependant.
 
Okay, I'm not a computer guru. I don't know how to set my browser to accept Java, which I do have. Help, Maybe?
 
About 14 sec here on my decrepit Win 98 hardly any ram 2,800 cpu. {comcast cable}
The initial picture loads almost instantly.
 
It's about 7 seconds here too. A little too fast a scroll for my non Evelyn Wood brain. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif
 
and my laptop does the line of text from bottom to top in:

- 88 seconds on Safari (using 100% cpu resources)

- 56 seconds on Firefox (using 95% cpu resources)

No other apps running. No browser filters installed.

(wonder why I hardly ever read to the bottom of the scroll ...)

I'm guessing you may not have the latest Java installed and/or it is misconfigured. (Or you just have a 1980's computer). Both the scrolling text and the snow flakes use Java Script.
