    Solved Avacweb seems to be causing forum loading problems

    Post by jkh August 17th 2020, 8:53 pm

    I'm probably posting this in the wrong place again, but I have a member who's reporting problems with the forum loading. The problem isn't happening to me so I don't really know how to explain it, but he says this:

    member wrote:I'm experiencing issues on my desktop (Firefox), but when I use my phone it's fluid. On my desktop, pages take forever to fully load, images/emojis take ages to show (then all show at once). I've often just hit stop loading to get past it and forego images. Tried clearing my cache but it still persists.


    It seems to be something to do with this, which is what the problem was last time: https://www.avacweb.net/like 
    I have no idea what it does, where it is, how to fix it.

    Any help gratefully received.

    Have they tried running a virus scan? Have they tried using a different browser to see if this issue is across multiple browsers?

    Hello yesterday I also had a problem with slow loading on firefox but was ok on Chrome and Edge.

    It soon worked ok after about 15 minuets.
    Today I have had no real problems.

    It could be Firefox them self as i have also seen a slowing on firefox when on a friends site and they are not with FM its hosted by some one else.

    He was referring to a JavaScript that contains this link:  https://www.avacweb.net/like%C2%A0

    If yes, you need to remove it since that like system is not being supported any more.

    No there was a old like system that needed a javaScript to work on the forum's hosted with https://www.avacweb.net this gave a like button that told you who liked the post. this was like a little blue button if i remember right.

    best thing to do is look in your JavaScripts and see if you have any codes for the like system if you do post them here so we can take a look.

    Yes delete that one as that one no longer works on our forums.
    also you may have a CSS file for that you may want to remove that one also Wink

    No that code is not the same one I don't think.

    Just turn it off by removing all the ticks in the boxes

    Yeah, I've just done that and the green thumb is still there - how can it still be there?

    I've done a search for avacweb in my CSS but can't see anything.

    So if it's not that code, then what else could the problem be?

    Trust me just remove the code you posted there is no need for it.

    This code is now not working right and it makes your forum lag as the codes no longer work on our systems.

    The thumbs up could be called Vote button or rep button or something like that


    This is the thumbs up code:
    Code:
    //VOTE BUTTON

    $(function() {
          // General Configuration of the plugin
          var config = {
            position_left : true, // true for left || false for right
            negative_vote :false, // true for negative votes || false for positive only
            vote_bar : false, // display a small bar under the vote buttons
         
            // button config
            icon_plus : '<img src="https://i.servimg.com/u/f68/12/23/10/57/heart110.png" alt="+"/>',
            icon_minus : '<img src="https://i.servimg.com/u/f18/18/21/41/30/minus10.png" alt="-"/>',
         
            // language config
            title_plus : 'Like %{USERNAME}\'s post',
            title_minus : 'Dislike %{USERNAME}\'s post',
         
            title_like_singular : '%{VOTES} person likes %{USERNAME}\'s post',
            title_like_plural : '%{VOTES} people like %{USERNAME}\'s post',

          },

     .LGvote { margin: 0 5px; }
     .LGnovote {
      filter:Alpha(opacity=50);
      opacity: 0.5;
      cursor: default;
      box-shadow: none;
      text-shadow: none;
        width: 80%;
       }

    I have to say that without that other script the forum is loading super quick for me now. I'll see what the forum member thinks.

    Remove the CSS file YES that one is no good anymore.

    As for the thumbs up:
    The thumbs up system is fine there is no need to remove it as this is not giving you problems.
    The thumbs up system is here

    I have looked at your forum and sent you a list of things to remove by PM
    Advice is to keep this "Reputation Improvement" in your JavaScript's code as this is your Thumbs up and all your CSS files are also in that JavaScript so there is no need to look for them in your CSS files Wink

    Please note removing codes is at your own risk this is why we as staff no longer remove the codes without your say so we just advise you of the ones to add or remove.

    Regards ape.

    PS if this is now solved please mark it as solved so we can close it.
    The topic was posted in the wrong section, so I have moved it to the correct section.
