[X] My Assistant

I had been noticing that while it has been working just fine for every other website I visit, Internet Explorer was really bogging down on any Invision Board site -- most specifically, UMSF. It was taking a good 30 seconds to move from one page to another. I'm certain it's an issue with IE on my own machine, since I can access UMSF nice and fast on other machines.

So, when I went out to download the latest Google Earth update (complete with 3D Mars!), I found the GE update link also included an option to dl Google Chrome. So, I downloaded it.

This thing just rips through UMSF! Very fast page-turns. Looks just fine and nothing I've run across here yet has failed to load.

So, while I still use IE for most of my browsing, I'm now using Google Chrome exclusively for UMSF.

Wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience?

I'm in the process of planning our move to a newer release of IP.Board that will provide quite a few usability benefits along with proper support for modern devices, specifically Android and iOS browsers.

This isn't going to be a rapid change over as I've just started to prepare for it but if the testing I'm doing at the moment shows no issues then it should be something that you can all expect in the next month or two. It isn't a big job to be honest but it is a major change and if it goes wrong then rolling back could be painful, especially if the issues are subtle so I want to test the upgrade in isolation and then bring up a test copy of the board running under the new code for "user acceptance testing" for a week or two before we do the upgrade for real.

I'm also a fan of Tapatalk and the upgrade will support it at no additional cost to us ( which is a factor ) so I already had that down for evaluation on my own list. With a compatible version of IP.board Tapatalk support is simple to install, unfortunately the board version we're running on isn't support and Tapatalk support have indicated they aren't going to write it so it can only be installed after we upgrade.

Wow that is awesome, thanks!
