Why? Well a web browser needs to load the ENTIRE table before it can display anything inside it.

So instead of getting to read the page content progressivley as it loads, you're looking at a blank page till the entire page loads. In threads as long as "Freedom of Speech", on a forum that doesn't break it's threads up into 'pages', this can be really annoying.

It's a web page tip.
Each post should be an individual table.

Actually it may well be quite a while, especially with the added load of avatars. And 30 seconds may not sound like much on paper, but in terms of loading a forum page it's an eternity and a half.

it depends on the browser you use. netscape loads it row by row.

things to do:
1) get netscape
2) get broadband
3) quit bitching

Have you noticed the entire site is in a master table, so nothing at all will load until the whole site has loaded?

And here I was thinking tables were furniture...

 
Show me the power child,
I'd like to say,
That I'm down on my knees today,
Gives me the butterflies,
Gives me away,
'Til I'm up on my feet again,
I'm feeling outshined.

Sorry guys, I mistook this forum for one that welcomes "comments about the site".

If this is not the case, then I can understand the spitefull responses, and interpretation of my 2 comments as "bitching".
In which case, I think the forum description should be worded so as not to welcome feedback on the site.

Thanks TigerWorks and Wong Chung Bang, for supporting my observation.

Rycon, I wasn't saying it was broke, just commenting/suggesting. I won't be loosing any sleep over how this site is actually designed. I was just doing what I thought the forum description allowed.

Ashman, for once you said something funny!

Domarius, you just learned something very valueable. Post about ANYTHING except TDC itself.

You could predefine the table with <colgroup> and <col> tags...
