Styles issues

[Michael Morris]

Michael, people reporting slow response time - and I'm experiencing that as well - is NOT a personal attack on you. It's not a reflection on the impressive work you've been doing, and I don't think the hostility is warranted or appropriate.

Folks, our apologies for the slow performance. We've had some trouble with a corrupted database, although that's not the only issue. As soon as we know and have it fixed, we'll let YOU know.

I am getting touchy and defensive - for that I'll apologize. If you had a look at some of the rather abusive emails I've been sent over this you'd get an idea of why my mood is so foul right now.

Another reason is that I'm being villainized here. Yet I know I did nothing that could cause this slowdown. The problem is caused by something that's not even visible in the final rendering - one of the databasing programs is using a bad table structure in the database and MySQL is tripping out. TH knows the specifics, but he's having trouble tracking it down and removing it.

Meanwhile the script I put in at the same time is visible and therefore being blamed for problems it didn't cause in addition to the ones that are it's fault (which I'm working to correct).

Two problems - one major but invisible, and one minor but quite visible. I think I've fixed the rendering problem on the styles, but I dare not reactivate the things until the other problem is fixed.

The slow down ended for me when I was able to go to the "Classic" style in my User CP while logged in and while logged out once the default was returned to the "Classic" style, so no more problems on my end. I have every confidence that Double-M will figure out what was up and get it straightened out some time in the near future.

Nobody's villanizing you in this thread, at least. I don't think you should use private e-mails as an excuse to get snarky on the message boards with completely unrelated people.

For that matter, you're in a "foul mood" and are "touchy and defensive" (to use your own terms from your own post) quite frequently. Might I suggest that if you want to take on a "public" role in a community of several thousand people, that you work on developing a thicker skin?
