Forum and Performance Updates

Original post by Chris Carpita, Jan 11, 2012.

Just a heads up: we've recently rolled out a new release, which was primarily aimed at speeding up the site. Since the web server is a bit swamped now, you might not notice the change for a few hours.

Since we were consolidating a lot of redundant code, we changed the Forum editor to be consistent with the one in Publisher. This means that the process for posting replies has changed a little bit. Instead of posting once, then confirming, you'll have the opportunity to save a draft multiple times before you publish a response. This means if you're writing a really long response, and the power goes out, or the browser redirects for no reason (I really hope that's not happening!), your forum reply will be safe and sound on Snooth's servers, ready for you to finish when you come back.

I know the changes might be a bit jarring, but I'm hoping that the benefits will outweigh the temporary loss of familiarity. As always, feedback is welcome!
