Good old days...

    • These days I had a lot of work to be done on some gantry templates.. It is really annoying for me when I have to setup gantry template... I don't know what is the problem but every time when I press apply it blocks my browser for 30 and more seconds... I did not browse forum for the solution I just mentioned this because today I work on Moxy and I can tell I was really flying there... I setup few new positions, altered css and php, changing some bakgrounds, uploading content... I feel I was alive again :)

      On the other side gantry is getting better and better, with more features and less bugs, but If you ask me I still love those good old rocket days...

      How about you?

    • If you are using IE, try another browser, FF3, Chrome, etc.

    • On the back end the Gantry framework runs a lot of scripts to control all the options that are available.

      IE seems to choke on these, while other browsers run just fine.

      (On occasion, I get a script error in FF, but clicking on continue allows me to keep working, but out of the 100s of times I've accessed the back end in FF, I would have to say it's happened less than half a dozen times.)

      Basically when working on the back end we suggest using any browser besides IE.

      On the front end, you shouldn't have any problems with any browser.

      If you are experiencing slow performance on the front end as well (compared to the demo), please provide a link to the site(s) in question in this thread so we can take a look.

      We may be able to advise you on how to speed things up.

    • I have only that 'freezing' thing going on within gantry theme setup, front end is good and I don't have speed problems there...

    • hi there,

      i find that chrome and opera are faster in the backend than firefox.
      maybe you could try one of those.

      anyway, the developers know about the issue and working on a solution for this which will also have a lot of other improvements at the same time.

    • I'm trying FF 4 beta, and it's now as fast as Chrome. So, soon we will have the speed of Chrome, with the add-ons of FF. :)

      As we ask our browsers to do more and more, and our servers and websites to do more and more, we are bound to have issues. Step back a few years and think about our limitations at the time (we didn't even know we were limited), and now all of the features we 'expect'.
