GenVibe - Community for Pontiac Vibe Enthusiasts

I have successfully snuck my Vibe into our corporate website. Check it out http://www.kingsfamily.com/loc....htmlIt does make it a little easier that I build and maintain the website.

Ha ha, that's great! BTW, your site is slow as %^&@!

What connection are you viewing it over? Our connection out is a little slow.

Don't know, it's here at work for the Navy, so pretty fast whatever it is. As fast or faster than a cable connection.

site is slow for me too...but it came up eventually.you don't need to answer this, but are you handicapped or just parking illigally?

Neither, The location isn't open yet and I had a TON of equipment to unload, so I just parked there.BTW, if you get an error on the page when clicking on the links, it's fixed, I have to wait for our site to update. The page with the picture will come up though.

very nice. it's pretty slow for me too.

LOL! That's pretty sneaky of you. The Vibe looks great out there!

DAAAMn that's slow! But nice publicity stunt!

Hey Senor Poopy: You may want to scale the images down a tad, I do believe that's where the sluggishness is coming from... Looks like they're 1600x1200 resolution, ~300K each... Scale 'em down, that'll fix it... mmm hmm...

lol nice...I had no problems with your site. I have just regular cable and a 6 year old computer and it came up in about 3 seconds.

Yep...that's it. The rest of the site loads quick. If you have Photoshop or Photoshop Elements, try using the "save for web" feature and reduce the size and image quality, rather than using full quality images and reducing them in size with HTML tags. It won't make a difference in how it's viewed, but it will make a drastic difference in load time.

(removed), you may not be so cheap, maybe just wise My cable runs SLOWER then my dial up at times. The other day it took the computer 4 minutes to load http://www.amctheaters.com !

on my 5 mbit connection it took 6 seconds to load amctheaters.com

I'll have to scale them down a bit. I did already scale them down some. One of the problems is our upload speed. We have our IIS server uploading on a standard household cable modem. We are too cheap to use a business line with a faster upload. I'll do it but not now, monday morning is always busy and I am the only one here.

The quality reduction in Photoshop makes a drastic difference and would really help a lot. You can probably get the pix down to about 20KB apiece, then the upload speed won't matter as much.

Yeah, I will do this today or tomorrow. I'm just all alone here in the IT dept today so I am the first last and only line of defense.

OK, we should be better as soon as the firewall updates the cache file, I think the biggest was 64k

must be behind the red X's

Yep, my boss (idiot) decided he wanted to rearrange things and now it doesn't work. I was out on the road today and didn't have a chance to fix it, hopefully thursday I can fix it.
