We've also addressed several issues raised in Feedback and Support from our members [emoticon:c4563cd7d5574777a71c318021cbbcc8] we can try to look at a better way of notifying people what's addressed in that regard in future.

RE: November 2019 Site Update

[mention:5573785d986a4cac891a488a60b15235:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05] here are some observations - I noticed this before and after the site update this evening.

I am on a mac - (I can check windows tomorrow).

1. On the Christmas Badges (thank you for them btw) ... I noticed this..

[View:/resized-image/__size/238x347/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-0d91fd59-47ab-4468-8d76-3b4ae6f20d56/contentimage_5F00_205221.png:238:347][View:/resized-image/__size/239x332/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-0d91fd59-47ab-4468-8d76-3b4ae6f20d56/contentimage_5F00_205222.png:239:332]

So while it indicates as being complete - the attributes are not shown as being completed.

This then also makes the badge show up in the incomplete list (even though it is marked as being completed) - Sorted by "Show Unearned Missions First".

2. I also noticed a typographical error (not a coding error) on the Pi Expert I Badge...

It reads: Have 10 of your responses to other members' questions in any one of these Raspberry Pi groups marked

It should read: Have 10 of your responses to other members' questions in any one of these Raspberry Pi groups marked "correct"

Hope this helps... [View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-0d91fd59-47ab-4468-8d76-3b4ae6f20d56/contentimage_5F00_1.png:16:16]

I've noticed on Windows 10 64 bit with Latest Chrome that the first image doesn't always load. I have to scroll down until it disappears then back up. Then it loads.

Not easy to reproduce, happened a few times in Feedback & Support articles.

Interesting changes this time. When I got in today, the Inbox would not load for several attempts. It would give shadows of things or load a list that was not clickable(because it was not finish and gave up). The "-" showed in each case on the inbox number. After a few try, things just started working. Cannot explain why...

RE: October 2019 Site Update

I don't know if it's related, but here's what happens to me.

First of all, I use Firefox, not Chrome.

I have the bad habit of using the "open in a new tab" option when visiting a forum or blog, to avoid losing myself among the threads.

Well, for instance, I go to the "Places" page and open all the subpages at once (i.e. RoadTest, Project14, Embedded, Members and the other 12 places I usually interact with).

I see the first section of each page loaded, while the rest of each page stays blank, for a (relatively) long time. Slowing the responsiveness of the browser, and not responding to the internal links.

I *suppose* this could have to do with the "lazy load" of the pages (the top of the pages is often crowded with offers and advertisement images), and this is why I decided to report the behaviour here.

Please forgive me if I went totally off-topic: I'm an old C programmer that never loved too much web (ouch!) design.

Very Bootstrapesque. I like it.

Big improvement on mobile devices indeed. Thank you.

Thanks for the positive feedback [View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-ca4ef8a9-85ce-46b3-96ef-305f66439137/contentimage_5F00_1.png:16:16] I hope the site loads faster on mobile / slower connections too! Lazy loading images should really help. There are more changes coming in our November site update.. it'll add lazy-loading of iframes (usually used for embedded videos) and practically all images on the site overview pages will be set to lazy load.
