For the past week or two (beginning, perhaps, at the time the server was changed) the analyze board (by the way, shouldn't that be analysis board?) has been behaving badly - slow to draw itself, failing to load piece images correctly, and generally being lazy and unresponsive. Has this been happening to any of the rest of you? It seems better on my machine at home, but here on my machine at work (where I am at this very moment supposed to be writing code instead of playing chess) it is hardly working at all, though other websites are behaving just fine. Any thoughts?
today the images in the alaylse board (or board analysis) were not loaded twice or - to be more correct - they disapeared when changing the move in the move list.
I had this twice, but meanwhile it woks very well again!

edit: the little infoboxes in MyGames seem to have little problems as well...
I click on "analyse baord", the window opens and when it finished loading and I even wait a bit and then log off from the internet and try to contunue my analysis it does not work anymore (the pieces disappear and become squares with Xs ...)
any idea? any help? any... anything

Could be redundant page cookies? The very first thing all RHP'ers should have done when the new server/host was up was to delete all their RHP cookies and temp.inet files and start again. And as a habit it should be done every couple of weeks as Russ is always writing new code and besides, its just good house keeping.

It's my understanding that the site server sets page and game cookies so yes, just delete those and when you re-visit a page/game/forum the server will update them. Loading will be a bit slow at first but after the initial refresh, things will really phang.

Not sure that it's a matter of cookies as such, so much as other cached objects. If a Javascript object changed its content in an upgrade, but not its name, maybe that would cause strange things to happen, such as looking for graphic resources in the wrong place (usual cause of pictures being replaced by the little red x in a rectangle.)
Yes, it's strange - on the W2000 machine at my office, which works with blazing speed for other sites, the analyze board hangs up, fails to redraw, forgets pieces, and moves very slowly. On my XP machine at home, it works just fine.
I'm not sure why a browser should start struggling with that page, nothing too laborious is going on. It is a glitch in the browser - I just don't know what triggers it. Luckily it appears to be rare.
Does the machine that is behaving badly ever get rebooted? Do you have another browser installed with which to try the same page? (I have only seen this on IE before.) Have you tried clearing down temporary internet files from the browser?

Rest assured, anytime my images, JS libraries or CSS change, I use a new filename. All of the these are cached, and to not change their names, as you say, would cause problems.
I noticed a problem when I installed my new Pop-up Blocker. I find that occasionally, I have to re-affirm that I want to allow popups from this site, or the blocker tries to shut it down.
I have tried clearing the browser cache, and the machine gets rebooted once every day or two. It's very strange - it used to work fine... I expect the problem has to do with that particular machine somehow, but I can't think of what it might be. I'll try it with a different browser - Ive been using IE, but maybe it will work better with Netscape.
Analyze board acting oddly?
