For some reason, the new interface is very slow in both Firefox and Firefox Nightly once I log in. They are both fast if I'm not logged in. Safari and Chrome are fine logged in or not. Very strange.
iMac with Retina 5K display, OS X El Capitan (10.11.5)
No problems for me using Firefox.
Interesting. I have the same issue on two different Macs.
Followup: The issue and it's not just Firefox. I've recreated the problem in Safari, Firefox, Edge and Chrome on two different Macs, a Windows 10 box and a Linux box. The problem is once you enter into a community, let's say El Capitan, read someone's post, then either back arrow or click the community name at the top right of the page, it takes a long time sitting on "Connecting" before the page finally loads. It only seems to occur when I'm logged in.
Just possible it has been due to the amount of work going on with the system. My machines are both slow in linking to different categories or different replies within a category.
I'm hoping you're right because it's really slow. I thought perhaps all the servers weren't in sync. we'll see.
So far nothing has changed. It still is taking approx 8 seconds on average to navigate from one page to another. I emailed the hosts. I'll see what they have to say.
Nothing has changed here, either, in fact it has gotten worse. And to compound matters I often find myself having to sign in twice, each time causing page opening delays. I am now sure it is the complexity of the recent changes.
Well, at least I don't have to sign in twice. That is indeed worse. I also noticed when I tried linking to my post here, it actually liked to a post in the iPhone community . đ

That just seems to be the norm for ASC to me (and I use Firefox). It used to take 8 seconds last year and I was on 1 Mbps using a Quicksilver G4. Now I am on 50 Mbps with a late '08 MacBook and it still takes 8 seconds.
Join the club, except that mine is nearer 15 seconds with 16Gb of RAM and 20mbps. It is becoming too much trouble to participate. Not a good sign.
Well, it's never been this bad for me and I have a 150Mb/s connection. I don't have the problem on the Apple Developer Forums. But they are on the "old" interface.
The new forum download the font. You may try Hiroto's css or my modified version.
Adjust the format and layout of ASC Web Pages
I do not think it will make that big of a difference.

Thanks for the reply. You're not saying the font is downloaded every time a page loads or is refreshed? That would be very odd. The delay seems to be connecting to a page, not drawing it.
here's what happens
This is known as "Client side computing" = it takes much of the "load" off of the Apple servers
Check out the Page Source = Command + U -- or on some browser menu (Firefox's is on "Tools" > "Web Developer" > "Page Source"
You can see what happens BEFORE the actual content starts loading by looking for where the obvious thread content starts loading by the "rules" set up above that area
Thanks for the info, some of which I understand. đ
Something I still don't understand is why half the time, if I'm not logged in navigation is very fast. Other times it's the same.
I don't relish the thought of using custom css files with up to 10 computers with multiple browsers on each.
I haven't checked iPads to see if navigation is as bad. Guess I'll do that now.
Thanks again.
