Umm, so when I log on or navigate to any page on this sight I keep getting this flickering strobe while the page loads. Is there anything I can do about this?

I have noticed this to. The page jumps around a bit before it stabilizes. I'm sure it can be repaired by the forum owner and moderators. Please look into this issue and fix it!

Thanks. Some of us are epileptic, and that's not so good.

I've never noticed that. Sometimes the page takes a while to resize (and I end up pressing the wrong button), but I've never noticed a strobe.

I haven't noticed any strobes but the page does re-size/shape itself a few times. It can be a bit irritating!

its because of the skin size, takes some time to load with proboards. theres a lot to our skins, so it takes some time to load the full page. We all have seen it. Unfortunately nothing can be done

I think I'll bump this topic just to mention that I see the strobe effect as well, but I'm not entirely sure what is causing it. It's definitely something in the coding, but I can't be more specific than that. I'd like to eliminate it, but it's easier said than done.

The strobe effect is because you (at least as far as my knowledge goes) have Firefox 3. Try an older version of firefox or try a different browser and see if that fixes it for you. I use Netscape 9 (based off of Firefox 2) and it has no strobe effect.

I think they should make all the skins a little wider, as the screen resolution now a days is larger. That should also remove some of the flicker.

I've been doing a lot of nitpicking in the coding today and I think I've improved the forum load time a little bit. It's not much, but maybe some of you will notice a difference.
