Some of you may have noticed that topics with 20+ replies load slowly. The culprit has been found and it’s our like plugin.

To keep this site speedy, i’m disabling the plugin and will install a new one on Saturday.

Why so long for a replacement? Saturday is the earliest I can do it. My work schedule is crazy at the moment.

In the meantime, all complaints about not having a like button can go to @sffh.

Well, just see if I hit the like button for you in the next few days. 😏

That seems extreme. Couldn’t we just be careful to only post stuff nobody likes?

I predict that, to paraphrase from the Shining, all posts and no “likes” will make Jackpine Radicals a dull place. {sigh}

I suppose we can hope the fools in Washington don’t do anything foolish in the next few days. But who would that be kidding? I believe in magic and I still wouldn’t believe the fools in Washington can go for three days without doing foolish things! They can’t go for three hours….

  No thanks. You’re too old and tough to make good long pork.

‘Cause that's what it would be. "Tea and cake or death? Tea and cake or death? Tea and cake or death!" Students with beards, (mimes demonstrating with picket signs) "Tea and cake or death! Tea and cake or death! Little Red Cookbook! Little Red Cookbook!" ‘Cause, "Cake or death?" That's a pretty easy question. Anyone could answer that.

I keep wanting to like these responses but I can’t.

  Since when did you need Trivia to drink?

@deadpool @sffh the site is moving much faster, especially on the topics with many replies. Thanks for identifying this problem.

  It took me forever to find a tool to track requests and times required to find the culprit. Sorry about that. Most such tools only examine the home pages of sites, and in our case, unless you were logged in (a dead giveaway because the slow only happened to logged in members here) and examining a topic page did the like button go nuts with requests to their synchronization servers. And the makers of the plugin refuse to have an opt out for that sync so we had to pull the plug (in).
  
  Stupid plugin took 27 seconds to make 99 requests to their servers for a Trivia posting that had 33 responses. That same page loaded in 0.76 seconds after Deadpool deactivated the plugin.
  
  Fuck ’em. The kid gets to find a replacement.

Hello all, try this as a workaround. Personally, I think it should be a tab, it’s great. And credit to @dudester for pointing it out:

This is better than the Latest page ever was!!!
