Yes, I can see the slide show. I'm using Google Chrome as a browser, by the way. It was a little slow in starting, but when the slides starting rolling, they went smoothly.

Excellent, I couldn't reboot this computer with all the stuff I was doing on it and didn't know if SM was an issue.

I can't see it. (But I can see the image at the top.)

Firefox 3.5.3 and located in China

It came up eventually for me, but it wasn't fast at all.

It was slow to appear for me too. Perhaps you should configure a splash image so something appears sooner.

I can see it buddy with FF 4.0.. took about 12 seconds to load up but ran with no hiccups after that.

SamirD · May 13, 2011

Interesting. I'm not sure why there's a delay like that. There never has been in the past.

Don't think to much into it, it could have been on my side...

But I've seen this delay too. That's why I was thinking it wasn't working.

If someone is NOT getting a 10s+ delay, please let me know!

After the flash object is in the browser cache (e.g. the 2nd time it gets loaded), I only had a 2s delay before I saw an image. I know from my own slideshow code that there are two things that can sometimes cause a delay on the slideshow:

1) API responsiveness to get a listing of the images in the gallery. Sometimes, this gets a little pokey.
2) Generation of custom size images. Usually, this works fine, but sometimes it's pokey too.

Thank you very much for the feedback!

I haven't posted any new event coverage in months now, so I don't want any hiccups for my site visitors. They've been waiting for all this stuff for months...

I'm rebooting and seeing if it helps.

None of those works for me.
Not on Chrome and not on FF.

ebwest · July 16, 2011

I don't get anything on FF 5.0

SamirD · July 17, 2011

Thank you very much for the feedback.

Looks like I have a lot of slideshow code to change.

Like thousands of lines of code. :cry
