maltesefalcon Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 WTF is up with Instagram content? The content itself is awesome but it takes forever to load. I've had pages take five minutes at times....on my desktop. On an I-Pad they won't load at all. Is there a workaround for this. I'm on Firefox or Safari and have a fiber optic connection BTW.

S77 Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 can you link to an example of this so that we can investigate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maltesefalcon Posted May 25, 2019 Author Share Posted May 25, 2019 I can't remember which particular item prompted my first post. But I'll try to snag one. Look for thread pages with many video posts. It seems like they are are trying to download and play at the same time. (unlike Youtube which requires you to hit play first, thus saving bandwidth I guess...) As I said maybe there is a setting or workaround I'm not using?

maltesefalcon Posted May 26, 2019 Author Share Posted May 26, 2019 It seems to be mostly in the Plus Size models section. Makes sense, they have professional photogs to take videos of them. Here's a link to just one example page that has 6 autoplay videos and 1 Youtube. https://curvage.org/forum/index.php?/forums/topic/29353-costina-the-austrian-answer-to-ashley-graham/&page=2#comments It takes up so much band width Firefox actually issued a popup message suggesting I close the link as it was slowing down my browser. There is already a video sub-forum why cna't they just post the videos there? That would allow the photo pages to load quicker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maltesefalcon Posted May 26, 2019 Author Share Posted May 26, 2019 Here's one: https://curvage.org/forum/index.php?/forums/topic/11686-kiara-mia/&page=2#comments I stopped counting at 13 videos, most of which are autoplay. it took 5 minutes and 20 seconds to load the page on my desktop. It crashed twice on my IPad and doesn't want to load at all. In fairness I'm not sure that all of these are Insta links... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heisenberg4life Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 Another example towards bottom of page Just ban the direct IG embedded links. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChubbyGirlLover Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 I figure users can just screencap the post and then crop out what isn't needed. Then it's all there and won't disappear if the post disappears, which is another issue. S77 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S77 Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 I’m confused. Lazy load allows me to scroll right past loading Instagram embeds without waiting. (See video) what browser are you using? https://we.tl/t-6IyMNcmTVQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Smith Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 @Avataг Am I Lucifer incarnate around or did I have to be warned everytime for something I don't even know about, for a topic I'm not even aware about?

I've seen you fill up just about an entire page of replies. That's excessive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen you fill up just about an entire page of replies. That's excessive. In Instagram links? It's been one year since that time I stopped to post pages excessively filled with Instagram material save for my own threads, exactly because people kept to complain about it. Let alone, it's been an entire month since I limit my number of postings here because I'm sick and tired of all these people who keep complaining and reporting for my arse whenever I indeed do something excessive or are just barely making my way around. You say my posts are still excessive. Let's be honest: I'm not the one fillihg most anyone's thread every, single, day, tenfold magnified literally by tenfold since last April and at a degree which make pass my case for pure amateurism. Nor the one who keep some unhealthy fixation about asking on every forum twice or thrice each semester if anyone know any member belonging to the spectrum of the conceited teenage girl/young woman trope who turned into a lard-laden slub with age neither. Or the one who went full-on Uncle Ruckus with a hint of beyond-noticeable Antisemitism and hardcore fatphobic misogyny from thread to thread just for gnawing around. Or the one who posted for the fourth time a thread on some picture-friendly page speaking about fattening girls with absolutely no picture nor video evidencing his word. I'm not asking to anyone how to do their job, because you'd already did it and I thank you for this. I'm making my effort from my side to keep a relative balance. You can reach me on my inbox: if there has something wrong or anything else it might been a pleasure tobsee whst I can figure out from and eventually fix this because we are all humans, not perfect. But please, don't turn every single issue about a way to just make me pass for Julian Assange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But until now I thought my reading skill was close from faultless: the title above is "Instagram links ruining this site" . Not "Chuck-and-jive then hush for my inflated ego because I cannot stand your presence" . This is a forum. Stop reaching. Have a great day.
