After we relaunched LocallyGrownNorthfield.org last summer, there was a simple little feature: whenever you clicked a name under “Active Discussions,” it would bring you to that person’s comment
As comment threads grew longer, though, pages began loading very slowly. To fix this, I split the page loading so the sidebar and comments loaded after the rest of the page. This was helpful for quickly browsing around, but it prevented the aforementioned feature from working. I thought this would slide through undetected, but at least one crafty reader noticed and complained.
I won’t bore you (further) with the details, but the click-to-comment feature is back. The pages will load the slow way when you click from the sidebar, but for general browsing, it’ll still be speedy as it has been since August.
As usual, I will use this post to solicit any tech gripes in the comments. Have at it!
P.S.: If anyone happens to view Locally Grown on their cell phone, you will notice that there is now a special version of the site for mobile browsers. iPhone/Touch folks will still see the regular site.
Sean,
Thanks for the effort… and hey! Nice “luggable” you have there!
That thing is nearly OLDER than the text based Internet…
Again, thanks for the effort. It is nice having the direct links back.
Aw, thanks Sean. You didn’t just add the mobile viewing just for me did you?
