Google Chrome
I've been having all kinds of trouble with IE on both this site and CF. My browser constantly stops responding (upwards of 15 times a day if I'm on these sites enough).
Today, I made the switch to Google Chrome, and have yet to have a single problem. It's just unbelievable how much difference the browser makes around here.

Re: Google Chrome
Chrome is lean and mean but I have to admit there are some minor things on this site I can't do with it, such as rate threads and post pics. Other than that I use it for 99.9% of my browsing.

I haven't been able to upload my old avatar since the migration, so that's not been a big downside for me on Chrome. If that ever gets fixed I'll upload it on IE. I'm getting sick of not having one.

If I'm reading you right, no, it's no big deal to me to be able to rate threads or post pics.

Re: Google Chrome
IE is the worst browser on the market, yet they have 50% of market share.
Go figure.

That's because it comes on every computer. 50% of people don't realize any other browser exists

No, I meant if you thought those were things slowing down the site. I am going to try to cut as much dead weight like that as I can in the next redsign. I have never rated a thread, I dont ever change viewing methods, etc

I doubt thread rating gets much use. I didn't even know about it until someone mentioned it a day or two ago.
I do think a non-anonymous rep capability would get a lot of use.

This. I do like that about CyFan. It's nice to get rep and always know who it's from and for which posts.

So what? Rep is a nice little feature, and it got used a lot here even when it was anonymous. And it gets used a lot at CF too. Hell, I haven't posted there that much (like 600 posts in 6 months, most of which were racked up during the conference realignment), and I've been "repped" like 15 times. It gets a lot of use.

Re: Google Chrome
Sounds like you need to be on CF then.
