Topic: interface optimization

Hello!
In my humble opinion after version 2.5.6 has been released, our lovely and fast vldPersonals started to change to the worst. With the advent of the bottom floating menu vldP interface became heavier and very slow. You can see this if you'll increase scale of the page in browsr and try to scroll down the screen.

Before authorisation and appearance of the floating bottom menu scrolling passes quickly and smoothly, but after you authorise and bottom menu appears, the page scrolled slowly and with the jerks. It demonstrates how this menu load browser window.

I consider, that first of all the interface should be fast and easy and if any elements make heavier it, it is necessary to refuse them, or to optimise so that was not created excessive loading on a browser window. Whether in version 2.5.5 yet there was no bottom menu and content scrolling was carried out more less smoothly and quickly, but with occurrences of it the menu the interface became inadmissibly bulky, that in turn does by the extremely inconvenient script use, so I very hope that vldPersonals interface will be optimized and became quick again, because as for me, I can not use so bulky interface and bottom menu is unnecessary I hope, it's better to place such items in static top menu.
I'm for the quick and light interface and what about you?

Are you sure it has nothing to do with a ton of javascript that you use on your site? Besides, templates are customizable, if you feel that default templates are *too much* you can always edit them.

Re: interface optimization

Hello, Vlad! I'm only talking about vldPersonals demo http://demo.vldpersonals.com.

Many of users have large monitors bigger than 19 inches with the resolution higher than 1280x1024 so most of people  increasing scale of the page and if you scroll down http://demo.vldpersonals.com as the guest and after authorization when bottom floating menu appears you'll see huge difference in scrollng speed and facility, so bottom menu make interface much more heavier and I really hope that you'll find decision to optimize interface because speed and interface convenience - the main thing which make vldPersonals better than other scripts before 2.5.6, but now, if you visit other biggest dating script demos you'll see that their interfaces lighter and quicker, in spite of this I like vldPersonals and hope that you'll find right concept without heavy floating elements.

As for me personally, I can not upgrade to 2.5.6 because it has very heavy and overladen interface.
