Page Load

Every-time I refresh the page the "we're currently closed' sign that hangs over the 'enter world' button takes about a second and a half longer to load then the rest of the page. So for that second and half I get all excited, and then my mood goes crashing through the floor when I see that darn red sign. 

Maybe this should be adjusted as to not cause users such drastic mood swings?

  • Philip, I'm not sure the devs can do much about this except write a script to switch the "Enter Game" image with a "We're Currently Closed" image altogether, instead of just covering the former one with with latter, which is what they do now. That seems a little unnecessary. If images are taking longer to load than they used to, you may want to try clearing your browser's cache and reloading the Glitch pages a few times. That, and you may want to close other programs, especially those that seem to use a lot of bandwidth.

  • Yeah - it probably has something to do with the fact that I'm still on dial up.

  • It may be faster to check the "home" page since that's primarily text-based, down where it says Game Status. If you see a little green circle, and a message saying the game is open, you're good to go!
