I've created a speed optimiser, basically it makes firefox or internet explorer use more threads, and HGF loads faster. I've spent a fair few hours developing this now, and it seems to speed stuff up a lot for me.
Could you guys please test this for me and report back how much faster HGF loads? Please load up HGF before installing by hitting "Control + F5", then after installing try again and tell me how much faster it loads. ATM, this is only compiled for XP computers.
I hope you enjoy it

Yep, it just edits your threads. Doesn't install anything. Is HGF faster now?

Thanks, I spent all day working on it. I think it does depend on your connection though, what speed you got?

You must mean download limit, lol.
What sorta speed increase are you other guys experiencing? For me it's in the 30% range.

My next project is gonna be one I promised to make a while ago, Firefox customised to HGF. Basically, firefox edited with a sexy HGF theme, the ability to auto search HGF through the browser, usefull links embedded in the browser pointing to HGF and HG sites.
Will anyone be interested in this?

04 July 2006, 20:16 UTC#16
I really don't notice a difference but I'm sure there is one.
Next project is just to fix the back button and it will be all good.

I think that's a problem with the skin, however forums have sufficient navigation links to not need a back button.
Nevertheless, me and Made have a custom skin planned. We just gotta organise it.
04 July 2006, 20:24 UTC#18
whats wrong with the back button anyway, mine works fine....
04 July 2006, 20:24 UTC#19
I can't test this right now as I'm downloading but I ran it....
Also I think the FF skin is a great idea...

Gaz, is there any way to have a search feature that pinpoints the exact page a word/phrase was used on.
I hate searching for stuff then finding that its in some thread with 20 pages.

Do you mean when you search a users post, or just use a keyword in the regular search box?
