As I see in the statistics (http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp) IE6 has 14.5% share and radically decreasing. In my opinion, I think it should be left dead as it should have been a long time ago. I don't think if somebody uses that good-for-nothing browser, he will be too

When I said pushng, I meant pushing, really. It is achieved via long polling, means that the browser makes a connection, and the server wait till data changes. If it does, then it replies, and the browser opens another connection. So a data change triggers it, and not just frequent polling.

Messages do not belong in infoboxes, they belong in messages. If you want the detail you click on it and it will show you the detail in an infobox. So really what he is complaining about is the little red X icon next to it. The purpose of which is to draw the user's attention. This is only shown if bootstrapping is particularly slow as I mentioned above... I guess we could change it to something more innocuous, but people won't read it in that case ... and then they will complain Freenet is slow and tell all their friends Freenet is slow. Of course they'll probably do that anyway ... Also I was hoping we could eventually eliminate ALL of the messages except for ERROR and CRITICAL_ERROR, and just have a link to the messages page for anything below that, and have this shown on every generated page rather than the summaries we have now.

When I said pushng, I meant pushing, really. It is achieved via long polling, means that the browser makes a connection, and the server wait till data changes. If it does, then it replies, and the browser opens another connection. So a data change triggers it, and not just frequent polling.

Ok, thats true. But the browser won't show an image till all the image above are shown, because it uses 2-3 connections to fetch the images sequentially. It may happen that a few image that fetches very slowly will hang all the others, even if they are completely present. sashee On Wed, Jun 17,

Ok, I'll schedule that then. One thing that *is* critical is that we stop loading the images if the user closes the page, but afaics the existing infrastructure will do that. I really dont think that anything gets notified when the user closes the tab. So I dont think fetching is stopped then.
