Style Performance Overhaul

I have just turned on a major style performance overhaul that includes a couple of new features, though primarily was all about performance enhancement.

Basically, all users using a newer browser that is web standards compliant just stripped around 60 uses of gradient images from being loaded, as they're now all CSS3 gradients, which means no images.

The logo is now CSS loaded, and some other style performance improvements.

If you experience an issue, your first step is to drop your browsers cache so that you're using the latest data in your browser, as browsers cache pages to speed loading at your computer.

All the changes are completely backwards compatible, which means those who don't use newer web standards compliant browsers will simply see the same thing, but by use of images instead of CSS.

How Does CSS Improve Performance?

To keep the answer simple, CSS loads once to your browser cache, then it runs from there. So every time a page loads requiring something, it means less to load from the server (images) as the same can be accomplished in newer browsers through the use of CSS3, thus near instant delivery of a page depending on your computer, browser and web connection speed in relative proximity to the server in the US.

If you experience an issue and have performed the above cache removal, the please take a screen print and attach it here, with the browser version being used and OS type (Windows, Mac, Linux).
 
I don't like the font.... Times Roman is so old fashioned. Preferred the cleaner font but like the online/offline status even though it shows funny in Firefox.
 
Now online/offline status does not work in Firefox - even cleared the cache and cookies twice.
 
Well now I see the difference. Mozilla just did an update to 11. which I had not installed.

I do not see an online/offline showing however I may have checked mine to not show.

I had noticed some images not loading, this would explain it. Thanks now I know it is not me.

Yuk, On the Font, I know nobody asked me!

I have to add it is so nice of you to explain these actions. Laughing at the same time as most
are likely saying what on earth is he talking about? CSS sounds like a new found therapy.
 
I use FF, at first I could see the online/offline thing (transparent with green letters) just fine. But now it's gone, I can't see it anymore.

Dare I say I actually do like this font better, it's a nice change of pace. It doesn't matter to me.

I have a problem with some of the text. Members who are premium members have a wider Name box which cuts off some of the text. For example.

I have done the empty cache thingy, I looked up on google how to do it.
Any advice - pretty please.
