Macho Option to disable Twitter feed?

I really do talk ****!

How hard would it be to code an on/off switch in options? Default to on, so it is a conscious choice if people don’t want the update? Something like…

“Disable twitter feed. (You are still responsible for any informational updates you might miss!)”

I only ask because the load time for the character page is really swingy and it clearly depends on twitter, not FWZ. Load time is noticeably longer all the time, and really wacky at others. I’ve had one time that it took almost a minute. (Yes, I know I can click any other page and bypbum the character page, but there are things I want to see on the character page a lot of the time.)

I ‘dunno, it’s never seemed to bother me.

But if it does other people, then It probably needs fixing.

Hey Ricket, despite what I’ve always heard, you are actually a fine fellow. Bunch of damn liars.

This appears to hide the twitter span from view. Will this still prevent any twitter lag? I haven’t seen any problems myself but that might be due to the times I log in.

The twitter_div still loads, it just isn’t displayed. So, I suppose any lag you’d encounter due to Twitter would still exist. Though I haven’t seen any either.

I love Ricket, he is so clever Log in to see images!

Also, I agree with this. The lag is frustrating esp when switching between alts.

If you have the Noscript extension and do not whitelist twitter it doesn’t show up at all and it doesn’t seem to load anything.
