sorry, to jump in, but you say you should have permission for polls... are you sure polls are enabled in the forum you are using?  each forum has to be enabled individually...  just checking...

Steve...I feel like crap now...confused

I am so sorry, the polls were enabled in one forum only and I was looking to all the others.

Sorry for bothering you guys. Everything is working perfectly!

Thank you so much for everything!

Excellent news.

I have to say I am impressed that this plugin does what it says without blowing out SP scripts. I do intend to play with it and do some performance testing of my own.

Andy, I tried some other plugins to defer Javascript, move them to the footer and so on.

None of them works properly, a lot of JS errors. This one seems to be just good, it does what it's supposed to and everything works fine.

Knowing how Google and Yahoo are insisting on the speed, I think it's a plugin to consider on every site. wink

The main issue that I saw was simply that it needs to load the SP scripts in the header which in itself of course, is not ideal. But if you also turn on the compressed/cached script files in SP then that will probably offset this disadvantage enough.

Andy, a couple of boys from Italy told me they still have to clear the cache of the browser pretty much every time they go to the forum, as a few things (buttons like "Add reply" and so forth) don't work. When they clear the cache, everything works just fine.

Any idea what can cause it?

I tested the site and the forum with Firefox, Chrome, Safari and Opera, it works great with all of them, no need to clear the cache at all. But over there some people have a few issues.

I do not know what to tell them...

To be honest I don't really think that makes a lot of sense. The browser cache can only cache the items requested by the html.
Any ideas anyone?

It was enabled, Steve.

Now it's off, let's see if it helps...
