Does this only happen on the activity stream page?

On closer inspection, it happens on other pages too. It's not as noticeable on thread pages since it's natural to linger there for a bit before trying to click something.

 

Anyway, I'm looking at the Firefox source code to see if I can tame it from that end.

Thank you.

I managed to improve the situation in Firefox by ripping out a few hundred lines of nonsense code and deferring opening of the sound device a bit. It still often ends up hogging the sound card (which means some javascript here is misbehaving as other sites do not have this problem), but I think the annoying freeze-up is gone.

I just changed the javascript to load Just before </body> tag if you're using the Premium theme.

It's still hogging the sound device for no apparent reason. This is annoying because it means nothing else can play sounds.

I notified the software vendor.

This could be related to notifications. If you logout, notifications are all disabled. If you have time, try it logged out.

Hi Guys - I figured out a way to show specific topic moderators on the top of each thread that's moderated. Check out the screenshot.

It only does it when logged in.

I found that changing the secret Firefox setting "dom.webaudio.enabled" to false makes it stop. Youtube still works.

 

It is still my opinion that site scripts should stay away from the sound device until they actually intend to play something, not open it and play silence forever just in case.

Can you rephrase this to help me understand?

Usually, if you paste formatted text, a banner appears with an offer to paste as plain text instead. If not, select it and click the Tx button above the edit box. Or at least you used to. That button seems to be gone.

I noticed that with a recent update. I’ll get it back. 

[The Computer Audiophile]

It's back.

Something seems wrong with the chronological sort. Sometimes old posts are appearing again at the end of the list. See here for example:

Even if you use the "sort by date" setting?

You’re looking at a Q&A thread where posts have been voted down. Those appear “last.”

I looked for that and couldn't find it, but I see it now. Thanks

I missed the sorting control. I was looking for it at the top or even bottom, not between the initial question and the responses. I think defaulting to date is more logical though.

This section is design to show people the best answers without scrolling through pages of less than good answers. The main forum is sorted by date by default.
