Archive Section of the Website

Post by Maximilien » Mon May 11, 2009 10:16 am

Well, i've got a little problem with the archive section of the website.

See, my computer's not exactly the most recent machine there is so i'm having a problem when i try to load up the archive page. It freezes, too much information at once for my computer so the browser freezes. I tried using both IE and Firefox and both do the same thing.

I was wondering if (whoever's in charge) "someone" could fix it so it's not as heavy on older computers. Last time i went to the archive i think it was in 2007, so there are just about 400 new links added to the archive. If you could just put links for years and then everything posted during that year, it would probably settle the problem.

Thank you for your time & comprehension.

I have the same problem with the Hubble News Center. I had Norton Check my system and nothing was found. I contacted Hubble support and I never got an answer. My computer is only a year old; so I don't think it's the load from the site. :cry:

Try using the calendar.

BTW: The Asterisk is not a part of APOD.
