Our app loads extremely slowly, especially the pictures, and the developer has not been able to come up with a solution to this. The movements are slow and the buttons are slow in response (works on the 2nd or 3rd press).
The stability is terrible, for example the whole screen moves to the left by 2mm when you press a back button.
The app downloads information from the server every time it runs. We have tried changing the server, but this did not yield any results.
The current solution is to make the images smaller (compress them) to make the app run faster, but we are dubious if this will work.
Is there anybody who has had the same problems with their app?
I would be very grateful for any suggestions for how to fix this. We need it to be fast and responsive.
These are very vague, general issues. You ideally need a developer to take a look at the whole problem.
Some things they may look into would be:
Is data access asynchronous?
Are there transitions running on the
page?
Are styles being added on hover or focus?
If the app is written badly, simply chucking more resources at it probably won't solve the problem.

When we select a captcha image, it fading away and a fresh new image is getting replaced, as shown in below screenshot. Same for all images in that captcha. For over a year we had no problem, but only since 2 days we are seeing this(no change is done in the page).
Additionally, this problem occurs intermittently irrespective of browsers, OS, or Browser Incognito mode.
We tried changing security level at Google Developer Console to low, medium and full but of no use. If you have any clue or handled this before, please let me know.
Note: I see this problem for my work website, personal website, as well on Quora Signup page also!(may have to keep refreshing for a while to see the problem).
This is expected behaviour, its just a different type of recaptcha challenge. You select all storefronts or whatever it tells you too and then it will fade out and load a new image. You have to repeat and click the matching images until there are no more storefront images left to select, then verify.
This is completely confusing for users. If you do it once and it behaves a certain way and then the next time images fade out it seems like an error. This is not an answer but hopefully if enough people lodge an issue they can make a more sensible solution.
I had the same problem and it was very annoying. At first i thought my captcha is bugged out.
The solution: Keep pressing the images they ask you to click on (for example "select all images with dogs")
As soon as there are no more pictures with "dogs" press the submit button and it should give you a positive response.
hope it helped :)
i faced the same issue.
Its not a bug as many guys claim.
But first of all you have to disable your ad blocker, if you are using any.
When recaptcha i.e. asks for chosing a bus, select a bus until there is no bus anymore.
Then verify... this worked for me. i hope for you as well
I went through many links and research for this behavior but as we all know grecaptcha is one type of service that protects your website from spam and abuse. Every time our CAPTCHAs are solved, that human effort helps digitize text, annotate images, and build machine learning datasets. This in turn helps preserve books, improve maps, and solve hard AI problems.
Google Recaptcha
So this is basic thing which everybody knows who are using grecaptcha.
But your question is appreciable but this behavior is not related to security settings or OS or Browsers or anything else.
(You will get rid of this behavior only when they change their behavior or launch new Captcha. :)
In my j2me blackberry application, I want to open editfield to enter text when user clicks on search icon. I have search icon added at the top right corner, when user clicks on it, I want to open basiceditfield with animating from right to left. I want Animation should be like default search on main screen in blackberry. How to do this? Is it possible?
You can do almost anything with the Blackberry Ui, if you understand it and are prepared to put the time in. But what you see when you press the magnifying glass is something that someone has spent a lot of time doing. There is API for doing anything like that (at least not one I have found). So if you are not experienced doing BlackBerry Ui, as I suspect is the case here, then I would suggest that replicating what the BB engineers have done with the animation from the search icon on the Home screen to the search screen, is too difficult to justify.
A lot of these sorts of things are, in my opinion, just gloss. They do not make the application any easier to use, just make it look flash. Personally, I would spend your time on making sure your application works well, rather than making it look flashy.
I do recommend using the screen transition animations as a way of moving from one screen to another. These are fairly easy to use and when used correctly, provide a good visual clue to your user regarding the flow through your application. I also suggest you spend some time making sure your assets (icons etc.) look good, on all the various sizes of BB that you are developing for.
I have a website that I am trying to build and have built everything up. I viewed everything locally on my computer then bought a name and found a company to host it. The result is very different to my original vision. Everything seems quite blurry, things that where small before are now bigger and things have moved around.
I wonder if there is anything that I should be putting in my code to make it different? I tested it locally and hosted on chrome.

here's the website, if anyone has any ideas, please let me know.
Thanks!
I zoomed in 150% and everything seems fine like that.
Chrome remembers your zoom settings per domain, is it possible you developed using 150% zoom, and the live site is at 100%?
EDIT:
As an aside, I think your site is really hard to navigate. If I have to wait for a box to turn to be able to click on something I want to, I'll close your site really fast... The menu on the bottom is barely noticable. I would also add the static text menu to all the subpages for easier navigation. Sorry, this is not really relevant to the question, I just thought I'd add my 2 cents.
For some reason when I use Chrome to test out my website, no images load at all, not even tiny ones like loading icons or the simple "back to top of page" arrow icon at the bottom. The browser tab just hangs on the spinning circle loading state. If I refresh it like 10 times or something then a portion of the images might load. Interestingly my Nivo-Slider images never load... there is a large empty space at where the Nivo-Slider gallery should be at the top left of my page no matter how many times I refresh.
The console is completely clean of errors if you check.
Can anyone check for me why my website is not working in Chrome? It works perfectly in Firefox/IE. I admit some images might have large file sizes but it shouldn't cause Chrome to hang for like half an hour?
I'm using latest Chrome/IE/Firefox. Windows 7 64-bit.

By the way my website is a completely fictional museum/gallery project, it's not the official site for some museum!
I cannot be 100% certain on this, but judging from the Network panel, you might be loading too many MP3 files at the same time, thus maxing out the number of simultaneous requests. Chrome might use a different prioritization algorithm.
I would recommend removing some of those MP3 files and deferring loading until after the initial load.
EDIT:
Nevermind that, it appears that the MP3s load fine, but other resources are definitely blocking it. A request should never be pending this long. Poke around further in the Network panel and you'll find the problem.
I'm building a web app to design and animate simple 3d scenes using the Away3D library, but the design of the interface itself is built around a scrolling menu which takes up the whole height of the screen.
The problem is, on OSX browsers have a silly quirk where if the page is scrolled when it has already gone as far as it can, the page can be dragged slightly further, revealing a brushed metal background. This looks nice and whatnot, but it pretty much ruins scrolling in a swf object. I use flash builder and export to safari, which is just about useable, if pretty annoying (especially with a mac touchpad, which can give a much higher scroll delta than a mousewheel can), but when I open my app in firefox/chrome the same effect happens, and causes the app and browser to slow down drastically.
I've found code which uses ExternalInterface to stop the swf sending mouse events to the page, but they all seem to disable detection in the swf as well, and I can't find anything else which help. If anyone knows of a solution you'll be saving me from throwing a few months' work away for what seems like a suspiciously unnecessary drawback to Flash on OSX!
Thanks in advance if anyone can help
Figured it out, in case anyone else gets stuck with this:
The feature's called elastic scrolling, if you're running a flash/flex app which takes up all the browser space you can simply set body{overflow: hidden;} in page CSS and it'll work just fine. Obviously, this disables any kind of page-scrolling - I believe you can turn it back on inside nested elements though.
Hope this helps someone anyway!
