BUG #4458: Website slow, inaccessible

From
""
Date:
The following bug has been logged online:

Bug reference:      4458
Logged by:
Email address:      nomail@mailinator.com
PostgreSQL version: firefox 2
Operating system:   freebsd
Description:        Website slow, inaccessible
Details:

A quick note that flash is still proprietary and not
universally available, therefore content posted only as
flash is unavailable to otherwise perfectly viable
platforms. I don't think adobe's unwillingness to change
that should be reason to ditch my preferred platform, so
please put some thought toward publishing content at
least also in truly open formats.

The second note is that I noticed my firefox started
trashing as soon as I opened more than one postgresql.org
tab concurrently, with little to no trouble without them
and 30+ other firefox windows (with each 5+ tabs) open.
It may be that the javascript and css used could use some
complexity reduction and speeding-up.

Based on the email address, I can only assume that this is spam.

But, just in case someone is worried that there may be some
validity to the complaint:
I use FreeBSD/Firefox 2 and I don't have any trouble
having many, many tabs open and pointing to various parts of
the pg.org site.  I also don't use Flash and don't know what
he's talking about.

indeed, I just wandered all over www.postgresql.org with a flashblocker
that would have shown me a big fat "F" on any flash content, and saw
zero, zilch, none.

you got me there.  I'd forgotten about that bit of humor and my random
sampling of news articles missed it.    I should have clarified that
'wandered all over' did involve some pseudo random sampling.
