Ever since I upgraded Firefox from 3.something to 8 several weeks back, it has had real trouble with the main voting page. Y'know, this one:

www.threadless.com/submissions

It takes AGES AND AGES to load, maxing out CPU all the while. Even if I kill the tab the moment it starts loading, FF *still* maxes out CPU for up to a minute or so. This problem has persisted with every FF upgrade (I'm now at ver.11).

Anyone else experience this?

Chrome doesn't have this issue, but Chrome occasionally gives my PC the BSOD, so I don't use it much.

73 comments? O RLY?

I hope they've got a special 'GTFO' button for declining truly stupid plagiarism.

....I can't say I'm keen on the placement.

Ages ago I'd bookmarked a few of the Twitter tees, and now I notice they all 404. The tees don't even show up in the "all" page....oh well, should have bought 'em last year.

I just noticed that the page re-design has done away with the 'blog about this design' link. *sigh*

In the past, I would earn the occasional stp by mentioning designs in various blog comments (that is to say, not in Threadless blogs)....but now if I want to do that, I have to paste together an stp-enabled URL, assuming that even works.

I suppose I could hand over what remains of my soul to Mark Zuckerberg, but please Threadless, I don't want to do that!

A couple of days from now, the submissions counter will hit 250000. It's been scarcely more than 10 months since the non-event which was the (declined) 200000th submission......and the odds are really really good that the quarter millionth one will be, too.

But maybe it won't......let's hear it for pointless speculation!

High-water mark:

I'm demonstrating insane geekiness by mentioning this, but.....

That's a regular nut with right-hand threads, but the bolt has left-hand threads, and so they'll never mate together.

Poor robot, even his smutty daydreams are doomed to fail. :-(

Found this last night whilst aimlessly ping-ponging around the internet.



I think the artist has an existence here on Threadless, but I'm too lazy to check.....
