I did mean “Fatness.” :) If a site is chock full of too much scripting and useless Flash, the site is fat and needs to go on a diet to make it easier on the users who use it.

I used it to block flash cookies but then flashdoesn't work. Maybe it is a useless program. Flush Flash will remove Flash cookies. I do use Flash Block withFirefox. I also use the Greasemonkey script Flash Quality Changer, but I can't tell If the script is working or not.Here is the Flash Manager http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager02.htmlThanks, AlP.S. Did you mean Fa(s)tness/Slowness ? Good article Rich.

Unfortunately, a lot of developers are under the impression if there's not Flash flying around then the site isn't effective. Poor, poor designs... Agree…despise sites with Flash overload.

Patrons using our public access computers will complain about the machine being too slow, or not working at all when in fact there is another problem. Funny enough, the problem is usually our county website being down, and that is our homepage for our browsers. So, a patron gets a 404 error, or a slow loading page, and they get upset because the computer we put them on is slow or doesn't work. This causes our staff no shortage of stress.
