MTC is getting ridiculously slow
Community ManagerHi all,
Thanks for the extra details, we will investigate and I will get back to you as soon as I have more to share.
We want the community to be as snappy as we possibly can be, while also offering all the power users are many customizations and options as we can possibly serve. There is actually allot more data loaded via that ajax call than what you see when the page loads.
Anyway - I will update you as soon as I can.
Allen I feel I often would like to just casually browse the forums to see if I find an interesting thread.
So if I access a community, like: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Community-Discussion/bd-p/CommunityQuestions. Takes 9 seconds to load. I'm presented with 4 conversation threads. I press "Show more conversations", which sure, takes just a second or two but still only adding 4 converstations. So it would take ages for me to go through the latest let's say 100 conversations.
Compare this to www.reddit.com > Compact View and bam, 2 seconds and I get presented with the latest some 50 threads. Sure Reddit is extreme but even the good old 10 year old TechNet Social forums (https://social.technet.microsoft.com/forums/) does a good job, loads in a second or two and shows 20 threads.
So just letting us choose a "Compact View" instead of an "Expanded view" would be a good start. Check out Reddit startpage and the view, that's a good example.
