HTML (simple) version of DA for old computers?

~AnonygooseD Jul 11, 2012

I ALWAYS encounter a problem when browsing DA, my computer (and my internet) are kinda slow, and all browsers I tried are also cr4ppy (chrome, ff, opera, ie) and just not working out for me! can anyone here relate or is it a sin to have an old computer? so how about a simple HTML version for old computers? (just like gmail)

As stated, see FAQ #38: Which browsers are supported by deviantART? and this announcement to find your answers.

If you need any help, see Need Help? thread.

If things are slow, it's because your computer is either outdated or you have a poor connection speed. Newer browsers have also been optimized to run faster than their older versions. dA only supports browsers back to certain versions and it's a good thing they don't support any further than that. The idea is to give people the best experience possible, and if you're using an outdated browser and/or outdated computer that's your problem. At that point it's time to start looking at upgrading.

Right now, the best thing you can do to speed things up is to disable javascript on your browser.

My computer is four-and-a-half years old and it runs just fine on it. I think something's wrong with your computer. Does it come with an eight inch floppy drive?

Mine is from back when the Pentium was still a name in computing, the Pentium IV.

If your computer is THAT old that you need a extremely simple version of dA to even load it... you might want to think about upgrading from that Commodore 64.

It's bad to have an old computer and you should feel bad.

And also, why keep up with old things? That's like having backwards support on the Nintendo 3DS for the original GameBoy.

But they do. In a virtual form.

Yes, it is a sin to have an old computer. An old computer is an abomination unto the Lord. You will be cast into the outer darkness of obsolescence, where there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth at the blue screen of death.

Really? It runs fine on an old Pentium 4, just dandy!
