Loading %

From PluginWiki

Jump to: navigation, search

To add extra function to Yahoo's pages, the plugin needs to make extra requests to Yahoo under the covers. The Loading % tells you how far through doing this it is. You see this in two places:

  • Towards the top of the window, on the right hand side: Image:LoadingPercent.jpg
  • On the taskbar, on the bottom right of your browser: Image:LoadingPercentToolbar.jpg

This can go backwards:

  • The plugin doesn't know how many pages it needs to load until it's loaded some of them.
  • So you might see it get to 70% then drop to 50%, before continuing upto 100% at which point it says Loaded.
  • This is particularly likely when you have some periodic checking enabled (e.g. for recently joined members).

Generally you should wait until the page is fully loaded before doing anything. In fact there are some things you can do without waiting, e.g.:

  • Select approve/delete for messages
  • Change moderation status

...but generally function may not work properly, and the screen may be jumping around a bit. So best to wait.
