An easy way to speed up the site
Web pages (what you're looking at now) are made up of text called HTML. If you right click this page and hit View Page Source (or equivalent), you'll be able to see it. Now, some of the things in there are called elements. For example, near the top of the HTML you can see a line that looks like this:[quote][/quote]Elements within the HTML also have things called attributes, which is what I've underlined for you (there are three).
Here's the problem: If you look at each of the attributes in the HTML for all of Bungie.net's pages, they're all [b][u]double quotes[/u][/b]!
If the Web Team replaced all of the double quotes with single quotes, there wouldn't be so many characters that need to be sent. Thus, there would be less bandwidth being because the page sizes are smaller, reducing the strain on Bungie's servers and your connection. It's a win for everyone!
I implore the Web Team to implement this change in the next site update.
-
Speaking of changes... When is the next website update? Anyone knows? No? Oh well.
-
Lol, I'm so lost...

[quote][/quote] Well, there's your problem, it's 2012!

We should just take the HTML, and push it somewhere else!

Those are HTML entities, or "HTML-safe" strings used to prevent security problems like XSS. If you tried to write an attrib like that, it wouldn't load. OT: Lol, I can't see this making more of a few ms difference. I've always thought it was standard practice to use double quotes for HTML attributes -- in fact, I go out of my way to do it. I write my js with single quotes and my HTML with double. Actually, wait a second. Is

That went way over my head. I know how to view page source and can understand bits and pieces, but this is totally above my knowledge base. So....nice catch? BTW Party for Apple Blossom. Kudos to anyone who knows what this is.

This is why I don't like single quotes even though it may save a couple bytes here and there. Example: It just looks weird having single quotes inside and outside the parentheses or maybe I am just old-fashioned. [Edited on 05.01.2012 3:23 PM PDT]

It would be quite interesting to get the opinion of someone from the webteam on this matter.
-
I don't uh....I don't get this thread...

Nerd.

It might take it easier on the servers (more than negligibly), but I doubt much effect will be had on individual users.
-
Will this make that much of a difference though? The site isn't slow for me. It can be slow at times but very rarely. Like I just said the only real concern about this would be if it's even worth it.

What keeps you coming back??

[/quote] Although this is true, the amount of optimization would be non-noticeable even on Bungie's scale. Now if Bungie had an extreme amount of hits(Facebook or Yahoo level), then maybe. Also, like an earlier post says, it would be the same amount of characters anyways. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you don't even need quotes anymore according to W3C.

I don't understand HTML enough to know if this thread was originally a joke or turned into one.
-
There would be the same amount of characters.
-
We should just divide the quotes by 0.

I don't know enough about HTML to neither confirm nor deny if what Daz is saying is feasible, however, if it is, I don't see why this shouldn't be implemented.

One month from people being threatened with bans for april fools threads to this -blam!-e. To the day. Classy.

No. If the community can't accept change in the halo games, why would they accept it on the website?
