Website Update - Refresh
Based on user feedback, we've been trying to make changes to the website to improve load times.
We've made a few changes over the past couple weeks which modified how images from the site are loaded to your computers. As a result of these changes, some users who come back to buffalorising.com after visiting the site last week may not see new stories as soon as the site loads. If you are experiencing this problem, you simply need to hit the refresh button in your browser to load all the latest content. Once you hit refresh once and the new content loads, you will not have to refresh again on future visits.
We're continually looking at ways to make the site more user-friendly - including speeding up the site's load time and functionality. We don't anticipate future changes will create user issues but if they do we'll be sure to update users.

The County Budget: Revenue, Reduction, Restoration, Resol …
The Erie County Legislature has approved an amended 2009 Erie County budget in a "surgical approach" by accepting the amendments approved last week by the Finance, Management and Budget Committee, but - much to County Executive Chris Collins' dismay - eliminating his previously proposed tax rate increase.
By holding the line on property taxes, Collins' $1.2 billion proposal was cut by about $9.5 million, while providing for essential services such as public safety, health, huma … - Today, 12:00am

Hoyt Pulls Funding From West Side NHS
Ever since ArtVoice broke the news about the suspicious ousting of West Side housing activist Harvey Garrett from the board of West Side Neighborhood Housing Services, everyone has been wondering: What will happen next? Will this stick? Will there be some kind of investigation? When will the other shoe drop?
One dropped yesterday. In a letter to board Chairman Ramon Morales, Assemblyman Sam Hoyt announced his intention to pull his legislative initiative funding from West Side … - Yesterday, 5:10pm

Sabres V Preds Game 24
Four games in 6 nights certainly marks a rough patch in a schedule, and the Buffalo Sabres showed what kind of toll it can take by losing to the Nashville Predators 2-0 on home ice.
To be fair, both teams played an uninspired game from start to finish, which makes sense when you consider that the Predators played 3 games in 5 nights. There were few exciting scoring chances on either side of the ice and the game's pace was both stilted and broken. It was likely due to the coache … - Yesterday, 4:26pm

Kabab and Curry Express To Open In University District
From Hoss: "Is Kabob and Curry opening at the old Mondo location on Elmwood, or Main? I haven't been to their primary eatery on Transit, but I hear they serve the best Indian food around."
Kabab and Curry will open in about two weeks at the former Mondo Video location... approximately mid-December. I understand that it will be more of a take-out operation than the existing restaurant located on Transit Road. It appears as if the Transit eatery attracts a lot of university student … - Yesterday, 4:24pm

So reassuring to learn I am not the only one!
BTW: could you folks clean up my unwitting duplicate posts on the Bflo Control Bd public hearing thread?
Thanks,

Also if you could take down the 'channel sponser' advertisment for Cozumel. It annoys me that they are advertising 'specials' all week long for cinco de mayo. Guess what everyone, for the special price of 4 bucks, you can get a corona or various other mexican beer all week long. I'm really, 4 bucks is a 'special'! What is the regular price for mexican piss, 4.50 or 5 bucks a bottle? It just really bothers me, paying big city prices for a drink at some of these joints. If i was a 2 beer @#$% it wouldnt be a big deal, but on a nice hot summer afternoon, i can easily put back a good 7-10 of these suckers. I like place and would go there much more often if it wasn't for there insane drinks prices.

My only suggestions for the site is to *please* eliminate all the moving ads in the left-hand column (they're very distracting; can't you just have static ones? Or at least ones that stop moving after a few seconds, like most web magazines?) And also, I don't know why but for some reason the images on the main page often seem of much lower quality than they appear after I click the link. Maybe this is to reduce load times, but it still makes the site look a little shabby at times. Please understand that I mean these comments constructively. I really love reading Buffalo Rising!

It would be nice if when someone posted a response on a topic, that it would refresh the site and bring that article to the top of the list.
A lot of times, conversations grow stale because the article was from last week and on page 5.
Know what I mean?

I was getting filing work done while waiting for screens. Seems faster now. How about larger font here in the comment box so we can see our typooos. Now let's see how fast comment posting is.. Previously it took what seems like minutes!

Adding the above comment only took 35 seconds. I guess you still have some work to do.

DanielSack, depending on which browser you use you can increase the default font size within the software itself.

I would second the comment about aging stories. Maybe if there was a discussion channel that would keep an updated lists of the most active threads. That way it wouldn't get in the way of the normal chronological flow of the site but allow people to follow older stories before they disappear into the abyss of past pages.

Its always seems like when I subscribe to a article, I end up getting tons of dublicate new comments emailed to me. For instance I just subscribed to one article and was sent 3 of the same comment, a comment that was not even a new comment.
