Thanks to all of you who helped us troubleshoot the category map loading issue. At this point we believe the most likely explanation is that those of you impacted have certain internet explorer 'addons' that are interfering with our ability to send the rather large category page to your browsers. We haven't isolated which common plugin, toolbar, spyware or whatever exists on all the browsers with trouble, but we continue to look.
In the mean time we have deployed a restructuring of the data to work around this limitation. This change *only* breaks the category data into chunks to help workaround this issue. It does not make the category loading faster or otherwise different. We'll continue to investigate other category selector methods [who knows we may wind up with *three* methods like poor old eBay as wound up having to deploy on their end :-)].
Please let us know if new issues arise out of this change. |
