I just had to switch it off, after experiencing long delays. Like I said before, it would be (almost) OK for Jiglu to sometimes load slowly, but when it holds most of my sidebar content from loading, I have no choice but remove it.

PS, the fold threshold is set at 10 items. You can reduce or increase that as you want

I will ask the developers to look, but certainly loading a dozen or so pages at the moment, I’m not seeing any delay at all, and I’m not much closer to the servers that you are… Maybe a temporary network bottleneck?

But I am still seeing the delay we discussed above.

It would be OK for the Jiglu widget to take a little time, if only it wouldn’t hold the rest of the sidebar content from loading.

Nigel, great, in two ways:

- I really think this is a lot better, as you can see your widget is back now:-)

- It shows you guys listen and act fast!

And we’re back…

“Folding” no longer dependent on having the inline links turned on

Over to you!

Hi Zoli

1. Number of tags is very dependent on the content of the blog. If we’ve tagged it, it means that there is other relavant stuff in your blog.

We have the ability to change the way we produce tags dynamically, and will in time provide some settings that users can use to do this themselves.. You can also.

2. we’re looking at the best way to balance this at the moment. fix next week

3. We deliberately use the dotted underline to show that it’s NOT and editorially generated link. we want to reader to be able to differentiate. that said, the point is well made, and I’ll feed it back round the development loop. we have a vast amount of things we’re putting into the product, and it’s a timing issue!

thanks again for giving it a go

Nigel, I played with it again, but will have to remove it until you come up with a fix. The issues I see for now:

too low level of granularity producing far too many tags.
the hyperlink setting in the text body should not be a condition of auto-hide
make the hyperlinks less obtrusive. My manually defined URL's show up in blue; your hyperlinks are both blue and have the dotted underline. This makes it really difficult to find my own links, which obviously changes editorial intention, but also makes the entire text harder to read, for reason#1 above. If you only did the dotted line in the color of regular text, that would be an improvement. But even then, #2 stands...

Thanks, and I hope to be able to try it again.

Re: Update 2

If you don’t have the hyperlinks setting on (which marks up the text to show the links to other content), then the widget displays in full (usually it shrinks if you have more than 20 items displaying).

If you have a lot of tags, this can use up a lot of room.

We’re looking at a number of options concerning widget folding at the moment, and we’ll post something as soon as we have an update.

http://blog.jiglu.com/knowledge/+atom and http://support.jiglu.com/tags/topics/tagging-faq+atom are the two feeds we use for announcements.

Thanks again for giving us a go
