Strange issue regarding http requests on boardindex

[Danny S.]

Good evening,

I'm currently designing a custom theme and noticed a strange issue while using a web page analyzer tool.

I'm trying to cut down on my http requests and I noticed that when I analyze my board index page, for some reason, it loads the following files:

     quick_lock.png
     quick_sticky.png
     quick_sticky_lock.png


These files are the lock and thumbtack icons that appear next to locked/sticky topics. But that's on the message index, not the board index.

I may be crazy, but these files shouldn't load on the board index, right?.

The analyzer states that it's pulling 3 http requests for about 700 bytes (small I know, but I'm a bit of a perfectionist).




P.S. I tested this on a fresh install of RC5 and it's pulling them too.




Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

You have a stupid browser.

The files aren't explicitly requested in the source - but they are listed in the CSS. It seems that your browser is loading them even though the CSS isn't being used...

I'm using the analyzer located here:

Not sure what browser they analyze in... probably IE if I had to guess...
