XDA Forums are much better on 3.1

With the changes to WebView and 3.1's updated CSS support, I believe it's corrected many of the issues with XDA's forums on the Xoom.

I loaded it up and it's running 10x better. I can finally scroll smoothly through the forums without having to resort to the 'XDA Classic' theme.

This is great :D

But if on the verizon network, the forums suck up data quick with advertisements and peoples unnecissary footers.

Browser rendering in general is much improved.

The vBulletin typing on sites like XDA is still unbearably laggy. There's a 2 second delay between key press and the letter appearing.

i was gonna say the opposite really. Browsing these forums is unbeleivably laggy and typing messages is horrendous.
I was thinking maybe that was an issue with using the us software on my xoom, but I guess not.

My experiences are similar. The text inputs are terrible... but with 3.1, the forum page rendering is much faster.

by the way, is it just me or it is common issue that my xda app downloaded from the Market ALWAYS fc if I logged in then next time I open it, I am guest in that app again...

In that way it successfully blocked every my effort to log in or save a favourite forum in my xoom through that app...

Any fix to this?

Thanks!

Pink boxes? The update actually made your device slower? Maybe you need to preform a factory reset

I'm using the TDR 3.1 rooted kernel and the keyboard is fine. I experienced the lag on the BRD 3.1 rooted kernel. The TDR supports over-clocking and I just flipped that on, works great. I also use the SlideIT soft keyboard which is working nicely. I was having problems with long posts on phpbb forums before 3.1 which is no longer a problem, yay. Things are looking up.
