Hey! The toolkits (or whatever it is called) hasn't always taken some time to fully load, has it?
Is this a result of that one thing (whatever that one thing was; I forgot what it was; sorry)?

Can you remind me about what the toolkits are?

Those little boxes that show up when you put your cursor over someone's avatar.

What a coincidence. When I saw your question, I didn't even read it and started hovering my cursor over your avatar. I saw that "loading fan status" thingy again, and was about to post a complaint/suggestion about it. Thank God I asked you, or it'd have been two different yet same live discussions. lol

This loading is the result of "Shadowfiend's Great OpenStudy Demolition(tm)" 
;P

Since I have no coding experience, and don't run this site, I'd await for the admins' reply. Thanks!

Hey guys,

So, the truth of the matter is that things are taking about the same time as they always did to load. The difference is we're now displaying the tooltip before we get any of that information from the server. We used to wait until all the data was in to display the tooltips. This created issues when we were under heavy load.

Now, we display the tooltip immediately and lazy load the other information. If we're in the middle of a GC cycle or the Actor is backed up, it could take a second for everything to appear. However, this has always been the case.
