Hello Codeforces Community.
While browsing Codeforces, I noticed that some pages are handling large amounts of data inconsistently.
Almost all pages on Codeforces use pagination: Problemset, submissions, standings, etc., and because of this, navigation is really fast.
But the Codeforces group members' page has no pagination in usage.
For groups with a lot of members, this creates a few issues:
- That takes a while to load the page.
- It becomes difficult to navigate or search for members.
- Browsers freeze or lag when all members are loaded.
- It is inefficient compared with the rest of the site's design.
- Because all members will be shown on the page, which makes it take more time to simply view or analyze group members, especially large or official groups.
I post this to ask:
Is there a technical reason this page doesn’t use pagination?
Are there plans to improve it in the near future? I’d be interested to hear thoughts from the community or the Codeforces team.
I have this problem too. Opening the members page for big groups is slow and sometimes my browser lags. Scrolling through all members is much annoying.
Now I know why my celeron device get crush every time :)
This is a really annoying problem that can kill your enthusiasm.
I completely agree that adding basic pagination would greatly enhance performance and navigation because loading all members at once makes large Codeforces groups slow and difficult to use.
