Lagginess Tips....

"...In the meantime, when playing Booty Grab it's best to minimize the forum window behind the game. You'll get a better experience that way. Many of you have pointed this out already but I wanted to create a sticky to let some of the new users know..."

How to Reduce or Kill Your Lag Issues & Get Higher Scores

•Flash 10.1 works wonderfully for this
---NOTE:
------1st download is for windows (not Internet Explorer)
------2ed download is for windows (Internet Explorer)
------3ed download is for macs
------4th download is for linux
•Shrinking the booty grab window cuts the lag a lot.
•If you can't resize the popup go to about:config and paste "dom.disable_window_open_feature.resizable" in the filter bar (without quotes) set the value to true (dubble click it) this is for Mozilla based browsers.
•Decent resizing now requires Gaia Booty Grab Auto Re-Sizer (unless you just want extra large and large)
•Setting quality to low helps immensely. (bottom left of booty grab game).
•Setting your screen resolution to 16 bit mode instead of 32 bit mode helps a lot.
•The more RAM you have in your computer the better.
•K-Meleon seems to do a good job at lowering lag. (Adblock Plus)
•If you cant move during a game press press the 'window key' and the 'D' key. Picture of 'window key'
•If you tap the tank like crazy before the count down the fish will move less(less movement=less lag)
---NOTE:
------Does not work on watermeat and some monsters

Notes:
•Blocking fish and the outside of the tank disable the ability to play booty grab.

I made a Greasemonkey script for this a while back when aquariums first came out to remove aquariums from signatures because they covered the post.
Remove Junk From Gaia Signatures
Since Booty Grab Came out I made the following:
Remove Junk From Gaia Signatures NOT Aquariums
Remove Junk From Gaia Signatures (Toggle Aquariums) Last update Oct 21, 2009
Gaia Booty Grab Auto Re-Sizer Last Updated Jun 24, 2009
I love css code and i'm getting better at JavaScript. biggrin

Those experiencing extreme lag could probably use a option to disable/remove flash in signatures.
EDIT:
Someone took my advice and I thank them. heart

Although it needs some work in guilds.
