Ugly HTML code spit out by UBB
 

WebFlyer tech team,

It's hard not to take notice of how inefficient the HTML code to render the UBB pages is. With a bit of HTML optimization, one can easily cut down the size of the generated page by 25% (my guess) and making use of CSS will go even further. A reduction in the size of rendered pages that have to be spit out by the FT server certainly lowers cost and boosts performance. So, is there any way to clean up this messy code somewhat? Or are you stuck with what you get from InfoPop?

Yeah, the code UBB comes with isn't the most finely-tuned around http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

We've talked about messing with the template code before, but we've held off on any major changes mainly to stay upgrade-ready. That way "our" version was still close enough to UBB's original so we could apply patches and upgrades from them without having to code down again.

Now that UBB/InfoPop has changed to a completely different implementation, we should be able to make some more changes, especially html-wise, that may clean the code up a bit.
