Members Area

#2rjuz1f

Images now use "lazy loading" by default across the members area, which should reduce bandwidth, improve network usage and decrease loading times.

It works by only fetching images that are within or near the visible viewport (viewable area of the page in the browser window), so if a user doesn't scroll down a page then the images lower down the page won't be retrieved.

Image galleries/slideshows also use lazy loading to only retrieve the next image in the slideshow, this will improve performance with large galleries on initial page loads.

Miscellaneous

Updated Events list layout on mobile devices for better legibility
