Use Google's Hosted jQuery

Forumotion hosts jQuery somewhere, I'm not sure where, but I suggest that Forumotion uses the jQuery library hosted by Google at http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.1/jquery.min.js

It will help Forumotion to save bandwidth costs. And most people will load the jQuery library faster as most other sites uses the library hosted by Google. And it has already cached in almost everyone's browser since most huge sites uses it.

For more information see here: http://encosia.com/2008/12/10/3-reasons-why-you-should-let-google-host-jquery-for-you/

My forum uses the jQuery library to enhance functionalities, so I would like this implemented to give my users a better and faster surfing experience. It takes only a few minutes to implement this onto our forums, so I hope the Forumotion techs can work this one out.


To people who have no idea what I've just said, it improves your forum's loading speed and performance!

Apart from that, Foumotion is using an older version of jQuery. They are using 1.3.2 but the new version is 1.4.1.

I voted yes for this yesterday.

This would be more than helpful when coding anything, and would allow forumotion to stay more up-to-date when Technology itself updates.

Just realised that forumotion has already implemented this. They're now using Google's packed jquery. Which means it will save their bandwidth and our loading time.

Thank you forumotion!
