i dunno but I love this board.  I think it is the safest and most reliable...slow or not...

How much slower than that can it get?

I'm using the old site. The new site is to blah for me. You know how us old guys are.... checkerd pants and a plaid jacket with a cool pokadot tie.

This new site is DEFINATELY loading slower than the older one. Discussion boards, reviews, the works; all running 50%-100% slower.

It seems fine to me, no problem loading and boards seem to work better too. Although I can't log-in to the new site with my Palm Pilot, I use the old ver. for that. Overall I think the colors and feel are better. I don't have to PANIC when someone comes into the room, and might see the jiggling boobies banner!
TER keep it clean and subdued.

The new board is really slow. I have found myself using it less, since I can't just pop in and out anymore. Using the old board is a short term solution, but my experiences with software updates in the past is that support and updates for the old versions soon end.
