This new site format seems to be three or four times slower on my computer. I don't have the fastest computer but with the old one windows always came up in a second or two. Now it's taking an unusually long time. Anyone else find this to be the case? |

I'm finding it somewhat annoying to see the same freakin' banner with Dave's portrait while having to scroll down each and every time I have to read different pages. |

Way too slow...spend more time waiting than reading or answering posts. |

It takes a while to load because that idiotic banner has to load. Really, what a stupid idea. |

*beep* yeah!
On my Mac at home, it's not so bad because I can just use a new tab for a new page, but the whole one page at a time (on my office computer) in IE blows. It takes me at least 5 times longer to read and post. I can only imagine what a nightmare it would be had we not upgraded from 98 to XP over the summer. |

Way slower on my computer as well... Another reason to not read Dave's. |

Well it is Dave's site
But the banner does make this mighty awkward. |

Much quicker today for me - seems to be back to the speed it was before the change. Maybe they ironed out some kinks... |
