It's really slow for me too. I have comps to catch up on as well.

Hi folks,

We think a major part of the slowness issue this morning was the fact that everyone had to download a whole new set of images for the new Forum look.

Those of us whose browsers clear the cache whenever we close them will have to download the images every time we come to the site - so I hope the images aren't huge KB sizes. The forum is too slow to use like this - over 30 seconds to load a page - it's as if it's being ddos'd.

The new layout - well it looked "spacious", but the emphasis was taken away from forum and thread titles. The bright coloured buttons are horrendous - look totally out of place - very juvenile looking and don't match the general muted green/white scheme.

Change is good, but only when it's an improvement. I'll try it (new look) again after/if the speed goes back to normal. The old look pages don't load any faster, but at least they're not so irritating to look at

Has anybody any experience of baking bread in this micro or indeed any microwave ?

Hello,

I think I could get used to this - in fact, in many ways, I can see it's better.

BUT... it is terribly slow...

I love all the user interface enhancements - finally, user forums have made it into the 21st century!

Unfortunately, the speed degradation is totally unbearable. If you can 't fix that, I think you need to go back to the plain version.

Think the old look is better - think this is an MSE ploy to keep people logged in all the time to get the old look via the options. The new look is not good.
