Forum Speed

Generally slower over a dialup connection, certainly not noticably faster, with more security wickets than my bank account site including ( I think ) TWO userID's and TWO passwords and at least one warning about "best viewed with M$ IE". My rating would be two giant steps backward !!

Interesting. It's significantly faster here on cable. Page loads are almost instantaneous.

Once you've got the cookies on your machine, log in should be a snap. For what it's worth, I'm using Mozilla Firefox as my browser and it works fine.

We're going from two user ID's and passwords, to one user ID and password. The OLD site, between the plain jane MOA site and secure services (where, for example, you'd register for a rally), used two different logins. Now you'll use just one. There will be some bumps in the road, but you should see an improved user experience.
 
faster service

It seems faster here just have to get used to the changes.

Good job "Geek Squad"

Yeh Dad,
I'm on cable and the pages are almost instantaneous where before there was a 10 second (or more) delay on loading.

Most of the web team is using non Microsoft Browsers so that is surprising. If it pops up again, can you tell us where it pops up?

For me, I now have a reason to go wired instead of wireless, cause it is even faster now than my wireless can serve the pages.
:brad :bolt

How's the speed folks? It is still the fastest of the forums I visit in any given day or week.
 
Way faster

The forum really moves along now, getting the most out my cable internet access. It seems like a great improvement to me! Thanks.

You need some cookies enabled, and nothing will ever look fast with dialup.

Works just fine. Picture heavy threads load quite well. Happy happy joy joy. :D
