arrgghhh....finally can manage to post.
I have to say that this new layout and everything is not working
for me.
connection from both home and office is veeery slow, prone to
hanging etc. hopethe issues get ironed out eventually.
still, no complaints because I'm not paying any $$$ to use
this forum 
I have the same problem.. so i block images from this site so
that its just text. Slightly faster.. but my ff will hang if I'm
logged in sgf for too long.
So now, i have to get used to logging out if I'm not around my
computer. Previously, I just leave it on, refresh when I come back
and re-login.. now if I leave it, it'll just hang..
:(
