I'm in the same boat... I can barely read this thing now. Hope I can get used to it soon.

Subject: Less. At dial up speeds it's now a chore not a community...

I'm definitely checking it less than ever (which might be a good thing really)...With all the pictures, add-ons and personalized bells and whistles people are putting on their posts (including myself) it's takes forever and a day to load more often than not. (I'm stuck in a rural area with only 26k dial up available.) The new format reminds me of that SNL sketch where Tim Meadows is the news anchor for MSNBC and is slowly covered over by news tickers and pop-ups until he's finally hunched in the corner of the screen and all you can see are his eyes...

...I know it's more powerful and better for the admin side and that's what really matters, but I tinker with cars not computers and learning 'new tricks' isn't something I have time or interest in, especially at dial up speeds. I see myself only checking the site when I need info now, which kinda takes the community feel out of it a bit. Maybe it's time to buy a CS and head over to e9coupe.com where the board is still pure and simple...like the cars we love. Kidding of course, but this new site feels "Bangled" a bit...

that kind of sucks! we are on the rents' DSL line while we are here in cali but when we get back to alabama its going to be DIALUP HELL. I guess disabling images in the browser would help... lessee... havent tried that one in a while..

page loads a hell of a lot faster now, even though all those images are in the cache by now. the way i did it was in the "Advanced" tab under tools, options. just a thought.

you boys are breakin my heart....

those damn admin...such intolerance

here's a little pickmeup....you may know the beat

Quote:
I turn on the tube and what do I see
A whole lotta people cryin’ ’don’t blame me’
They point their crooked little fingers ar everybody else
Spend all their time feelin’ sorry for themselves
Victim of this, victim of that
Your momma’s too thin; your daddy’s too fat

Get over it
Get over it
All this whinin’ and cryin’ and pitchin’ a fit
Get over it, get over it

You say you haven’t been the same since you had your little crash
But you might feel better if I gave you some cash
The more I think about it, old billy was right
Let’s kill all the lawyers, kill ’em tonight
You don’t want to work, you want to live like a king
But the big, bad world doesn’t owe you a thing

Get over it
Get over it
If you don’t want to play, then you might as well split
Get over it, get over it

It’s like going to confession every time I hear you speak
You’re makin’ the most of your losin’ streak
Some call it sick, but I call it weak

You drag it around like a ball and chain
You wallow in the guilt; you wallow in the pain
You wave it like a flag, you wear it like a crown
Got your mind in the gutter, bringin’ everybody down
Complain about the present and blame it on the past
I’d like to find your inner child and kick it’s little ass

Get over it
Get over it
All this bitchin’ and moanin’ and pitchin’ a fit
Get over it, get over it

Get over it
Get over it
It’s gotta stop sometime, so why don’t you quit
Get over it, get over it


oh...almost forgot to vote , i've been here a lot more because of all the crying going on....it's the girl in me, i guess

just tryin to do my part in the faq relief aid, ya know
