Browsing and Posting are slower

I'm not noticing these delays on any other forums and I've performed the typical cleaning of cookies, internet temp files, adaware scans, etc., .


I would advise investigating comparing browsing speeds between the new shrapnel forums and other forums on the internet.

I had noticed a bit of slowdown as well, which for the most part I had attributed to the kinks not being worked out yet, and people continuing to manipulate the system behind the scenes.

It's a good point that all of those little images and banners do tend to slow page loading noticeably in most cases.

All that is bearable enough, but on the old forums using back button was almost instantaneous, and now it completely reloads the page, which with the much slower load times, is really frustrating.
