I *am* on dialup. FR used to be one of the fastest pages (2nd only to google) for my computer to load.
Now I stare into space, wiping away drool while I wait on a self-search or a latest posts page to load.
On top of that, I need to keep FR open on *two* pages --one open to News/Activism, the other open to General Interests. I do this so I won't miss any good replies.
I came to FR from usenet because it was one of the few forums that was fast and simple. Now it is slow and complicated.
Same here. I was having to keep those 2 pages going, plus the pager and another one to check self-search" because the pager was only picking up the new posts for the news/activism forum. It was a pain in the butt, but I was managing. Now this! I presently have 8 windows open and am having a terrible time even remembering why.
