It must be a nightmare on a dial up!.

It is. A self search takes four minutes and freezes me up so I can't do anything else (I connect at 56K). Lastest posts is extremely difficult to read (the right hand side is unreadable) and it too takes minutes to load. Been on 30 minutes this morning and I've been able to read one thread (this one). I can't see newbies doing anything but coming here and clicking off. It is a real shame. FR was the place to go for up to the minute news and comment. If anyone comments on my comments, don't expect a reply. I may never see it.

I have DSL and it's still slow as molasses with all the searching and seeking I'm doing on here. OH well, overcome and adapt, but alot of people are not posting anymore and that is worrisome. I would hate to see FR loose steam and lurkers because the site has become too complicated to use.

It must be a nightmare on a dial up!.

It is...

A lot of us in "fly-over country" only have dial-up service, and many can't get higher than 37K. If FR is trying to get rid of us by going to a forum program that has lots of bells and whistles, but takes forever to load, this will do it. And "fly-over" country is where FR's conservative base resides.
