It takes forever to upload or login. I miss the simplicity of the old version.

Even with my DSL or high speed internet connection, it is just sooooooo painfully slow.

Am I the only one who has this problem? I don't enjoy this site as much now.
You are not the only one; I have a high speed connection too (faster than DSL, FWIW), and it's coming up slowly. I also have a faster connection at work and have encountered the same. Hopefully they'll get the kinks worked out with the new interface, but in the meantime, I don't enjoy the site as much.

I would rather have something fast and simple without the bells and whistles (like NWA without IFE) than something slow and complex with bells and whisteles (i.e. another carrier with IFE that constantly plays advertising and previews over the open PA)..


Anyway, I plan on giving it time as I suspect it'll take a bit to get things optimized with the new interface.

Cheers,
