Paul,
I am just curious how much time does it take to load?
Do you have a high speed connection or just dial up?
I don't see a long page load time however if others a having problems with the load time we will change it.
Also the only pages that it is on is the home page and the forums pages so when you say the it take a lot of time to go from page to page are you referring to the forum pages?
And if so would it be ok to place it on Just the main forum page and not all of the other forum pages?
Thank you for you "2 cents".
