I go out of my way to shop at CW so they will have lots of money to fix the site. I also subscribe to MH magazine for the same reason.

I agree with others, it seems to me that the access has really improved over the past year--at least for me. I also believe that Microsoft Vista is a much faster and more powerful platform than their XP version.
I have had very few instances where I could not get on or was timed out in the last few months.

I haven't had too many issues accessing the site over the past few months...maybe once a month the loading was delayed.

However, the "mouse-over" of the subject lines is acting strangely. When I mouse over the subject, I get a huge box with empty space at the top and the text near the bottom. Me thinks some setting was "updated" and now is not performing as before. The flashing mouseover box was present on a couple instances. Mostly now its the large box with too much empty space.

Free comes with its quirks. Even at double the price I'm currently paying, I would come here.

I believe what they are complaining about is the normal mouse-over preview box that lets you see the first line or two of a message. (it's not some kind of flashing ad)

I used the feature all the time in the past, and it's annoying now to say the least to have it mis-function this way. I am sure it's wrong now and they will soon fix it. I did find that if I carefully slide my cursor over the first letter or two of the message title from the left side of the screen, as least the box does not flash, and it holds still long enough to preview it. But it's still huge empty box with the few lines of print appearing at the bottom of the box.

Moderator, has the web designer been notified of this malfunction yet?

Thanks to all who make this list a great place to visit!

No, what I am complaining about is the system completely locking up. More and more lately. It is easy to see when problems happen. There will be a string of double posts.

I don't remember it happening over the last few years, but over the last 2-3 months, it happens ALL THE TIME. At least 5 times per day, it will lock up.

Let me say, Yes, the mods are doing a great job. This is not their faults and has nothing to do with them in a negative way. The "System" is screwed up. The mods are wonderful.

I get a big yellow box with the text at the bottom and the spell check isn't working for me. It keeps saying restart.

I have no problems or worries but I would like to know why I get this large yellow box flashing at me when I point on a topic.
