I agree one hundred percent. I have commented frequently that it reminds me of a magnetized Harley Davidson motorcycle weaving slowly back and forth through the aisles of an old Wester Auto store with ever known cheap accessory sticking to every exposed metal surface. Every picture, every link, every Java Script, every sound, every little fancy bar or flower or whatever extra adds seconds to download. Clean it up! K.I.S.S.

I think they are trying to work out the kinks. I'll give them the the benefit of that doubt. I would like to see a linkage to be able to go in and change some account details such as my screen name ? I think "Your Account Details" should be a hot link on every page where comments are allowed. I'd also like to see "replies" put back on individual comments. Right now we can add a new comment, but many times one would rather address a specific comment ?

I've tried without response to tell the OS web designers that the more "gimmicks" you put on the page, the slower it loads. Every Java Script, every image, every sound, every link, slows things down. This is without a doubt the primary mistake most beginnere web page creators make. Every bar, every banner, every background surface, every little cute flower, etc. makes a fancy looking web page but when it loads so slowly people give up and click to go somewhere else that pops right up for them they won't be back.

We used to have a sight gag joke about a "magnetized Harley Davidson motorcycle weaving slowly back and forth between aisles in a Western Auto Store to resemble what some web pages look like when the designers just toss in any and everything so that the page is blinking and flashing and things are popping up all over, voices chiming in, music playing etc.

For God' sake, take a hint from Drudge.
