      Meanwhile though, that's why I suggested Firefox or Safari, because if there's an error you can hit BACK and the form is re-populated.



    Quote:
    I've actually found Firefox - at least the way mine is set - doesn't save pages. With IE I can recover my work if I remember to go offline then use the back button.


Hmm...that works with the Mac version. I do know Safari and Opera save the form text.

    The delays are intermittent but often occur when I try to open several pages in rapid succession - say when I'm tab-opening half a dozen replies to read later.

    Sometimes the page simply fails because only half the HTML downloads. If I View Source the text simply stops part way through the document (at different places each time).



    Quote:
    Sometimes the page fails right as it first opens, before I even get an "opening page mangacool..." message at the bottom of the browser.






    Quote:
    Yet other times I get "privacy warning" and then the page fails.



    Quote:
    Sometimes I get a page downloaded except that the background is white, the previous text that usually appears in a box nowaways is quoted in full on the generated page, and all the text is centred.


Except for the Privacy Warning (I'm not even sure what would cause that) the rest of it are symptoms of slow/dropped connections. Just today I experienced it on my iPhone while out of the house, so AT&T's 3G network is a victim as well. I'm going to have to get support to figure this out somehow.

    Another strange thing I've noticed lately is that when I call up pages on my laptop, which I still use on 800x600 resolution with IE6, I get scroll bars on the box with the main story text in it; the lines themselves go off the right of the page requiring a scroll on every line, effectively rendering the page unreadable.


That's weird, considering it's set to 90% of the window size.
