Ok i've found a bad side. Not strictly bad - more annoying.

Occasioanlly the edges of the page go white and the text goes an odd shade of blue that means it's hard to read.

This is not good.

That might explain why last night when I clicked on the meteor thread I was given the carnivore/herbivore thread and wasn't allowed to go anywhere else.. Although I did wonder about divine intervention..

I've noticed that with my T3 connection, it's actually a bit slower. That's probably because my connection was so darned fast before that it takes longer to decompress the page than it does to just load the thing when it's not compressed.

That said, having it take 1.5 seconds versus 1 second with a T3 is not worth slowing everyone else back down.

I'm beginning to think I imagined the blue text. Cos it's not happened since I mentioned it. But I have had white edges again. The many body of the page is fine. It just has white borders (where the slightly darker grey should be - around the header banner and down the sides etc)

I'm using MSN Explorer. Not sure what version but I assume it's the latest one.
