Subject: Loading web pages (Slow / Fast) ???
  Hello everyone,

We have been wondering about the speed of this web site. Is it slow or fast enough? Sometimes slow, sometimes fast? Always fast. Any other problems / issues while browsing. Any other suggestions?

We value your opinions and it will make a difference if we can help. Thank you for your time for your input.

Certain threads take longer to load, but it is quite hard to reproduce the effect (means if I right click on certain thread, it takes good 5 secs or more to open it...).
Thats my 2 Cent.
Thanks

Sharon,
What do you mean by "quick way to back out of a thread"?

Hi Admin:

The speed is fine for me. Going back & fwd of a thread is also easy for me...I just use the "Back & Fwd" buttons of explorer.

Other Suggestion: The red banner on top is too big and bad for the aesthetics...similarly when reading the posts the ads should not come inside the box of the 1st post + if they could be placed at the bottom & sides instead of top.

One more suggestion: It would add lot of value if one could distinctively see (some sign) the posts one had replied to when re-logging to the website. I guess it can be done with the help of cookies.

The speed is ok, but the search is limited to 10 results only!
can you fix it?

Hello again and thank you for your comments.

Yes, this is really important one - that users / visitors can see the the difference between new / read / replied threads. Will have to work on this, it will save you a lot of time.

Number of search results increased to 20 results. This should be pleanty, if it is not within those 20, then you are probably using a wrong keywords to find what you are looking for.

Ads, hm, that is always a problem where to put them. To keep them on eye catching location, yet to make sure it is not on the way. If it is not on the way, then number of clicks drops down and loop continues. They are important for two reasons, they keep the web site going and they are related to the topic (at least to immigration) and therefore, hopefuly helpful to many of you as well.

Happy browsing,
