Ivillage message boards incredibly slow

Many times these boards are for all purposes not available because the pages either do not load, or take over a half-hour to load, or no page is available. Other notice? What's up?

The fancy buttons and bells do only come with the paid subscription. I also use Firefox, and it is frustrating that you have to code everything. I haven't tried using IE, but my understanding is that the message space has options for color, font, etc. more like you might find on an e-mail account.

*Some java apps just don't work as well in Firefox ... yet.*

LOL... in a past life I worked for Sun, so you might think that I would have been in a position to do something about that... except that I worked on the hardware side.

Steve ! So its all YOUR fault huh? *grin*

Actually I think its more a failing in the Mozilla program itself. At least I thought it was. You believe it is because Java is geared toward Microsoft too? Has Microsoft taken control of Sun now too? Microsoft is the DEVIL in disquise lol. Being in the IT industry myself I have come to hate them with a passion! That's sad too since my company only wants to run with Microsoft! I keep telling them there are great open source alternatives out there!

IE is worse than useless on my Mac, it makes it crash.
I hate IE.

Misty, I keep a cheat sheet on a desk top sticky with all the font codes I use, and just cut and paste them in.

CYE.

D'oh -- why didn't I think of that!



Great idea on the cut & paste Nenu!!!



I also thought I read somewhere about an add-on you could download for Firefox that would make all the "easy" buttons for html. Has anyone else heard of that?

LOL, I guess so. I wouldn't know about Microsoft taking over Sun, as I'm no longer there, but I totally agree about M$ being the DEVIL. Linux rocks!
