Is anybody else's access to AWAD slow as molasses these days. It is quite annoying. I have to wait a good while for everything Oh, and just for my own personal edification. What is with the big harsh black line at the top of the screen? Seems a little severe, somewhat akin to correctional institutions. Did we not like the old cheerful AWAD headings?

Dear belMarduk: I have not noticed much change in accessing AWADtalk. I shut down with Main Index in view. so when I come back, I come directly to Main Index. But once there, I have annoying delays, which I suspect are fault of my service provider, since comparable delays occur at other sites. Changing from Q&A to Miscellany may take only a couple seconds, or a couple minutes. Don't let it get you, I enjoy your posts and would regret being deprived of them.

belMarduk asks:

Yes, for a couple of weeks it has been that slow and while you were away, we were actually deprived of AWAD completely. There was a whole thread where people described how they coped with the withdrawal symptoms.
What is with the big harsh black line at the top of the screen? Seems a little severe, somewhat akin to correctional institutions. Did we not like the old cheerful AWAD headings?
Also, while you were away someone said something like "hey, isn't it about time for a change around here?" and there was a flurry of design suggestions, color combinations, placement of headings, etc, etc. There is a whole thread on that also. (Sorry I forgot what it was called)
I must confess I did look forward to seeing some exciting innovations, what with all the hoopla about it.
I know that mournful black strip was not one of the suggested change.
Anyway, I know how severe the withdrawal symptoms are when deprived of AWAD, so I ain't complaining.

What a shame Jazz. Your concept was quite nice and seemed so much, well, friendlier, is the best word I think. Thanks for having taken the trouble.

Well, it was fun working on the designs, and I even got to talk to the Great Anu, so I'm not bitter, just mildly disappointed.

Do we know why the Harsh Black Line won out over the much more pleasant designs put forth by our musical octopod? I assume it was a decision by the mighty Anu among the various options, but the one we've ended up with is pretty lackluster, and some of Jazzo's were really quite nice.

Maybe it's business-like.

If your business is unimaginative.

>Is anybody else's access to AWAD slow as molasses these days. Tee hee. If you are on the board when the largest on-line population in the world is fast asleep it is wonderfully fast. Ya'll sleeping at the wrong time - you should be here in your wee small hours with me, the Kiwis and MrB. Have a look at this to see the size of the problem: http://www.internettrafficreport.com/
