quick comments:

Things seem to move a good slower. Animated gifs and typing especially (takesa while for key strokes to be echoed on the screen)

Also, why are there unhappy faces on the Newest Member, Birthdays and Users Online headings?
The scientific method," Thomas Henry Huxley once wrote, "is nothing but the normal working of the human mind." That is to say, when the mind is working; that is to say further, when it is engaged in corrrecting its mistakes. Taking this point of view, we may conclude that science is not physics, biology, or chemistry—is not even a "subject"—but a moral imperative drawn from a larger narrative whose purpose is to give perspective, balance, and humility to learning.

(trying out this Quick Reply thingy...lol)
I think AOL 8 has a problem with CAA for some reason...it doesn't log me in right when I try to access it through the AOL software. It says I'm in the active users list, but it still says "welcome visitor" at the top and won't let me do anything that requires being logged in. What the...? But, if I access the page -outside- the AOL, with just plain old Internet Explorer, it works just fine.

I just thought I'd say something about that...in case there are any other AOLers out there having trouble.

okay if loading times are slower, that's probably down to the script kiddies packet flooding our host. they've been under attack for quite a few hours now.. one of the servers had to be shut down... it's because of that july 6th hacker contest. i've put all the other standard optimisations on, as for animated gifs and typing, what browser are you using? i've tested this thing on ie 6 and mozilla :)

clear your cache.. the old images are still in there, you should see a yellow arrow instead. i got this problem too :)

sounds like a cookie problem... because you are using aol software there is little i can do to fix this. sorry :(

again, try clearing your caches and deleting your old internet files

Could be an options issue then. I'm running IE 4.0 and Win98

the new version uses lots of javascript... much more than the old one. perhaps that's interfering?
