I have noticed in the last few days that Film-Tech has been very slow. Have others had this problem or is it just me? Thanks. John

No problems here. And I usually have Windows on the verge of crashing with 8 or 9 apps going all at once.

It may have been slow a good chunk of last evening/night as I was typing up resources with everyone's new pictures, but even accessing it as I am tonight from a laptop and AOL dialup, it seems pretty zippy. It's probably with your ISP.

Film-Tech is optimized for AOL and is the only ISP that we think is "kick ass". Does anyone dare to disagree? I didn't think so. Life wouldn't be worth living if it wasn't for AOL.

I haven't noticed any change on Film Tech, but the Schneider page either responds Extremely slow or not at all. That's been going on for the last week or so------------------

Thanks for the info. I bet it is my ISP because I have a new DSL service in town and they are still working out the bugs. As far as AOL is concerned, I have not used it much but what I have used on it i can't see why people would use it. 
Im sure I must be missing something though.

Could it be that now that everyone has a "mug shot", the added data for the graphics just takes a bit longer to download? 
Might not be noticable on a high speed cable modem or DSL, but a slow modem might take a few seconds longer per page.------------------
