The Java applet no longer loads and loooads. All the stuff seems to be there, and could it even be a tad faster on my slow dial up?

See what happens I guess. 

I've been havin' problems latetly with pages that won't load completely , then have to back page & try again as they will normally load on the second attempt .   Also sometimes the smiley window won't load .

 Well, I spoke (as in wrote) too soon. The animated Star Dome/Star Atlas isn't there anymore, but I don't give a hoot about that thing anyway.

Sometimes all the adds and etc. are showing, but not the actual text of the forum itself, I just reclick and it seems to come back correctly.
