>>I did that earlier when I switched and tried IE. I just did it again now (actually closed and opened up the main page again) and the behavior is still there. Sometimes it is actually terrible - no response at all and other times it is just sluggish and then it suddenly on one message will be instantaneous. Go figure...

Just tested again. Clicking on the refresh messages button at top refreshed the bottom frame but not the top. I could not see the messages and lost them all when I had refresh again.

However, no other websites are demonstrating any slowness at all... And Naomi is in Wisconsin. But as you say, hopefully it will be resolved tomorrow :o)
