Seems we’ve entered Board Tweak Experiment, Phase II.

Is it my imagination, or did someone disable the different color envelope icons? You know, the ones where it tells you if there are unread posts.

I know I didn’t every really rely on those icons anyway. It seems to me that now that they’re turned off, the board are flying!

Please leave it that way!

Well I feel dumb.

I guess it was my imagination (or my computer, or my net connection).

I guess you and I have different definitions for the term “lightning-fast.” Yes, it is back to normal speed after grinding to a virtual halt on Monday and part of Tuesday, but I still wouldn’t dream of using “lightning-fast” to describe anything about this board.
