First, the pages on this site load so slowly. Why is that? It cant just be this antediluvian computer because I dont have this problem with most other sites.
Second, whats up with all of the "commercials"? Sometimes it seems like every second or third page has a pop-up ad on it (which further slows the page loading). Today is not so bad. Only one ad so far. I understand the idea of having someone sponser the site in exchange for ad space, but some days there are so many more than others
Finally, I thought the purpose of moving threads to another forum was to keep them from cluttering up the forums where they dont belong, but they just end up on both forums thereby defeating the purpose of moving them.
Now, my compliment to the administrator and moderators of this site. It's much better than the fan club message boards by far. They could stand to take some lessons from whoever designed these forums. Its nice to have a few places I can go for the latest news and discussion about Shania.

Ah, you have found the well of my frustration! :shocked: :p

So, you mean that it stays on the original forum as moved?
Can look messy for sure..
It is so that members can find their posts when they return..


Also causing cluttering is if a member posts a thread in the correct forum.. well another member just posts a double to the Shania Main Forum :smirk:

The main Shania Forum has a rate about a page of new replies/threads in 12 hours.. info gets easily lost..
If the "new thread" button would be hidden for the first 10 minutes someone logs on, they would have found the info they were looking for or the correct existing thread to post on.. :p

Well, it has been a very busy coupla months and it will continue for a while still, maybe things will calm down from the chaos of today :) But the main thing is: Shania is back! :D
