I agree on the active ads. Speedwise, it's still very good for me.

Yes, I have to agree about those ads, I was very unhappy when I saw them. They annoy me on any site. With regards to speed, I'm finding something a bit curious now. I've been using Firefox 1.5.0.5 on Windows XP (during breaks at work) when looking at the 2.0 site. The original 2.0 site seemed a bit quicker, but now the site seems to render the page reasonably quickly, but then the browser keeps loading for a bit longer, mysteriously hangs for a second or two, and then all is fine and the loading finishes. Although the page seems to initially render very quickly, in total I'd say the page loading is now slower than before.

I have also noticed a slight delay in the page finishing its load. I periodically get the color wheel in the last few seconds - usually at the loading of the last item of the page (per Safari 2.0.3/OS X10.4.6). It is a bit frustrating as I can't scroll down to the bottom of the page until that load is finished. But the posting is quicker by far !

Yes... this is simply a trial. I noticed the speed issue right off with Safari, but I don't notice it on Windows with IE or Firefox. I have contacted the company to have them look at it... but Im not even sure I will keep them around and even if I do, it will not be site-wide, only on certain content pages.

I too have major browser slowdowns and freezing when pages with those "active ads" are loading. It freezes my browser (Firefox on windows, Safari on Mac) and I am unable to do anything until it unfreezes. Active ads are by far the most annoying type of ad. I also do not like the fact that the gallery has been removed.

Awesome new look! (High praise coming from this designer!) But where's the Volunteer tab? It makes going to that area so much easier...
