Yeah...I just noticed that...whats up with this now I wonder. Its really annoying when trying to read something having these things pop up all over the place. Now I have to watch where I place my cursor?

OK...I just got on the site a few minutes ago and everything seems to moving along quite good...for the moment...I just hope it stays this way. 
I'll be a very happy camper if it does!

Rome wasn't built in a day gang. The web team is working hard to improve things (a lot of back-end optimizations and coding being done) but it's going to take time for it to happen.

No one is talking days here. This has been going on for weeks. Everyone wishes your team well and hopes for the best. However, I have seen other sites do conversions that have heavy traffic and intensive graphics content and they usually go through a week of touch and go and tune ups and are finished. Here it just goes on and on.

Am I seeing things or is this a intellitxt editor now? Nice edition to the site...
I bet a lot of the slow downs here lately are due to work in progress - maybe?

Every day I'm seeing differences with the site....so someone's doing something somewhere. Ultimately it'll be for the good.
I'm here probably more than anyone....yet still can maintain a sense of patience, so others 'should' be able to as well, surely....

Paul, all due respect (and tons of it), we have heard that before also. Save the patronizing.
I know they will get it fixed in time but that's no need to dismiss things 100%. Hopefully we can have fun with it, but only for so long.

I would say patience has more than extended itself.
Alas, we know the powers that be are aware of the issues too, but awareness thus far has only led to a viscious circle of band aids that have not been permanent resolutions. Now.. on top of the issues we have .... adverstisements to contend with.

If I wanted to have patience, I'd be a doctor!
We were getting great communication for a while there as to what was going on but after the big conversion to the monster server, we were asked to report issues which was done. Suddenly there was no more info just things starting to slow down again. No harm, no foul!

Seems the only thing I can get into at the moment is the forums. Just tried getting to screenshots and windowblinds libraries with no luck.

Speed isn't the issue here (everything loads within a reasonable time), but I have lost some forum functions; ie, ability to use the quote and text edit functions in both IE and Firefox, and to use smilies in Firefox....to use paragraphing in both. Obviously it's a coding thing that'll get sorted out, and I can live with it....as in nobody's twisting my arm to come here to suffer it. I'm not too sure about patience being a virtue, though....I've either become too old and placcid, or too darned lazy to be impatient and let something like slow page loads/non-functioning forum utilities ruffle my feathers. 
Besides, WC isn't the only site that gets slow/produces server errors....DA has recently been slow at times, as have others, so hey people, let's not single out WC. Okay, so WC isn't running at its optimum, but whinging about it isn't gonna get it fixed any quicker...it's also additional pressure on those trying to resolve the issues. Brad and the crew are abundantly aware of them, having experienced them as we have, and I'm sure they're endeavouring to find fixes asap. Also, try seeing WC as your corner store and everyone for miles around patronising it. Sooner or later that store is going to be overwhelmed by the traffic....well Stardock/WC, in comparison to many companies with web sites, is your local corner shop and quite small, as opposed to MS, Adobe, Symantec and etc. I suppose it's the price Stardock pays for putting out great and highly popular software....so yeah, how about some commendation and a little patience instead.
