Loads of problems lately browsing the board, shoutbox in particular. Reasonably fast connection for thailand here too but often these days I'm having to close and restart the browser just to check new posts etc.

Back to the original post, BB, is that rrunning on Vista as I've heard other reports saying it's a bit of a resource hog and runs quite slowly. If it's vista you're running it on and it's working quicker than IE I'll def give it a go.

Yes, I'm using Vista Home Premium, the browser was already installed with the machine.
I was having a few problems with Hotmail as well before, kept getting a message telling me the password was incorrect 1st time and only works the 2nd time I enter it, not sure if Ie7 might have been bugged in some way but I ain't getting that problem with Safari, hotmail was also working slower with Ie7 than now too.

Generally speaking, everything seems better apart from 1 social networking site called Tagged.

Cool, I'll download it in a bit and give it a go

BB have you tried Yahoo or Gmail for your emails? I've used yahoo for a long time and it works fine. Also people say good things about Google's Gmail where I have a back-up email account but haven't used it much yet.

Gmail rocks, best online mail service I've come across. Yahoo is very slow in comparison and hotmail/msn is just annoying as hell.

I have many yahoo and hotmail accounts and would agree with comments made.

I know about Gmail and never tried it, but will now after hearing what you had to say about it.
