Just to note that I've been having problems accessing the comments section and going "back" to comments after I've gone to a link. Just in case you don't know.
That never worked for me, even before the software change. I use Firefox and "open in new tab."
When a click the POST COMMENT thing, it can take up to a minute. If I press ESC and retry the post, it ends up posting twice. Any advice?
Don't retry. At least, not without checking to see if your message posted first.
SuperG is aware of the problem, and is working on it. Apparently, the problem is the blogads. I probably shouldn't say this, but given the problems you are having, I would try Ad-Blocking the ads.
I use Firefox and what b3NDZ... describes always worked for me. The new system is slower and clunkier from my perspective.
For me it works but just very very slowly
The worst part is if you wish to look for new posts in another drumbeat say, then you have to do a manual eyeball scan and scroll all the way to the bottom. This takes an enormous amount of time. Just to do a catchup with newer posts. Of if you wish to see any replies to your comment ,,,again a very long slow eyeball scan. Takes forever and your eyes get glazed over after a bit.
This is a huge problem IMO.
Overall the app on the server seems to be slow as well. Like a lot of code is running at a low priority on the server or just pumping a heck of a lot of routines. Maybe bloated code. Not to disparage it but you do have a severe performance problem from what I see.
Could be my slow dialup but I don't think thats it. You can tell when you go to a website where there is a server overload, memory leak or code execution is just very slow due to many variables. But looking back at the previous application. This seems very slow.

Just type to bring up your Find box. Type [n and "bracket n" will find all the "new" posts. U can go backwards too.
After a Reply u must do the Find again in the confirmation page to see the new posts since u opened the last browser or tab. Inconvenient but much faster than scanning...
It is always best to Reply in a new tab or browser or u will lose the "old" news.
Yep - hit Apple-F for Find, the Find box comes up, put in your search string. Apple-G for 2nd, 3rd, etc instances of the string.... You can't grep dead trees....*
Old unix saying.
Works on my Firefox only after I option it on. It was set false as downloaded and installed so I had to config it on.
Helps some but still a PITA. No summary,not dating,etc.
4:23 am 15 January 2007 .... for airdale's post.
To find all post's made on the 15th you search for "15 Jan".
To find all post's made in the AM of the 15th you search for:
"am 15".
If the clock is put into reverse notation as well, i.e. :23 of 4am, then you could even search for all stories posted in a given hour of a given day: Find "4am 15 Jan".
