Susan,

Not sure if your reply was in response to my previous posting as you didn't say, but I am assuming so....

I am using IE6 in work and 7 at home.  The old forum was not as slow as this one and it was much simpler to use.  I think perhaps with all the new features, the site has become a lot slower and it does take a while to login and reply to postings as most of us have pointed out.

I think some features and links should be kept off the site eg.  Twitter.  I am sure anyone that uses this social networking site has already bookmarked it as you would other sites, so I don't really see the point of it on here.  I mean why not have links to all the others, or are DD just promoting that one?!

As for other message boards and group discussions...for a lot of us, this is a site we use during the day at work and so it's not our main email or networking site.  I for one only started to use DD because of the forum and advice that was being shared as regards MS Office etc. 

In my company the PA's are very clicky so networking on a site like this not an option - they hardly speak as it is!

Again I know I am repeating myself but a user guide would have been ideal in getting to know the features quickly.
