ASP.NET Forums Really Suck in FireFox

Has anyone else noticed (complained) about the current ASP.NET forums, ever since they upgraded their version of Community Server ?  I've basically stopped visiting them since they take so long to load in FireFox, even when coming back to a page in another tab that's already been loaded.  The next page links also seem to take 2 clicks for some reason (they don't in IE) -- and I don't know what else is broke since I just can't bring myself to visit them anymore.  Sure I could use IE, but I like FireFox and it is what I have up and running, and I've never seen any other site that responds so poorly like this.  I also can't say I really like the updated "look" all the much period, and even in IE its obviously slower than it ever used to be.

Congrats to a new Atlanta MVP -- Brendon Schwartz

Congratulations to Brendon Schwartz for being made a new ASP.NET MVP !  Brendon is one of the founding Atlanta Regular Guys, which means he basically goes to just about every .NET related user group or other community event in town -- and basically runs half of them also.  Congrats Brendon -- you very much deserve it -- and Atlanta just got another much deserved MVP in you.
