Glad it's not just me!

Safari is my current browser of choice, but I've tried it on Firefox with no apparent difference, and even IE6 on NT to no avail.

Ok ...

Are guys sure that you're not seeing the changes? I know that a few of the changes are somewhat subtle, but you should be noticing the differences.

You've also tried refreshing your browsers?

Please let me know; I can always have another look at the code after we've eaten dinner.

I personally can't see any changes? I am colourblind however :)

Have refreshed my browser and tried FireFox and IE on WinXP home

Are you sure that skin isn't just available on some special Stark-only network? :)

What I can see as new is.
The BGLOD top left.
New style of banner
? Smoother frames
Is that what some of the changes are?

Yes.

I've also seen a couple of SQL errors, and I've sent off a support issue to DH about this. I believe that the slowdown preceeds the SQL error, and they're related, and that they perhaps relate to an update to the DB engine that may have been installed.

Certainly, that's what it was around October last year.

OK ...

That's not good.

It's not what you should be seeing ...

Is it only Nikon users that are seeing the BGLOD, or are Canon users seeing that too?

Of the Nikon users, D70, D70s, D2x ... ??? What camera please?

I'm Nikon D70, but I'm not seeing it

That's already ended, Philip.

But this BGLOD has me very concerned.

Only seems to be affecting Nikon users too. Most strange.
