Author Message   Joan Auer Citizen Username: Joan Post Number: 3 Registered: 6-2003 Posted on Wednesday, July 2, 2003 - 12:28 pm:        Is the Attic disabled or is it just me? Everytime I try to enter the Attic, I get the username, password section. I enter them and then nothing happens. Is it down? Will it be available again?   Elizabeth Citizen Username: Elizabeth Post Number: 193 Registered: 7-2002 Posted on Wednesday, July 2, 2003 - 6:56 pm:        I just tried, successfully, to get into the Attic. (It wasn't instantaneous, by the way--and I have a cable modem.) Try it again and if you still can't get in, re-post. Maybe Dave will come to your rescue.   Joan Auer Citizen Username: Joan Post Number: 5 Registered: 6-2003 Posted on Friday, July 4, 2003 - 9:52 am:        I can get into the attic now, but I still have to put in my username and password to get into the attic, to get into the subject, and to get into the thread. It takes a long time before the page comes up at every stage and then after I look at the thread, I have to start all over again. Is this how its working now, or is there something wrong with my computer? my connection? Any help would be appreciated as we are starting a remodelling and really want to read the info on contractors.   Dave Ross Supporter Username: Dave Post Number: 4806 Registered: 5-2001 Posted on Friday, July 4, 2003 - 11:40 am:        It's just the size of the sections that makes it slow. Once you get the main list of topics in Home Fixit open the links in a new window (right click with mouse and select option). This will prevent you from having to wait for the list to reload each time.   Joan Auer Citizen Username: Joan Post Number: 6 Registered: 6-2003 Posted on Friday, July 4, 2003 - 2:53 pm:        Thanks Dave, I'll try it.   Joan Auer Citizen Username: Joan Post Number: 7 Registered: 6-2003 Posted on Friday, July 4, 2003 - 11:22 pm:        Dave, Thanks for the suggestion. Using the attic is much faster now.
