How long does it take you to post your message?
I have recently switched to DSL and it is great. I click on Fodors and it is there. I click on a thread and it immediately opens up. But when I hit "post my message" it takes exactly 42 seconds for it to take. This seems a lot longer than it used to before DSL, or does it just seem slower to me now that everything else is faster? How long does it take your message to post? Or is this some side effect of my change?

3 seconds, with a cable modem connection.<BR><BR>I have found that thread with lots of replies can take a long time to open (whether after a reply or just for reading), and that Fodors is slower at busier times of day.<BR><BR>I suggest that you test the timing with replies to both long and short threads. If the 42 seconds applies only to long threads, then you can blame Fodors.

Nope. makes no difference. Sometimes I've been the very first poster, and it even applied to posting this message as the original poster. Always 42 seconds. On the other hand I can now even open up a 100+ posts thread instantly. So it really must be some sort of problem between my DSL modem and my computer and not fodor's fault. And I have also lost my ability for this site to remember my name and email address. I checked tools/internet options and auto memory is still set to work, but doesn't. Oh well, the joys of computer operations.

Patrick:<BR><BR>I see you are with AOL. Try using the Microsoft Internet Explorer brouser and see if it remembers your e-mail address. Or if you are already using Internet Explorer, try re-installing or downloading an updated version and see if it works then.
