Testing. 1, 2, 3... / Re: New Forum Logo

The logo shifting from negative to positive image is an interesting effect, but it's not worth the extra 10-15 seconds per topic that it takes to load. It's really killing my ability to go through topics at a reasonable pace. Is it just me?
The logo's transition takes 18 seconds to complete, but posts are loading for me before the transition completes. How odd that they're not for you. :-/
Why don't you take a few days to see if this changes, Mark. If not, going back to the original logo is no biggie because the truth is I was simply testing out two IE filters I just came across. (The background color's gradient going from black at the the top of a page to dark gray at the bottom is the other.)
An observation before I close (and, honestly, this truly isn't directed at you, Mark - just in general, because this is something that seems to permeate our entire society): Just when did our continually escalating demand to have everything faster and quicker progress to the point that having to wait an extra 18 seconds became intolerable? Does this foreshadow a time in the not too distant future when having to wait, say, 8 seconds will be similarly intolerable? If so, what will society be like 50, or even 10 years from now? Personally, I shudder to think...
