Tom,
I sent you a private message. Near the upper-right corner of the web page there's a tiny red envelope icon you can click to access private messages.
As of about 2 days ago (I think) I noticed the Canon community site takes an extremely long time to load a page -- making the site unusable. But I've been re-checking about once per day in hopes that the issue would be resolved (so far it's still not resolved.) Consequently, I have not been very active.
(Incidentally, for those who support the site ... I was suspicious that it might be my machien, or a browser plug-in, etc. I've tried switching browsers, switching computers, and I've even tried when I'm away from the house on a different network (e.g. using the iPad). It doesn't seem to matter what I use or from where... the painfully long load times persists.)
I suspect that the forum site has been caught up in the problems of the new Canon site, which hit the street last week hideously buggy and nowhere near ready for prime time. Since yesterday evening I've been seeing the slowness you report (although truthfully I haven't found it to be quite as bad as you suggest), as well as another problem you didn't mention: legends at the top and bottom of each page announcing that:
"We're sorry, the page you're looking for cannot be found.
VISIT OUR HOMEPAGE"
And if you click on the link to the (Canon's?) home page, it goes nowhere.
Canon's page itself has settled down a little in the past week, but still has dead links and missing information. My guess is that they hired the same company to write it that they hired to write Version 4 of Digital Photo Professional. The profound lack of pre-release testing is evident in both cases.
