i am not sure if this is the place for this, so i will cross post to the skinbrowser news group.
i love the idea of using the skin browser to access this message board, but on my home PC (winXP, skinbrowser 0.96, 56k modem connection) i have now given up on this idea.
quite simply i cannot tell if the skinbrowser is working or not. subjectively it seems far slower at loading both the message board its self, and the threads within than IE6.
on several occasions i have quit skinbrowser, and then reloaded it in an attempt to get back to the actual message board front page.
since i cannot tell if it is doing something or not (at least IE6 gives a progress bar) after 3 or 4 minutes of total inactivity i simply give up.
i have just tried loading elf's marathon thread in skinbrowser with no other net activity, so that i could watch my modems lights (external modem) to get a feel for what was happening. however all data transfer stopped after about a minute. after another minute of no action, i have returned to IE6. in a moment i will see if IE6 does any better on elf's thread.
any helpful suggestions gratefully received
