I'm sorry you feel that way Gayle. When I recently took over from Beckie, I wanted to try to make everything better by replacing some of the outdated software with new stuff that offers more features and which fixes many of the annoying bugs which predate my arrival. I know we had a few problems with the albums at first but I believe they are mostly resolved now and the developers are working on fixing some other problems they caused.
The site speed is the same as it was before. If anything, it should be a tiny bit faster. It also now works nicely on mobile devices, which it didn't before. There are many more big I improvements still to come too.
So I'm sorry if the improvements we've made are not to your liking and I hope you'll find a better trans community that is perfect somewhere else.
I'd like thank everyone else though, for your patience while we try to fix the bugs and get the software right. We're doing our best and going as fast as we can and by the way, so far I have paid for all the new software and developer's fees from my own pocket.
Thanks and hugs, Katie

I agree Julia , no other site I have looked at been on or a member of is anything like as good as this . I think that is because it interacts far better in a way that all the others just do not seem to do . The home page and its size can interact with everyone ' live ' as it is scrolling , comments are instant and everyone can be involved with every photo ! , every comment ! and make comments within seconds . Yes we are all aware of the limitations with speed and reliability and I was concerned that this site may fold at some point , however for the future, all I can see is positive results coming through , but it will take Katie and her team time to resolve and more importantly improve our informative and friendly ( most of the time ) !! site that I have grown very attached to !!!

Rome wasn't built in a day and the improvements are noticeable. I am no Tech wizard but I feel the site is much better and faster than I can remember it being especially from a mobile device.
I am sure that this could have been done quicker and faster with a big team of people but we must not loose sight that this is a free site that functions on goodwill and donations. That being said the problems we have had to deal with have been dealt with as quickly as possible and in a open manner allowing for feedback and interaction between the management and the users.
I certainly am very grateful for the changes that have happened and the development of this site and certainly support Katie and her team.

Hmm I'm new here but the site speed is optimal and the layout is plush. The only prol I have is all the new windows that popup when i do something. All in all this site is the governor. Thumbs up from me!

I feel the speed of the site has increased recently, the biggest bonus is that all areas are free and accessible by all, also the format is on a par with other social media sites. But please remove the pop ups as they linger for far too long......
