Whenever there is a change over with something, there are always a few glicks. As for adds, that helps pay for what we get free. Like TV used to be. We still get adds on our TV's and have to pay through the nose to watch it. I personally am very greatful this is free, and we get so much from here. And have met wonderful people, who are so helpful. As for slowness, it's usually my provider. So if it's slow. I just go quilt and come back in a little while. Alls well with the world and the board. I give the board a "THUMBS UP!"
