When I receive an email telling me there is a new post in a subscribed thread it takes 5 to 10 seconds to load. Far longer than any other email I get.
It started when I told my email program to load images in email for futures.io. Before loading images the emails opened quickly.
Didn't have this problem before change to futures.io
Does anyone else have this problem? I do not.
Ron, what email service/program are you using?

Does anyone else use Opera Mail that can confirm?

I just checked it using website retrieval of my emails. It worked OK there so it must be my Opera Email program. Strange that that program takes 10 seconds to open email and my Opera browser takes 1 second.
I'll figure out something.

I looked at the HTML, which you can do too by just 'viewing source' in your email program. There is nothing that is weird or special, nothing that would cause abnormal behavior that I could see.

Just noticed, by accident, a couple of places where "BMT " or "Big Mike's Trading" did not get replaced by the new name:
1. The text that is posted when someone posts in the "Hire a Consultant or Programmer" forum:
2. The page you get when you click the "Disclaimer" link in that text:

Unfortunately, it isn't much surprise to learn the FIO new beta is further behind schedule. I tried and tried to push the developer to finish ahead of the holidays, but he did not. So, I still haven't even made another conversion test because I'm still lacking a couple of big pieces of custom work that need to be finished so we can have a proper test.
I am hoping early January...
