Hopefully others will also try the Exchanges this weekend and confirm 
that it is, indeed, much faster to load? You'll also see that the 
webforums now use an HTML login page so you no longer go through the 
Flash-based Membership application just to sign in to the forums.

Unfortunately, we are still having to deal with certain browsers not 
supporting Flash Remoting which underlies many of the applications. On 
Mac OS X, your choice is particular narrow since Mozilla 1.3 has a bug 
that breaks Flash Remoting - although 1.2.1 is fine. Read about the bug 
in Mozilla's bugbase:

http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=169093

This also affects Camino, built from the same codebase. Both Safari 
Beta and Opera 6 have problems with Flash Remoting too - we are 
actively working with Apple and Opera to resolve these issues and 
expect to see updated versions of those browser that will be able to 
render the Rich Internet Applications correctly.

We intend to continue with the open and honest reports talking about 
how we built macromedia.com and the lessons we learned - the intent is 
to help our customers build great sites and not have to go through all 
of the same learning process.
