Rick, You're not connecting via dialup or mobile 3G by any chance? I really don't recognise your description...
I didn't join the foray until half a year after the first invitations went out. I had read a lot of bitching from many on this list over the interface, and was very skeptical to begin with. In fact, I wrote to Pentax and suggested some improvements, both on the gallery display and the voting page. A few were incorporated too, along with other changes to improve the interface speed over time. I joined in June, btw, and the beta stage ended in September 2007. Further improvements were made later that autumn, and I don't think it's that bad anymore. I may have grown used to it too, of course. Last Thursday, btw, a colleague at work praised the site's convenient interface for browsing images. Without any encouragement from me except providing the link.
