Good to hear everything is back, Just wondering though why the site has very recently (in the last day) taking a lot of resources and mainly when scrolling the page its like when people dont have graphics drivers installed everything is 1fps. (This has been on 6 systems Ive seen so far)

I use Firefox, but have always had this issue when using the site on IE. Since noone else mentioned it, I assumed it was my IE being broken.

Just a few minutes ago I remembered that our background image for the site was rather large, since it was only repeated in the horizontal direction and just very tall. I replaced it with a solid colour and now my IE is working perfectly again with swift scrolling like Firefox.

If Chazlene can make the old background repeatable vertically by just making one section of the changing gradient, I will try it again. Let me know if the fixed has worked for those of you with the problem.
