Hotmail format....

I don't know if any of ya'll use Hotmail or not, but if you do, have you noticed the format of the pages changed? I kind of like how they look now. How to ya'll like it?

Of course, it'll be months, probably, before the site starts running "normally" again.

Yesterday when I checked my e-mail it tok me twice as many clicks because almost evertime the browser came back with no server available. I would then have to hit "back" and try it again to work. This happened on about everything I clicked. Today seems to work better though.

I think ill like it better once I get used to it but I cant say im fond of it. It doesnt really matter though since I just use that address as a junk mail magnet. helps keep my real mail addresses nice and clean. <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

I don't like it too much. Looks to much like MSN's new browser. I like the dark blue a bit though, easier on the eyes, but the whole things too bubbly for me. Looks like it was designed for a 10 year old.

I haven't used Hotmail in ages just because of the accumulation of junk mail.

I kinda like it, the folders are now listed on the right hand side for easy access instead of in a drop down menu. But you're right, it takes significantly longer to load even with my DSL connection. They should have been considerate and included an option for a low bandwidth version for modem users.

But you can disable loading of graphics in your browser, that seems to speed it up quite a bit. And it's still usable/readable. But I'd be interested in actual opinions from modem users.

Actually, it's no laughing matter. A lot of the internet developers are losing sight of the fact that the vast majority of internet users do not have a high speed access pipe. Either that's all that's available or it's all that they can afford. So if the modem users are left out in the cold, that creates a huge gap between the haves and the have-nots. A huge customer base that IMHO cannot be ignored.

Don't care/ I use Outlook Express to get my hotmail from my hotmail accounts (most of them). Works fine. Download function still sucks and leads you on an eternal loop to nowhere. If that gets fixed I'll be impressed.
