I’ve noticed with my new faster 'puter, that to get on the chat room now. I have to go through the whole setup twice. The first time everything loads, but very slowly and quite often I can’t actually get in. I still get the streamed info at the bottom of the sign in, going something like, authenticating client…authenticated…■■?. If I then come right back to this forum, then go back again, everything loads up in a fraction of the time and I get straight in, no problem at all. 
Weird.
