Is it just me or has anybody noticed things loading much slower since all of the changes on this site ? The attached youtube videos take forever.

That's odd , started around the same time as the new changes to the site. By the way, what happened to the picture at the top of the generation specific Corvette ? I miss those .

I was told to change to Google Chrome once and had all kinds of problems afterward. Took the computer in for repairs and was told that the Google Chrome was the problem . I'm so far from a computer expert so I hesitate to try it again but someone else said that it would work on here . I'm mostly having problems when I try to open a video. Never had that problem before. Now it takes about five minutes before it begins to play and it only happens on this site . All other videos on other sites play fine.

My "back" button is useless. The same tab appears when I try to go back.
