I am glad that the site underwent recent maintenance. I appreciate the time, effort, and cost invested to do so.
It seems to me, however, that the site is Very Slow in response to typing, since coming back on line. I can easily be several sentences ahead, and this makes fixing my (many) typos difficult.
This is compounded by the text window automatically setting itself to the top of the response, not the end of the response where text is being added, but this has been mentioned in annother thread, previously.
Just some feedback for those doing the site maintenance.

How could any change in the site possibly make your typing slow? Surely that is your browser, not the site you are on. |

I don't know.
The responsiveness of the forum to text typing seems to have decreased dramatically since the sight's last maintanence period. Neither of my work/home computers, nor their browsers changed...

I appreciate the responses, but I wish they did not point to my system(s) as the source for the problem !

Sadly for you, they are correct. The text boxes you are typing things into, eg posts, are not interacting with the web server. They are hadled locally by your web browser. The interaction happends eg when you click Submit.
Are your anti-viral, anti-spyware functions etc up to par?

This is most likely also a client local phenomenon, and not governed by the server. Eg there is a difference in how IE anf FireFox behaves when it comes to text boxes. |

Yes but using Javascript that Atmel delivered in the HTML. The text box has:
Code:
<td class='row1' valign='top'>
<textarea name='message' rows="6" cols="80" style="width:100%" tabindex='1' class='post' onselect='storeCaret(this);' onclick='storeCaret(this);' onkeyup='storeCaret(this);'></textarea>
</td>
and the function is:
Code:
function storeCaret(textEl) {
if (textEl.createTextRange) textEl.caretPos = document.selection.createRange().duplicate();
}
