Default Improvements?
I recieved an email the other day from HDforums talking about their improvements and how I should come back to check them out. I am back and the only improvement I was hoping for didn't seem to make the list............it is still so slow that you are too frustrated waiting for pages load to make use of all the infrormation on here. I was looking for seat options for a deluxe and have given up because waiting 30 seconds for each page to load is a waste of time when there are hundreds of pages of info to look at. And then because you are waiting too long your search results eventually disappear. Its too bad because this site would be a great resource if you could only access it.

The speed of the site is not a problem, it's plenty quick. What browser are you using? If you are using IE, I suggest switching to Firefox for a faster and generally superior browsing experience.

I do use IE but wonder if that was the problem why is it only on this site. I am on an uncapped unlimited cable modem and dont experience slow performance as a rule.

Hey WGB,,, I didn't know about the "Pimp" ability of FireFox, just downloaded the HD theme myself! LOL

On edit, when I restarted FF it does not show up, any tips on how to work it? (It said install successful, click here to restart FF) Then I don't see any change? I am only running 2.0.16, it says 2.0-3.0 Maybe I need to install the NEWEST FF version, I'll try that.

I use the newest version of IE and the site flies. And Jim, Go to the tools tab and click add ons. It should show the HD theme, select use theme.

Sure here ya go:

1) Click on Tools, then Add-Ons:





2) Click on Themes, highlight the Harley Davidson theme, then select the "Use Theme" button:





To reverse, follow the same steps but select the Firefox Default theme.
