I give up. AU is unusable like this.
Bit sad... maybe we're being prepped for a comms blackout by having a trial run of "read a book or go outside"?
I still don't understand why they had to rush it in, the beta site had all these "glitches" and they never solved them their. What were they expecting..? For one or the other reason new software has to perform much worse than whatever it follows up, so from that perspective it's a success alright...
