Does the original page actually go to the courses though? That's how it is for me. It goes to the courses page and the pop-up appears. I just close the pop-up and continue with my business.

Hmmm, try using Internet Explorer. That's the supported browser for ELM... sadly.

I'm glad to see it's not only me who finds it slow. I've tried it on three different computers with three different internet connections and it's still extremely slow. I feel that this should be called ELF instead, Epic Learning Fail.

my problem is that it can't even log me in. every time i try to log in it would refresh the login page. sometimes it would also give me a "the page cannot be displayed" page.

is anyone else having this problem?
