Good I'm not the only one with this problem! I was just complaining about it on the "Goodbye WebCT" thread. It takes forever to load and even when I click on one of my courses, after it loads (which usually takes 1 in 10 tries to work) when I click on a file folder icon, it doesn't do anything. O___o

EDIT: It says apparently my browser isn't compatible! :| I'm using Internet Explorer 8... When I go to the list of supported browsers, it just lists a bunch of versions of "Vista X.0 Campus Edition X.0". Whatever that is. @[email protected]

There was nothing wrong with WebCT! ARRggggghhh!
ELM does not work for me and it is soo slow!
And what about the people who have macs and no internet explorer!?
Who's decision was this to change it? Can we petition to change it back to webCT?

Actually, Firefox is not a supported browser. Therefore it's not guaranteed to work on Firefox. It does work on mine though (3.5.3).

As for IE, it should definitively work. It's probably just the huge amount of traffic that they are experiencing. Even the professors are having problems uploading their materials.

ELM's working for me in Safari and Firefox (3 point something). It's much slower in FF though.

Looks like ELM is completely down now. I'm sure they know about the recent problems with it and today is the day for sheduled maintanence so it should be back up and running Monday hopfully with all our courses online.

Because Firefox is awesome? But really it should still work.
