I wouldn't say mine is particularly fast, but I wouldn't say it's slow either. According to fasterfox it takes just under 6 seconds to load the page after you login.

Mostly, ELM has been working pretty well for me. There are some times that it doesn't though, but then I just refresh and it works out fine - and if not, I was thinking it was probably because of the wifi connection in school (sometimes it's just not really good at certain spots in class), or probably because of site traffic.
Yeah, maybe it's the browser or your computer (like other people said). Personally, when I have ELM quizzes to do, I do them on the computers in school - that way they can't fault my connection (it was theirs) or my computer (it was their desktop). But it could be difficult to do all the quizzes in school, so yeah.
Hopefully your issue gets fixed! : )

The title kills me too. =D
ELM has been working well, much more than back in September.

The title made me start thinking of how I might turn that into a Halloween costume when I'm teaching tutorials....

i agree, one thing i really miss about webct is, when new marks were inputted, the little grade symbol would appear on the main page.

I find that really odd for ELM. It tells you if new assignments are posted, if there are new posts in the discussion board and if there are new announcements but it doesn't tell you if new marks have been inputed.

For me, it shows tells me if there are new discussion topics in the first course on my list, but not for the others.
And am I the only one getting sick and tired of being told that Firefox 3.x is unsupported?
Overall, the system seems okay now, but there's so many little irritating things that weren't there in webCT... |
