Vast Improvement

I just logged on to the site and it is vastly improved (in terms of speed).


Maybe it is because I am living in Singapore and it is 3pm (which is a time neither E.U. or North America are really awake) or the sever has been upgraded.

I have noticed the biggest difference with the "3d" section with all the videos and images. the globe spins quite quickly now and the videos are (for the most part) not choppy and do not cut off.

Mine is a bit better, most of the videos in the vault are OK to play. Crimison and Clover is still slightly choppy though

Still can't download any albums though, I keep getting the Navigation to the Webpage error and a dialog box which hangs at 0% download.

Well they are obviously optimizing the site now.

I noticed some of the graphics in the video ball were gone. If they keep it up... the site can move forward.

Yep, awesome. Good response to the problems. The ball thing spins smoothly now, where it was a chuggathon before.

Two thumbs up. biggrin

Yes it is a big improvement. So far on my work computer, the vids in the archives on the site, have no choppiness in them. Hopefully it will be the same when I try it out on my home computer.

As Scott clay said. They were doubling the Server size. Its due to that, that everything is much faster

I'm very happy with the response time with the improvements on the new site.

Unlike previous Prince sites, it looks like there's actually a real team behind this one and they are making improvements on a daily basis. That was NEVER the case with previous sites.

The WAV downloads are working, the video section is much faster, and listening to the CDs is much easier.

There needs to be some follow up of GOOD publicity about the site to follow the bad.

So Far, So Pleased.

How do you log in? I seemed to have forgotten my user name and password and when I try to sign up a new account, it says to unlock the site. How do you do that? the ticket stub shows up and you're supposed to enter something in the 2 fields but I have no idea what.

You have to enter 1986 in the date field, and Los Angeles in the city field on the purple ticket.

Yeah, for some reason, I can't download any of the albums with IE but I did using Firefox without an issue. You can get it for free at www.mozilla.com.
