    Anytime i'm loading a page, it takes about an additional 3-5 seconds for the Facebook Connect button to load. I can't scroll the page or anything until it loads. I get this at work (on 5 different computers) and home (3 different computers) running WinXP, Vista, 7, and even my Ubuntu Natty. All with better than 10Mbps connections. Experienced with IE8, IE9, and Firefox 5 & 6. Am i the only one who is seeing this laggy issue?

    so that's the lag...I have noticed it but wasn't paying enough attention to connect it to the FB button.

    Google Chrome... you can scroll pages before they are done loading.

    Um...can we get RID of the stupid little facebook "like" button please?

    Not everything needs a damn like button these days. Isn't that the whole point of a "thanks" button anyway?

    Simple site = better site.
