Hi Svij,

Thanks for dropping by and thanks for the feedback. I am not sure what browser you are using. Ideally it should not matter. All I can think of is if your internet connection speed is causing the issue. Let me know if you see the same problem with Firefox coupled with a decent internet connection ~Best. {V}
