Site Updated (What we did and why...)

The site has been updated and everything should be working normal. If you see anything wrong, please contact us. For folks who are interested - here is what we did...
First, I upgraded the server from ColdFusion 7 to ColdFusion 8. This is the latest version of the ColdFusion Application Server and has significant improvements, especially in speed. The site should now be running about 4 times faster than what it was before.
Secondly, I changed all the Ajax functions to use JSON instead of XML. This had a dramatic effect on the Ajax pages as it cut the amount of text going back and forth by more than half.
Some minor changes were done to both the "My Status" pod and your profile.
So all in all - everything should be zippier. What's next? Some cool new features, hopefully over the next two weeks. Let us know what you think!
If possible I would like to link your site to mine...primarily to use it as a source of good ingormation
for my college news.
