If you check the credits, the website is based heavily off of the Graceful Clothiers catalog, which was taken down sometime in October and offered to whoever wanted it as a website kit. I took advantage of that as a foundation.
As to the speed, I'm looking into improving that. I figured it'd be popular, but underestimated just how much. My bandwidth has been pegged nearly 24/7, even in the middle of the night. First step will probably be reducing the image quality, much as I hate to do it. Upgrading the bandwidth is another option.

The websiteneeds it where to each outfit whitch tailor skill you need to have to make 'this' item.
Like you need Field wear IV to make Infiltration suit & so on.
(for other tailors working up the tailor tree..like me)
EDIT> *Shrug* only a suggestion so i can get rid of my other tailor websites

Make the images JPGs, I noticed they are all GIFs. Longer to load and more bandwith.

They are all PNGs, actually. And the reason they are all PNGs instead of jpeg is because a PNG can have transparency and the quality is better. Thus, reducing quality would be converting them to jpeg. The trouble is then every image would need the background attached.

Alright, for those worried about load time, I've changed the initial image you are presented with to be a jpg. It's about 1/3rd the size. If you choose colors though it will load a full quality image.
Let me know if it's any better like that. I can change it so it always uses jpgs but I like the higher quality of png.

What browser are you using? Did you try switching to a color, away, then back to that color? One problem I was having early on was with the graphic not being properly displayed the first time, but fine after that.
If you can PM me with your IP address, it would help me in looking for the problems if I could find it in the server logs.

I had this issue as well on Windows NT IE 6.0 with a mozilla base. It does work on my other work pc which is XP IE 6.0 Mozilla base. You may want to try to reinstall IE or double check the MS site for product updates if it's your home pc.
