Dear IIF Members:
Here are some quick updates:
-------------------------
Speed of the Website
-------------------------
We get complaints from time to time about the speed and functionality of our website. In most cases, the problem is caused by performance issues of Internet Explorer, which is use by nearly 70% of our users.
We highly recommend that you surf our website using a Firefox browser. It is used by nearly 30% of the world - and that 30% gets a lot more done using this browser because it is so much faster.
This is the link to Mozilla Firefox - it is free and takes a minute or two to install. We benefit nothing from this - only you do. You will see a great difference in your surfing speed, particularly on sites with many java script codes like ours.
You will also be able to import all your Favorites into Firefox - Favorites are called Bookmarks in Firefox.

Here is more information about Firefox at Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozilla_Firefox
There are other browsers such as Google Chrome, Safari and Opera. It is a personal choice, but we have found IE to be the slowest for surfing Investors Iraq.
-------------------------
New Forums at IIF
-------------------------
We created 3 new forums on the site:
1. Iraq News Video Forum (http://www.investorsiraq.com/forumdisplay.php?f=460) - Please post any videos related to Iraq here. We will try to place them on the Video Portal (http://www.investorsiraq.com/portal.php?pageid=video), which is also new to the site. We recommend news videos , documentaries, history, etc. Not all videos automatically embed themselves so if the link does not work properly, we will try to get it to work for you. Comments on the video threads are welcomed. Let's try to post one video per thread so we can index them better by title.
2. Doing Business In Iraq Forum (http://www.investorsiraq.com/forumdisplay.php?f=22) - Please post any information, news, links related to "doing business" in/with Iraq. As the security situation continues to settle, more opportunities are arising as we enter into a new stage of investing in Iraq. We would prefer that the information be limited to specific business related information, not the general information and news that is posted in the Economy forums.
3. Iraq Events Calendar Forum (http://www.investorsiraq.com/forumdisplay.php?f=461) - Please post any events related to Iraq, such as the recent business conference in Washington DC. We will be posting them on the forum calendar which we intend to better utilize. You can post them the same way we do articles on the site. Please include links.

As many of you know, we do changes from time to time on our site in hopes to improve access to information. We apologize were this has created problems. The issue is not "fixing something that's not broke" - the issue is improvement. This site has grown extensively over the past 5 years and with the progress in Iraq, we hope it will continue to grow (along with our investments).
If you have any special needs, requests or ideas, please pass them along to us in Private Message. Most of the better ideas have come from the voice of our community.
-------------------------

All "Investor" and "Investor/Supporter" accounts are upgraded and have complete access to the site.
