Hi All, Please fix the website. It is extremely frustrating to use! The questions get repeated over and over again. It freezes and doesn't advance to the next question or page for quite a long time. This happens over and over again. Arggghh... It's very frustrating, because it takes so much longer to read the articles and answer the questions than it should. Many thx.
