Any ridewithgps.com users? Problems? Feedback request.

I know there was a thread before but I'd like this one to be more focused. I really like this site. but I've been having persistent problems with it and I've been in touch with one of the developers. I'd like to see if/how it works for others. In particular those computer savvy riders who can provide useful technical information. They develop the site on Linux and it looks like they haven't done extensive Windows/Mac testing but it's supposed to work with Firefox better than IE.

My problems relate to stability:

- if I try to add a course point to a route or try to edit existing cue sheet the browser locks up and/or quits.

- it locks up and quits often when I click on a spot where there is no routing information available and then quickly click somewhere else to correct.

- random quits when scrolling, clicking on the map.

I've replicated the problems under several configurations, including:

Windows 7 Ultimate 64, Firefox 3.5.6, 3.5.7, Flash 9.x and 10.x including the latest.

Windows 7 Ultimate 64, IE 8, Flash 9.x and 10.x including the latest (editing cue sheet works though)

Windows XP Pro 32 SP3, Firefox 3.5.6, 3.5.7, Flash 9.x and 10.x including the latest.

Windows XP Pro 32 SP3, IE 7 (IE6 doesn't work well at all), Flash 9.x and 10.x including the latest.

Mac OSX 10.6.2, Firefox 3.5.6, 3.5.7, Flash 9.x and 10.x including the latest.

So please provide some feedback. Say if it works well, or not, describe the problems, try to stay focused, if you never used this site please refrain from unnecessary comments, and include:

Your Operating System version, including service packs and point updates.
Exact version of your web browser.
Exact version of Flash.
Amount of RAM.

If there is a decent amount of constructive feedback I'll email a link to this thread to the developers.

Thanks,

Adam
