Is USMLERx messing up for anyone else?

I tried to search around for a thread but came up with nothing.
Apparently USMLERx updated and now has links to FA 2011 but for some reason when i scroll up and down the page the explanations tend to disappear, not the whole explanation mind you just the first sentence..... it's really starting to annoy me, is anyone else experiencing this?

Yeah I dunno why Rx doesn't update its interface. I always thought it sucked. Guess Tao Le doesn't have too many good programmers on his staff.

This is probably not the best place to state it, but I'm gonna reiterate - I thought Rx was a waste of time as a Qbank. It's not just nitpicky, it's not even thought-provoking nitpicky and the questions often rely entirely on FA being memorized (which isn't very helpful in the least). I thought Kaplan was much much better if you need to use an adjunct Qbank for practice.

yeah i agree I should have saved my money and bought an Xbox or something, it's decent but it's also annoying. I just use it because I already have been through world once and I'm working on my second time but sometimes I need additional questions and it's better than nothing *shrug*
I totally agree about the not thought provoking part, also it's hard to read with those skinny letters
I emailed customer support, maybe I can finangle a refund * cross fingers *

I haven't had any troubles like the one you mentioned- my complaint is that everytime I go to "end block" it seems to log me out so I have to log back in, reopen the "suspended test" and then click end block again to get the feedback.

Overall I much prefer UW but USMLERX helps me to cover FA better.

Yup that happens to me a lot too.

Maalik: Yeah, I totally understand why people use it and all. I just really got annoyed with it after a while b/c I felt like it was testing my FA recall (which doesn't necessarily mean anything). Granted, Kaplan also tested stupid things (like what chromosome segment some gene mutation is on) but did so less often.
