I agree - the length needs to be limited. The text in genreral needs to be more concise - even bulletized!
otherwise it is getting like a paper that takes a lot of time to wade thru.
I did not have trouble with speed of loading (except a few
movies - but i got up and stretched).
Put buttons top and bottom to move to different parts of the poster.
Make sure font size is large - but not too large!
(only one was uncomfortably small).
Make sure figure numbers are used. this make commenting easier,
and helps guide the reader. (I guess this implies that the relevant
text for a figure was not always close enough to it.)
Having consistent formats helped.
I enjoyed looking and reading most of the posters.
I guess my overall comment is to make the posters more concise.
