Default Slow / No response time

I am having very poor response times on the forum currently. I just ran a speed/connection test and my connection is killer. I've done all the basic stuff ( clean out cookies etc ) but it's still not acting like "normal". I've tried both the Chrome browser and the IE to no avail. I keep getting the red circling arrow constantly rotating in the upper left hand corner of Chrome. Anyone else experiencing this. I should note that I'm using a PC. Here's my latest connection test so I'm real confident it isn't the cable. Any "experts" with a suggestion? Maybe it's just the internet suffering from a big weekend? :>)

Same here. I've also cleaned my PC, I use Google Chrome and still it sometimes take a lot of time to load or it won't load at all. Glad to see that I'm not the only one that is having issues, thought maybe it was just My computer.

Yep, it's been fubar since last week. It's not your PC. I can't even use IE on this site but Chrome is working for now at least. There is another current thread about this same issue.

Update: it's running better today than it has for the past several days, not sure what happened, I didn't do anything different on my end but at least it's better.

Same here, logged in using IE and now it appears to be normal. At least when it happens again we will know the score.

Just as a side note, I remember a post awhile back about problems with a plug in called Shock Wave. Every so often, that thing was driving me nuts so I went online and figured out how to disable it, now my computer works even better but that was in the evening after I had already logged onto HDF and seen the improvement, I just wanted to make it even better.
