RE: Why does it take so long to load?
Something is wrong here. I have 2 computers, side by side one running Firefox (been using it for years), the other running IE6 and the same thing keeps happening. Loads one page fine, then go to load another page and nothing happens. Hit the stop button, refresh, do this a few times then pops right up. Same with either program. I am running through a 1.5MPS download server. Not happening on any other sites. Seems to be worse during the day. It is across the entire forum, pictures, profiles, posting, happens all the time but for the past 2-3 weeks, seems to be worse. I know there was a way to check the script for errors to see if it was a server issue a while back. Just frustrating more than anything.

RE: Why does it take so long to load?
I noticed that this site is very slow compared to other forums I belong to. It can take as long as 10 seconds for a page to load where other forums I belong to only take 2-3 seconds to load a page. Most of the other forums I belong to us vbulletin, so maybe the software this site uses is slower? At any rate I spend less time here because I find it frustrating to wait for a page to load.

RE: Why does it take so long to load?
Glad to see that I'm not the only one having these issues.
I use Firefox and have a fast cable modem connection.
I have no difficulties browsing other forums.
Here I have to click on a link or a new page up to 3 times for it to work.
Sometimes I cant reply to a topic, I have to click on preview first, then click ok.
I'm kinda used to it now, but sure wish that someone could look into it.

RE: Why does it take so long to load?
I have satellite Internet and over the past 3 weeks, I can't even get on the high traffic areas like Off-Topic or General HD Chat unless it is very late at night. It will try to load and then I'll get an error message. The last 2 days, I couldn'taccess the forums at all. I kept getting"Site Under Construction." Likewise, I'm not having trouble browsing any other sites.

its ad.doubleclick.net getting overloaded at times. doubleclick has images all over every frickin page here.
Because it's revenue for the forum, I'm not going to say how to remove them but a little research can help

RE: Why does it take so long to load?
People who are getting the "Site Under Construction" need to delete their old link to HDF and put up a new one. That problem started when we worked on the forum several days ago.
I'm not having any problems with the forum on my home computer using high speen cable. I use to have the problem mentioned above where I had to click on "Stop" and try to reload the page on my computer at work using DSL. I'm not sure what caused that but I just reported the problem to "Big Admin" again. The problem is that it's only certain members having this problem. It's a hard fix if one person is lightening fast and someone 2 miles away can't get a page to load.

RE: Why does it take so long to load?
I don't come here as often as I would like because this site is like having dailup connection. I'm glad to hear others are having the same problem and it's not just me.
I use firefox and have cable internet.
I'll try with adblocker and see if that helps, not sure I want it to block everything as mentioned on mozillas site, problems users are having that is.
