I'm not jumping on the bandwagon, but at work i'm on a T1 connection, at home i'm on cable, and it'slower than normal on BOTH.

Trust me when I tell you I have plenty of experience with these slowdowns, and I can almost guarantee it is one of the ad servers or the ad itself slowing this site down.

It's been over the past 3-5 days for me. If that helps maybe you can contact the IT guys to see maybe what new ads have been added and go from there.

The site's been slow and jerky for me about the past week, seems to be the only site behaving this way...I usually have no problem at all, so it is getting frustrating...I'm on top end speed of Roadrunner same as I've always been...

Windows explorer with a high speed cable connection but yea, the site has definitely "slowed down" the past few weeks / month or so.
Just getting the "touring" section open is a chore lately. Seems like there is something big that takes a long time to load before it allows you to scroll etc. I think the owners should look into this because something happened. Maybe new graphics or photos by vendors etc? Something is causing a slow down for sure..

Probably has a lot to do with the 3 Toyota advertisements that reload everytime you move around. Or at least they are Toyota today, other times they are different companies.

Way too many ads on the forum now............slowing it down a lot more then it ever was before.

Download Firefox (like many of us have) and the download Ad Block annd block the ads. I have none on my computer when running HDF and like I said earlier, it's lightening fast.

Why should I have to download Firefox and Ad Block? Internet Explorer works just fine for me everywhere else. This Forum is the problem. Why not admit it and fix it?
