Thank you for the kind offer. Don't know what part of TN you are in but I get into Nashville form time to time..Sometimes there for a week or two at a time.
Last time I was there (May) I rented a bike from Cool Springs and rode all over the western part of the state. Not sure where all I went but sure had a good time.

i use google chrome and the forums load fairly quickly for me except after clicking on my user name to load the statistics page, when i click on 'read all posts by...', i get 'waiting on hdforums' in the status bar. sometimes for almost 30 secs. but after that, everything else seems to run fine.

Not just you Brooklyn. This is the slowest forum I visit. Not a slight, and I appreciate that I can visit here and exchange ideas. But every other forum I visit loads much faster. The page loads here take what seems like forever. Don't know if it's all the ads and graphics that have to load each time or what.

My settings for this site and all the other forums I visit are the same but this one is noticeably slower.

This is a great site and I visit here almost daily. I get more tech info here than anywhere else. So this is not a complaint, just an observation.

You are exactly right. I visit a fair amount of forums and this one, by far is the slowest. It did not use to be that way.

Do this if you haven't tried it,,,,,,download Firefox or Google Chrome or both for a browser, I use spybot and AVG free edition for anti-virus,,, as said keep everything cleaned out,,, occassionally delete your shortcut or bar link and google HDforums.com and use the new link or shortcut, we don't know exactly why that affects the speed, but I think JW hit on it pretty well.

The statistics of a members posts is a problem at the moment dependent on the amount of posts a member has,, seems the lower numbers come up fairly quickly, but the longer time members with say thousands of posts it drags it's feet pretty bad and as a moderator sometimes I need to look at a members posts if there should be some popcorn stuff going on,,, the IT department is supposed to be working on it, we have no direct communication with them, we can only report a problem, but I will bring it up in the mod room again.

As said if you use adblock you can speed up if you have a slower connection speed,, I have 10m/bs cable and even with the ads it runs pretty fast,, sometimes you just have to do like I said and clean out and renew a link,,,, we don't know why but it's our patch, if it doesn't work for you we'll try to work with you to solve the problem if it's on our end, we have put forth the effort to try to help, and we will continue to strive to get better with the help of our memberships input, your voice is heard.

Our forum is a huge forum compared to most forums say with less than 2K members,,, does this make a difference,, yes it does make a difference sometimes, but we are open to constructive criticism and suggestions to make this a better site. I do believe we have the greatest and most vastly knowledgeable group of folks here that I've ever seen, that can solve, fix, explain/diagnosis anything on a HD, or anything else for that matter,,,,,, then argue, fight, meet and greet and share a cold one with the best of them on the internet barr none,,,, hell what more can ya ask for,,,,, I know a faster load time.
