Default Why is this forum so slow?

I really like this forum. Liked it enough to join but it sure is slow. I'm not a computer guru so I guess it could be my computer or connection although other forums I get on seem to be alot faster. Anyone else have the same problem or fix?

No fix on your end, the sever may not be able to handle all the connections or the network traffic

I don't know what it is or how to fix it , but I have noticed that pages open a bit slower on the forum here . I always figured it had something to do with the way it was set up .

Quit using other forums and you won't notice.

Seriously, a while back I started using firefox and block the ads, it sped it up.

it's been extremely slow past 2 weeks for me as well, especially when responding to posts.
you're not alone. I use Firefox with ad blocker

Well this one isn't that slow, but I notice it's slower than other sites and forums. Still not slower by much, just barely enough to notice. It's not slow enough to get on my nerves too much though.

The browser you use might be the reason to, Internet Explorer seems slow on any site compared to what I use which is Google Chrome.

It's free for us and bandwidth and servers are pretty pricey so it's fine, it's like our bikes you want more power and speed you're going to open the old wallet.

Are you using internet explorer? I was, and the site was REALLY slow. Downloaded FIREFOX and it is tolerable now. In another thread someone suggested GOOGLE CHROME. Good luck!
