Default Is HDForums slowing down for everyone or just me?

I think HDForums needs to reboot their servers. In the last couple of weeks it is slowing to a crawl. By the time the thread pops up, I forgot what I was looking at. Is anybody else seeing a slow down?

I'm on a 12 Mbps connection and it does not load as quickly as it once did. Its not crawling by any means but it is certainly not instantaneous. It may be a bandwidth issue?

Udawg, do you clear your history and browser on a regular basis. If not I recommend it highly. With all the other crap that comes along with opening any of these pages, I also recommend cleaning and Reorganizing your C drive. It will expunge anything not being currently being used. I do this procedure about monthly now days, and it really picks up the pace. Do restart your computer after cleansing and reformatting.
This will help tremendously!

Just you. Delete all your temporary files, defragment the hard drive and set up the computer for the best internet connection speed.

Get a utility that cleans your registry also.

One program that does it all is System Mechanic Pro. Your computer will run faster than when it was new with it.

I do. About once a month usually but just cleared it again and it still took 10 seconds to load this box to reply.

The problem is only on HDforums, not V-twin forums or Harley-Davidson forums or other forums. I doubt my computer would be prejudice.

Well, apparently it has something to do with IE9. I just remembered I switched to IE9 about the time it started and I just logged off and logged on with Google Chrome and it seems to be working fine. Sorry for the post. I think IE9 may not be ready for prime time yet.
