Default Contributions for better bandwidth?

I am not complaining. I have used 3 different machines, all cutting edge on T1 connection.

The delay on this forum is maddening. There are so many quality threads that I want to read, but I get frustrated having to wait on every post to load.

If bandwidth is the problem, or another template would solve the problem, I would be happy to donate or join the forum.

No other bike thread touches the content of this one, and I would love to see it running state of the art.

Once again, not bitching, just throwing out a suggestion.

Thanks for a great forum.

It's OK to complain but I'm using a $300 Toshiba 10.1" Netbook and a $600 Dell using Firefox and the forum is like lightening for me. We had a problem about a week ago and it was really slow and I don't believe it's actually up to speed yet but I'm not having any problems. I also block the ads using an app through Firefox.

I had firefox and that was a big improvement over IE, but google chrome is far faster than firefox for me with dsl.

Bandwidth does seem to be the issue when there are lots of activity. I notice the difference at different times of the day.

I certainly feel for those few that still have a dial-up connection.
