Why should we need to "try all the fixes"? My computer runs fine on hundreds and hundreds of sites. Only this one is a PITA. Seems there should be a fix on the other end, not my end.

I keep up maintenance on my computers. They are up to date and free of the virus and spyware stuff. I frequent a number of Forums and have no issues with them.
I used my new iPad last eve running Safari and had speed issues as well. I have tried other networks and browsers but still have same (speed) issues.

Not pissed, just reporting.

I ain't going to download any Google Chrome BS. If IE works on every other site, it should work on this one! Maybe the folks running this site should make this a pay site, trash all the BS ads, and let us decide if we want to participate. I'd pay a few bucks a year to participate, but not with the slow a$$ service and all the BS pop - up ads. Oops - I'm probably going to get banned again for expressing my opinion. I keep forgetting - opinions aren't welcome on this site. We all have to pretend we appreciate the fine work being done by the folks that got all those fine ads for us to ignore.

There are a lot a people who IE seems to work for, I
wonder why. I have IE9 and it work's good for me, and
no, no adds either. If people would take a good look at
their own stuff and update it once in a while or check
support for problems, it would also help. MS support
fixed problems for me many times. I had Firefox and it
wouldn't show flash streams on here but fox had a cure
and it was fixed. Sometimes you gotta do what you have
to or go on grumbling. As far as not downloading "that
google chrome bs," too bad, I also have it, and it's fast
and also with no adds. Take the bull by the horns and
make your browsing enjoyable.

Ya know, first I bitched then I tried all the fixes that finally made IE work. Today it's back to the same crap. If I want to keep using this site it will have to be with Firefox.
Sorry HDF but I'm now convinced it's on your end at least for IE users.

This was suggested on this site by another member and it fixed the slowness of this site. I do not know what I am no longer seeing that is being blocked, perhaps paying advertisers with a lot of load up time slowed furhter by your virus checker.

I have simple-adblock and you just reminded me of something. It's a free 30-day trial and I think maybe it's over. Maybe that's why the site has slowed again. I'm not going to pay for it when this is the only site I have issues with.
