Default HDForums Website slow?

Are any of you experiencing unusually slow webpage loading or is my broadband just not acting very "broad" lately? Seems to be this site only.

My opinion is their server has grown too small for all the users. They had a bug but I thought they cleared it. I get the circle icon quite often and mine times out. Usuall a double click will get it the second time.

Yes indeed, Safari is working much faster.

This is one of the slower fora in which I participate. There are a lot of users here, but I belong to a photography forum that has many more, and is much faster.

When I enter the forum using Yahoo, performance is dismal. Google seems to be better.

It was getting slow for me even with Firefox, but it got a lot better the last few days. There has been a lot of post lately about this

Gave up and went to Google Chrome for a browser. Lost my iespell spell check for the window and now trying to get it back. Any way to make iespell (which is a spell check from the right mouse click drop down) work with chrome?
Chrome spell check is pretty clunky

fyi, if using firefox, go into tools, then options, then go to the content tab and inside there is a "enable Java" box. UN CHECK IT. This will turn your browser into a rocket. And if you have issues with some sites you can always go back and turn it on...
