No matter what I do HD Forums takes 4 to 10 seconds to fully load a new page. Adblocker will block ads that pop-up or try to load but since the the ads here are part of the HTML of the page there no way to turn them off.
My work computer is junk with a **** poor internet connection and takes up to 60 seconds to load a page if it loads at all. Ive pretty much givin up trying to open HDforums from work.
I considered becoming a premium member but it does not limit the ad loading so speed wise it doesn't change anything. I'm a premium member on several sites which the main feature is it kills the ads for premium members and loads in a blink of the eye.

I would think it may internet providers, computer settings or lots of cookies in temp folders may be a issue. I have 4 computers 2 with windows 7 and 2 with XP that I view numerous forums including this one. I have roadrunner at home a Verizon MIFI hotspot and travel and connect on lots of different motel servers. The only time I may have a problem with internet sites is with a motel server and then I just use the MIFI Hotspot receiver if there is a Verizon signal. All sites load before I can count to 2 usually.
When things start to slow down I run Super AntiSpyware and Malwarebytes Anti Malware free versions and empty my Temp folders and things go back to normal. Ive never had an issue loading internet sites beyond a few seconds which I consider OK for me.

Now I have been using Chrome and adblocker for awhile now it it works tons better then IE. I still use IE for everything else.
Funny but now I get this. Kinda tells you that something is up with the vendor/sponsor adds.
