many will benefit from using the chrome browser with the notscript extension, which will block ads and javascripts which can slow things down. firefox with noscript is 2nd choice.

this site and others get way jammed up at peak times and the wackiness includes double posts etc.

so it goes.

Apparently there is a server/internet connectivity issue. Whats going on with this site that I have witnessed over the last couple of days I believe has little to do with ads or your browsers ability to block ads or even your browsers speed. The problem is definitely in their server network...somewhere. Granted, sometimes ads can and do slow down the loading of a page. But I believe the issues that we are all experiencing, some more than others, have a root cause somewhere else.

I use Chrome all of the time and hdforums has been gimped-up for a few days now. Several posts never made it, they failed after constant retries. Then all your typing input is lost. I am sure they are working on it, but they may be at the mercy of others. And you know how that goes sometimes.

Been a chrome user for a couple of years now (maybe 3) and will never use IE as it is a slow piece of junk. Plus, IE doesn't work on my MBP OS.
