Having technical difficulties....anyone else? Super slow...

[freemotion]

I am getting very frustrated and I don't know if it is my computer or an issue with the forum.....most of the time when I click to view a thread I have to wait and wait and wait, and sometimes it still doesn't come up and I have to click on it again. What I see at the bottom is one of three things: googleads.g.doubleclick.net(blah-blah-blah) or ib.adnx(blah-blah-blah) or a third variation that I didn't write down and didn't see again once I was looking for it. It is the googleads thing I see the most and that is the slowest. Sometimes as much as 30 seconds, and then I have to click again to get to the page.

It sure gets me off the computer fast, and I NEVER look at the ads and WON'T because I am so annoyed!

What is going on? Is it my computer? This is brand-new.

The site is working fine for me. I hope it is not your new computer though, that would suck!

This site has never been slow for me, and my laptop is 3 years old!

I'm having no problems with it, seems pretty zippy to me. Rob will have to weigh in on the things 'loading'. I've been hung up by google analytics in the past, but not for a long time now.

No problems here. I'm pretty sure this computer is close to a decade old.

What browser are you using?

I had problems a few weeks ago, not with this site - another one. I was very frustrated, and a friend suggested I use Google Chrome - I downloaded it and my problem disappeared instantly!

I had to switch over to a different browser just now as my mozilla kept coming up with some kind of spam attached to the site!
it says it is an "attack page" of some sort, but since I am not having a problem on this browser I think it is spam for this "stop badware" or something anyone have any idea how to get it to stop?
it is driving me nuts on my prefered browser.

Emerald, try going to Tools > Options > Security and there should be an 'Exceptions' box, try to type in this website and see if that works?

Thanks so much, I just could not figure out how to fix it by myself!
