Well - after a year of putting up with the slow site, I bit the bullet amd downloaded Google Chrome. holy crap batman - the site runs like lightning compared to the way it ran on IE. Now I just need to spend some time getting familiar with Google Chrome.

Yeh this site has slowed down considerably in the past week or two. Takes -FOREVER- to completely open a window. LIke 5 or 10 minutes using Chrome with ad blocker. I wouldn't even try IE with it's even slower loading time.
Apparently the site has gone corporate with the new ownership and they are packing in so many ads and bullsh!t portions of the forums that it takes way too long to load a window up. Sad to see that kind of change after seeing the way it was originally. Might be part of the reason so many of the old timers are now gone....and with them a wealth of information.

I have Chrome, Firefox and IE9, they all run fast!!
You need to keep everything updated on your end.

It pays to keep an open mind. I've had the occasion
where I've had problems and it did end up on my end.
For what's its worth, I've had no problems here for a
long time, the site is fast and no glitches. Keep in mind,
there are over 200,000 posters here and three or four
have a problem, what does that say??

How come I'm able to read & load pages just fine on my iPad but on my laptop it's slow & sluggish? I've tried Firefox, Chrome, ad blocker, turning off flash player, etc.

So I am stuck with the slow *** IE - Google Chrome is busted and the fixit site doesn't work. I think I'll go for a ride now.
