For some reason, this site seems to be running REALLY slow for the last few days depending on which items are clicked. All other sites running fine. What's up?

 

the ads and links in this place are incredible.. i use firefox/mozilla and use the ad blocker.. zips right along like a hemi cuda..

I don't even try to get on here using IE..

 

Yep! Too many ads but i guess that's what keeps internet brands (the owner of the forum) on the game.

 

In your browser if you disable shockwave/flash then this site speeds up significantly. One or two of the ads on the site right now is slowing the whole site significantly. Until it is identified and removed the best thing to do is disable shockwave/flash plug in and the problem is solved.

 

New owner. Lot more adds. Some of the pop ups like to hide the top bar USER CP for me and takes refresh to get rid of it. Sucks and it's not even Harley. Was running chrome but it's not so user friendly as Microsoft for the younger set and the wife around here. Have to run the IE emulator sometimes and know when to.

 

I was wondering if it was just my system or possibly the new internet carrier I have. Guess it's not on this end.

 

Five words of wisdom here - "Google Chrome with Ad Blocker."

 

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.

 

The OP here...I HAVE Chrome with Ad Blocker...it's not the ads, it's something about this site. All other sites are flying right along except this one.

 

Exactly
