Yep, you are the only one. But if not, reset your modem, router, or whatever you have and see if it gets any better. Usually its just a matter of unplugging them, then back on. There are other ways, but this often works. Good luck.

It's been an issue for the past year or so; some people see it, some don't, but it's been present...lot of folks see it and a lot have complained.
JB ain't blowin smoke out of his ***, he knows what he's talking about...some of y'all might want to actually read his post.
I'm on fiber optic and it's slow for me as well.

What the heck does all of that have to do with any of this???

If your box blasts along fine on other sites, and the variable is the site in question only, then it ain't your box or your bandwidth or anything else on your end.

What knowledge base did this come from? If everybody in this forum would re-size their pictures to less than say 400 pixels wide, that alone would triple the speed... just sayin'

If you have your end right, and plenty of bandwidth, you can go to lots of sites with big pics and download them in a rush. Many of the bigger pics here aren't hosted here anyway. Right-click on some including my sig, choose Properties, and you'll see that they are hosted at places such as photobucket.com.
I love this site and apparently so do the others on here. It's slow sometimes, but like a Harley, there just ain't no substitute.

If I'm able to post this, it will be a miracle. At work, this site loads between moderately slow and really slow (other than the times it doesn't load at all) - at home, it loads at between really slow and excruciatingly slow. I don't measure this in ms or seconds - we're on minutes here. Many times this is many minutes. No other site loads with a noticable delay.
There is a separate folder somewhere else where you can discuss this with the Admin etc. They seem to lean towards some problem with ISPs but that doesn't make sense to me - but I'm not technically savvy, so what do I know?

Thanks but that didn't help....I'm going with what JDBaker421 says BUT I'm still waiting for the big guy to confirm that its the site's problem
Also as said if you are on a slow connection,, you can turn off pictures in your profile and it will speed it up quite a bit. Try the firefox if you're using IE as your browser. This issue is being looked at by admin,,, I'm sure Terry will have an answer for you Cwilks.

RE: Has anyone ever gotten an answer on....
I'm not saying some of you aren't having problems. If you notice the first page of this thread, there are a bunch of members who have no problem loading this site. I am on broadband and usually the forum is very fast. I did notice that it was running slow for me yesterday. We are not ignoring your questions. I forward these threads to Big Admin every time I read one. The problem is, how can half of the people here have no problems and the other half be terrible. I run Mozilla Firefox now. I finally got tired of IE crashing every time I spent anytime here. I never have an ounce of problems with firefox. About March of this year, one of the Moderators here could not post or pm anyone without the forum hanging up and timing out. None of the other Moderators or Admins were having any problems at all. I'll check and see what's up and get back to you.
Thanks,
Terry
P.S. Threads do not disappear here unless Admin or the Moderators pull them. I know we aren't having a problem with threads disappearing on their own.

Cwilks,,,have you even PM'd Terry?? I just went to Firefox as the browser on my computer,,, big difference in speed over IE,,, this site is smoking fast for me now,,http://en-us.www.mozilla.com/en-US/

I'm trying to see if he'll answer in the open forum so everyone else who is having problems can see the answer John.......I'm NOT on a slow connection and I don't have problems anywhere else so I shouldn't have to turn anything off I also shouldn't have to switch to a browser I don't want to use.......awful lot of people using IE so I'm thinking JB is right......its on the site end. If this is the way it is than so be it but someone (in the know about the site) needs to answer this question.........just sayin

RE: Has anyone ever gotten an answer on....
Cwilks,,the browser suggestion was just that,,, it's real easy to do,, and it's worked great so far for me,,, if you don't want to try it then you don't have to, but I think if you want to complain and not try something that might help then quit complaining. Turning things off was a suggestion for slower connections like dial up not for higher speeds such as yours.
If you read all of my post you'll see I said admin is working on it,, a forum of this size is a monster to run compared to very small sites with few members. I don't know what the problem is,, JB has a theory,, admin is working on it, as soon as an answer can be given it will be.
