Is it my computer or is it just on this forum, but it seems dreadfully slow opening windows and not on any other forum I’m on. [?]
Working just fine on high speed cable here in Ohio.
Sometimes
it’s
slow. [:D]
But as we all know, life is much slower in the South.[:D]
Buckeye, it even shows in how they talk ! ! !
it is slow in Va.
it has more to do with the popups at the top of the pages and the number of responses for a given post. if you open the “pot of coffee” post with hundreds of posts back years it is a slooooooooooow screen pop

running good for me in Chicago, but we like things fast here [:D]
I have a fast connection and very good pop up blockers though… If you can’t do anything about the connection, consider the Yahoo or Google pop up blockers… they work very well, and the best part is they’re free!
Sent them an email about it this AM. One time today, it almost stopped. Then it took off again and ran fine. Just did it a few minutes ago. I’m running on RR cable. I just checked the cable [RR users can do that] and it shows running at high speed. Other fourms were running great when this one was running slow. I think it is the increased usage. They also run certain things that slow it down [mainly late at night] per an email I got weeks ago about this subject. As far as those obnoxious Yankees, you ignore them because they can never tell the truth [they really love sweet ice tea and grits [;)]].
I’m on dial-up, but this forum is usually slow compared to the OGR forum or Yahoo groups for me. Joe
It is slow. And yesterday morning, it was not accessable for about 45 minutes.

I thought that my computer was acting up yesterday morning, almost wanted to replace it , glad to hear that it is this site!. Used to think it was dial-up from AOL(rip-off city) that was slow & now even DSL service from the phone company is about the same.

At home on dial up it is SLOW.
Here at school real fast.

I have come to believe that web sites, like this forum, deliberately pause after putting their advertising on at the top of the page. Every site I frequently visit does this–except for the www.worldrailfans.info site, which has no advertising motivation. (It is run by a very nice ex-Briton named John Oxlade in New Zealand.)
I was having a terrible time with the forum, very slow, and the browser would crash occasionally.
The fix I found was using a different browser. I had been using Explorer, but the site works much better for me using Mozilla Firefox, or Safari (I’m on a Mac)
You want to try that.

I use both Explorer and Firefox. I have noticed that in most instances, pages load faster with Firefox.
Jim, not you. You are a Yam Dankee. [;)] I’m sending the kids a free subscription to GRIT magazine. [;)] Does that still exist???
since daylight savings time has been turned on by the feds, everything seems to have slowed down. Too much big government!
