    Default Site slow lately

    The forums have been really slow for me lately yet other forums running the same software have been normal.

    Been slow the last couple of days, the page will load then freeze for about 5 seconds before you can do anything.

    Cheers.

    I can't say I've noticed any problems, load a little higher than usual the past month but nothing to worry about.

    Will second the Chrome as an alternative, seems to be a fair bit quicker.

    Can't remember the reason I went back to Firefox now, believe it could have been netusage addon.

    Back to explorer because the other browsers wouldnt allow me to get rid of flash which keeps locking my browsers up. Id uninstall it but it would still run in all but explorer.

    Think Ive narrowed it down to the ads causing the web page lag.

    sometimes as websites get bigger the severs cant take the load anymore, its just like how your PC slows down when you clog up you hard drives. With forums Pictures are the worst offenders.

    Yeah, when I'm not studying lol

    But this site has been fine for me. I have been on others that take a minute to load, not logging you in, make your browser crash. so I doubt we are there yet.
