Time to fix the board again...

[sucka]

This thing is slower than molasses - on both my T-1 connection at the office and my cable modem at the house.

Often times I'm finding that clicking on a link to a forum or a post has to be done twice for the board to even accept it. Strange.

When it does, it literally takes several seconds to think about it then show me the new page. The graphics then take another several seconds to load behind it, if they even do.

Does this have anything to do with the banner ads? I'm not sure how you can do it - but perhaps you should consider designing the pages so that the banner code loads AFTER the content of the page. It appears that in some cases the banner ads are taking a while to load and in doing so slows down the rest of the page.

I dunno - all I know is that the forum is terribly slow and has been for several days. I really feel bad for you folks on dialup.
