Is it like this all the time?
You may want to check traces to the site when you're running slow to make sure its not the network... last few nights I have been slow to the site as well, because of my trace I've seen its network related. (300+ ping) At least one of the nights it's been the ISPs router going flakey, so everyone would see the slow downs... ]=( Still no word on the new ISP, they keep F'in us over with lies about install dates... |

Slow screen changes each time I visit.
Last night at 10pm it was a 30 second hang time. Ugh! I was trying to read a 9 page thread, and quickly calculated that I would be spending 4+ minutes just waiting for screen changes. This morning at 8am we are back to "Just" a 25 second hang time. [:(] |

It must have something to do with what backbone you are on.
I was on last night, and it was normal speed. However, when I log on from work... it is PAINFULLY slow. You click, the screen goes black, then you wait.... maybe 15-20 seconds. I load a lot of pages at once, and read one while the others load, using "open in new window" Seems to me to be network related. Hey GB... i sent you a friendly email a while back, but never got a response. Also, I singed up as a member on 10/23... paypal... and haven't gotten anything yet. Am I on some "bad" list? [peep] |

I sentcha replies a few times... I hope the emails are getting through...
Email me ASAP and also forward me the paypal receipt because I couldnt find it and assume its a typical email address that didn't match anything I have in the system... (Put on hold till you're identified!) |

What version browser and type are you using...
Also, go into your profile and switch off the dynamic menus if you have them on, that should save you a few seconds of load time... Announcement coming shortly regarding a new "release" of the site in an upgraded and streamlines version. (More of an interactive interface look!!!) ]=) |

i say get a faster processor and more memory.
also, defrag your pc once, twice a week, and erase all unecessary crap (temp files, history files, unused programs, that damned AOL crap that seems to come with every pc, dumb-ass screensavers, i could go on and on...but i wont). did i mention getting a faster processor? |

Heehee... I would at least suggest getting more memory... with todays prices you can't go wrong...
128megs = $5-10 256megs = $5-20 (Depends on brands, speeds, etc) ]=) |

WHAT HAPPENED?
I'm now getting close to "normal" expected hang times (2 seconds or so). The only change I made yesterday was to turn off the dynamic menu option. That gave me a very little speed increase, but nothing to write home about. Well, in any event, I'm happy now. [:)] PS: I've maxed out this machine with 74 Mb. of RAM. As soon as I get a spare $800, I'll make an upgrade. But, without a paying job that is going to take awhile. |

You can replace those simms (or dimms) with larger ones...
like I said, the 256s run $20 and the 128s run about $5-$10!!! ]=) |
