From GoatBoy's network error post...
................ - Flush Your DNS go to a command prompt (start, run, type "cmd") and type "ipconfig /flushdns" - Renew your IP lease go to a command prompt (start, run, type "cmd") and type "ipconfig /renew" ....................... I did this... And ARFCOM is working much better now. My problems started as soon as I upgraded to AVG 9 as well. ETA: Go into AVG 9 and do the following... - Click on the tools tab ––> click on Advanced settings - Click on Web Shield (on the left hand side) - Un-check Web Shield - Click Apply then click Ok - Close AVG and restart your browser ETA-2: Found another thing that helped... - Click on the tools tab ––> click on Advanced settings - Click on Link Scanner (on the left hand side) - Un-check Active Surf Shield - Click Apply then click Ok - Close AVG and restart your browser ETA-3: FireFox users, there is a new version of FireFox avaiable. - While in FireFox, Click on the Help tab ––> Check for Updates ETA-4: Some are having a hard time finding WebShield. I believe this is in paid version only.  |

Bump for a good post.
Seems like new AVG has some issues in default settings for some users. |

Can't use Firefox. |

Cleaned the dns and renewed
Still having bad arfcom issues with Firefox (latest update released today) IE8 seems to be working better, but still trying to break arfcom with it 
Safari was never a problem with arfcom or any other website, and have been using it almost exclusively for the past few days FWIW,,, Jay |

Sorry for the off topic, but things were going really slow here so I downloaded Google Chrome based on some positive comments in a GD thread recently. This is fast as hell!

I've heard a lot about people experiencing problems with FF and it getting very slow and bloated after a few months requiring a reinstall. Is this true? Have you experienced this?

I use firefox and it's always super fast. I would imagine that people with problems are using a number of plug-ins or possible some plug-ins that block certain aspects of sites (advertising, code chunks, etc) which in turn slows their browsing. A clean version of firefox should be as fast as anything else. |

Firefox installed and running great. I can't tell any speed difference between this and Chrome. Lots faster than IE8. No add ons or themes installed yet. I figure I'll pass on that for speed's sake...

The problem with the net these days is all these "add-ons" for browsers. Trying to develop a site is hard enough considering the number of browsers out there, but when you include security software and all their issues and browser mods, it's near impossible to resolve issues without telling someone to just turn everything that's garbage off. (Technically not all of it is garbage, but most is.
)Glad it's working for you with Firefox. |

Nothing has changed in the past few weeks outside of the site being shut down during the http flood a few days ago. That would impact ISP and network caching only. This isn't overly common, but it's done to speed up page loading.
We'll be making changed to the load balancer soon and hopefully that. |
