I have made several adjustments that should allow the board to load faster. The bottom line is advertising is the life blood of this site and without it this site would not exist. I have reduced the number of ads and eliminated the Squareoff poll. Hopefully the faster load time will offset the decrease in ads.
Im not interested in speed in loading, what bothers me most is when I type a thread response and it take 5 seconds per character to type it...adbloc works wonders in allowing a response to be typed. Before I used adbloc, I had almost decided to go back to brand x forum...This is one of the best forums on the net for information and us loyal users are what makes it that way..thanks for your response.
