I'm at work now and it's the same, so it's definitely not my computer, we have quite a fast internet thingy here.
It will get to the point where people won't bother. But then again, I am addicted to Farm Town on facebook, so rarely come here now cos my crops may be ready for harvesting!

As to the bloody speed on this site. It is still bad, might be slightly better but for FFS please sort out these google ad doubleclick ****e,they slow down everything. Sure you want advertising but at the expense of the members being able to use this forum ?
I hope not

Sorted for me now. How ?
By using firefox or safari and blocking every single ******* advert, doubleclick, scorecard, google stuff going. In fact bar signing up for plus membership and turning off the rest of the ads, this is the best and cheapest way. If IB decide that we are bloody morons that can stand this amount of advertising and not pay anything, then so be it. I will switch off anything that gives them a shred of data or advertising revenue.
The sad thing is I used to support this forum by having plus membership for many years and even have the orange/blue membership as well. Even then I still allowed some adverts to pass through as a way of giving something back to the forum.
Being treated like idiots is different and as such I will respond likewise.

Obviously something has been donw to improve the speed, but it just highlighted to me the fact that whilst it took ages for your post to be displayed the ads and data cultivation was still working for them.

I have been doing all that for a fair old while, in fact i have been doing it since ex-webby had a go at me for something, just to **** the muppet off
but my speed has still been crap the past few days, with all the ****e blocked, so i`m afraid your fix is probably coincidence

You can also install a flash blocker to get rid of the crappy flash adverts
IIRC i also have "customise google" installed to get rid of the google crap

24 secs for the page to change
Is it just me who feels like this, but I resent having to use a different browser, or install XYZ to access SN in a timely manner... foof that!! I am also going to go and harvest my farm.. my bleddy onions grow faster than changing threads in this place
