For some users, Mumsnet is slow. It's a problem with the advertisements.
It's only a problem for some people and not others; what we need to try to do is pin it down a bit more. Lots of people have no problem whatsoever, but clearly a not insignificant number do have a problem. We'd love to help those that are having the problems, but to do so we need to get some more information.
What would be really helpful is if people could let us know the following information if they experience a problem. If you don't know the answers to all the questions don't worry, just answer those you can.
Operating System - Windows 95, 98, 2000, XP, NT, Vista? Mac OS X? etc.
Age of computer (particularly if you don't know what Operating System you're using)
Browser Version - to find this if you're using Windows, go to the Help menu and click About Internet Explorer, or About Mozilla Firefox (if you're using a different browser you probably already know how to find out the version). If you're using a Mac, go to the menu to the left of the File menu which will be the name of the browser, and choose About.
Kind of internet connection - dial up modem, ADSL, cable modem, office connection, etc.
Any other information that you can provide might be useful too.
If we can see a pattern in it then we will have something to talk to the ad serving company about.
