Is it me...or is the site running painfully slowly again?

threads are taking an age to load and I think it's the ads causing problems as I keep getting "internet explorer cannot display the web page" in the wee add boxes.

My typing is also appearing in the box very slowly.....tis like watching a ghost writer in action!

Is it just me?

Hmmm. The server is feeling very laid back and cool as a newt in a puddle. Besides, slowness WITHIN your browser, locally to your computer (the cursor changing, slowness typing, the fan speeding up etc.) is definitely not a server issue. It all points to an evil ad.

We need to find the pattern of which ad(s) are causing the problem. When you're having the problems which (if any) ads are displayed? Keep in mind there are some at the bottom of the page too. Also, which browser you're using would be helpful info.

One of the ad servers was doing a bit of infinite recursion (think "I don't know, ask your dad" and then dad saying "I don't know, ask your mum" and repeat forever). Some browsers (e.g. Safari, Internet Explorer) don't like that. Others (e.g. Firefox) coped better with it. We've requested it be removed and right now, for me, it seems much better. Do post if you're still having problems, but as requested before, please include which browser you're using in your post.

Apologies for the inconvenience.
