This site is slow!

I've mentioned this several times. I'm running a dual core machine at 3.2 ghz with 6gb of ram and a cable connection with a fresh copy of xp and 2 different browsers and it doesn't seem to matter. I think it's all the adds loading that slows it down.

Sorry for your problems, guys.

That really sounds like a browser issue. The ads should always load last, regardless of overall surfing speed.

Interesting. Adds load first on my PC also. Windows Explorer, Windows XP, DSL connection.

Internet Explorer or Firefox?

I visit this site from multiple locations. I use firefox and never seem to have any major issues. Once in a while I do get a slow page load (probably my issue unrelated to the site) and when I do the ads seem to show up 1st.

I have the same problem...the site is slow and has unfortunately led to me visting less. I have the problem both at home and at work, with IE and Firefox. Both coneections are cable hi-speed. The ads load first for me too, regardless of computer or browser.

Len,
The ads load first on my computer at home, and at my office.
I run cleaning software on a regular basis. Much more than that I wouldn't know what to do. I am not going to download a bunch more software. I am not a computer guy, just a ditch digger. Hopefully, it won't get to much more difficult to visit this site, as I enjoy visiting.
