I\'m otta here

I,m sorry, I like the people, but this page take three minute to load each post on a cable modem. I guess they don't care. It so frustating. This is the only site I have that does it. So I cant hang all day . I guess I make a visit one a month or so. This site just hate my computer. Nothing that anybody done. Its the software

Re: I\'m otta here

Thats weird. I have a cable modem and it loads the pages in about 10 seconds. Better check your connections or your puter. Try www.toast.net Click on "Free performance test" on the bottom right. They can help you out.

Re: I\'m otta here

Hate to hear that BB,
I'm on DSL and it don't take long for my stuff to wrk. I blame most of my computer worries to the freakin' popups. I'm continually having to delete them.
Maybe you have some software issues?
There's some good geeks here that may be able to give you some insight.
Good luck!

Re: I\'m otta here

Yeah. All I can get is dial-up at 26K where I live, and it usually only takes 30 secs or so. It has been kinda glitchy this week, though. Maybe try back in a few weeks? I need all the help I can get on this Jeepster thing.

Re: I\'m otta here

I also have the same problem. I went and ran the toast.net check and my connection is great......but this site loads slower than a running turtle in the dead of winter.
At times I was going to respond to a post....but closed the window because of how slow it was and of course due to the pop-ups.........my normal action for sites having pop-ups is to quit visiting them and this site is getting close to being on that list too.

Re: I\'m otta here

I don't have any software for anti-popups. Ebay is pure hell, but I've never seen a SINGLE one here. I save the actual forum as a favorite, and just click on that to open it. Maybe you guys don't????

Re: I\'m otta here

OH! I just thought of something. I had those stupid "save now" popups all the time. Then I had a mysterious toolbar appear on my computer one day. I clicked on "help" I think on it. Somehow got to an FAQ thing. One option was "what if I don't want this toolbar?" It turned out it was from the same people as the "save now" crap, and both were actual

PROGRAMS on my computer!!!!!! Went to Control panel, uninstalled both, and both have been gone without a trace ever since ( several months). Hope that info can help somebody.

Re: I\'m otta here

The Google toolbar is the best anti-popup blocker, IMO. I haven't seen a popup since I installed it.

http://toolbar.google.com/

The latest Netscape also has popup blocking capability built into it.

I'm on a cable modem and this page loads fast sometimes, other times it's slow. If it's slow I just close it and come back later.

Re: I\'m otta here

I haven't had any problems with speed on this site. I am at home now on dialup and I can load the pages in about 15 seconds. As for popups, I use Mozilla (the basis for Netscape) which blocks popups and has other cool features like easy Google searching from the address bar. IMO, it puts Internet Explorer to shame.

Re: I\'m otta here

I too am on dialup at home. Pages take 10-15 seconds to load most of the time. Only one popup when I log in and no more until I log out again? How can we be getting such varying degrees of performance? I am on AOL, does that make a difference?

Re: I\'m otta here

I've had some loading problems with this forum a couple of times... Clearing my cookies, shutting down, coming back on and logging in fresh has corrected things...

No adware, no spyware, no popups......

Re: I\'m otta here

I have a broad band too and don't have a problem but the system is a little slow this am with all the snow and people staying home. You may just be unlucky when you attempt this site.

Yahoo has a new popup feature on the search toolbar...just download for free. Haven't had a popup in 2 weeks.

Re: I\'m otta here

And... Have you done your annoying little maintenance items? defrag, clearing recycle bin and such?
This is my favorite site and it can be a bit slow at times but I'd rather be here than most other places on the web

Al - what's the weather like in Greeneville? I'm supposed to be there tomorrow.

Re: I\'m otta here

If, you have it saved in your favorites I would delete it and then re-save it in your favorites. I use dsl at work and a phone line at home and it always loads real fast for me but it won't refresh on its own - I'm constantly having to refresh to see new posts. I use the latest internet explorer and the pop-ups are enough to drive me bonkers. I get them about every 30 seconds. It's worse on E-bay. POW does not even work on them anymore. I think I'll try one of the suggested tool bars. You can also go to your "internet options" under the "tool" dropdown - click on the privacy tab, then the advanced button and allow 3rd party cookies or hit the "edit" button and list this site as one to always accept cookies from. Oh yeah - AOL 9.0 blows. I've been saying that about every new version since 5.0.

Re: I\'m otta here

my pages here load fine but my internet explorer always shows one item remaining to download. They have something, a link or something that has a problem.

As long as I can read the forum I don't care.

Re: I\'m otta here

AOL broadband/cable. No pop-ups and it loads instantly.
