slower everyday, plus it claims I have bad token, or some other crapola.....

No one ever responds when I ask, but they do respond on "other " issues not relating to the site speed or tokens or the software glitches...

Hopefully not true, but this is why I was hesitant in posting my performance work arounds in the first place.

Well I normally view the site on IE with the add-on enabled, and the pages on this site usually comes up in less than a second.

I just tested Firefox with the same add-on as you and this thread came up in less than a second, even while not logged in, i.e. more ads. I actually think the set up in Firefox is faster than IE, but still use IE as my primary browser.

It's running slower for me lately....
It's sucks because I love this site.

Firefox and adBlock rules. Works great!

For those of you still having performance issues with this site, I upgraded to Firefox 3.5, and still using the Adblock Plus add-on, and the site screams.

I am sure that many members here have had serious peformance problems, however I have never had that issue. They may try some fixes and I hope
for best for them.

Let me clarify, Firefox 3.5 is brand new, past couple of days. It is supposedly 2X faster than the previous version 3.0x. I was getting good performance with the older version, but the 3.5 version seems to be instantaneous, with the add-on enabled.

I put up with a very slow web site for a while, but everything seems to be back to normal now. I did not change anything.

Yes, site is slow.

IE8 and roadrunner...always has been slow.

My Firefox didn't load an update file correctly (not 3.5), so I had to use Internet Explorer for a while. This site then ran REALLY slow, and lots of ads I didn't ever see before. It crashed a few times,too. I reloaded Firefox, and now the site flies, and no ads to boot! Mozilla rocks!
