WEll Im having problems with this site again, I surf other sites and they work fine (Break,ebay,craigslist) but this site gets hung up alot from here at home and from work . IT just wont load the page completely and then just hangs, it has been like this for the last few days .


I did notice that when I try surfing here when not logged on it happens more often.

Is it just me or are there others ?

I have been having problems for a long time, when I posted about it, everyone said I was crazy...

Never really have problems with not loading, just loading really really slowly.

I let tech know about it again.
A lot of the times it is the ad partners at fault.
There is stuff that loads from the from their own sites, and if they have an issue, it effects us here.

Could be a router issue, I'm not having issues at home or at work. Try FireFox. I have not really used IE for quite sometime. Might help

Apparently, here on the West Side, YT is sloooooow. I think I upgraded to Windows2000 last week, and we got that new fangled 57k interweb thingie.

I know a while back there were issues and a bunch of us all over were having problems. Maybe I'm just slowing down so I don't notice it being slow.

Site has been running awesome for me here lately, no crashes and extremely fast.

I have now made the switch to FireFox, been using it for a month or so now.
I would highly recommend either IE7 or FireFox - IE8 sucks major .

If you are having specific issues please post them up with a screenshot of whatever error you are getting.

I posted in this thread back when. Just saw it pop up on my lunch, so I switched to this whole firefox thing, and wow, its pretty fast. Faster than IE8 for sure. I like it.

Its pretty cool. Have to tinker with it a little more.

Funny thing is, I had just "upgraded" to IE8. It was stupid slow and I kept getting a "not responding" message.
