Something I've noticed is that every page has 40 or more images that have to be downloaded before you can do anything.  I have very fast cable modem service so it's only a few seconds delay, but must take over one minute for those poor souls who are on dial-up service.

What happened to the links at the bottom of each page where we used to be able to jump back to the main topic or to any other topic?  Now the only way to do that is to scroll back up to the top.  The links at the bottom were a convenience that I really miss (hint, hint).

Another weird behavior I've noticed is that I frequently get a message at the bottom of the screen saying, "Done, but with errors on the page."  And then it begins to download all of the images.

Thank you.

I was certain the problem wasn't my machine since other pages loaded normally.  My objective was to inform the management in case they didn't know.  It is good to know the problem is being addressed.

Hi Jim the forum pages are always s l o w, I have spoken to the forum IT people and they are trying to make it run faster, but its down to the speed of the servers that regulate how fast it is

Have you updated and ran you anti-virus program like AVG, etc...?

Have you updated and ran Superantispyware?

Have you updated and ran Malwarebytes?

Have you updated and ran Ad-Aware?

Have you ran CWshredder?

Have you updated and ran Spybot?

And last but not lasted run CCleaner to get all the trash picked up temps, cache, etc....

NOTE to staff: I am not affiliated to these sites and or programs, I just use them on my computer to keep it clean.

If that don't work it may be time for new computer.

Tonight the pages of the forums are loading extremely slowly.  Other sites load normally.
