Is TN loading very slow lately?

It's really bad at the moment, took me 4 tries and maybe 5 minutes to even be able to load my own post. All other webpages are fast, and I even did a speed test at www.speedtest.net. The results are below, pretty good:



Anybody else, or just me?

TN has also seemed slow for me...

Here's mine:

Now, if you want to quit waiting for it to load...

If using IE 7, you should change the settings on storing pages. Go to Tools, Internet Options. Select the advanced tab and scroll down to the Security Section and CHECK the box for "Empty Temporary Internet Files When Browser is Closed". This setting saves all pages you visit and tries to load those stored on your computer each time you go back to a page. Eventually though, it slows down your system (when you get thousands of pages in there...and that doesn't take long!) to the point where it's slower for it to search through all those pages until it realizes it has an older copy and then loads the new page.

To be even faster switch to Firefox (trust me on this, to load my comcast page for e-mail it takes IE7 10 seconds to load versus Firefox 3 seconds!). 2 things you need to do in order to speed up Firefox too. First, find the settings in there to also delete the temp files when you close the browser (Tools, Options, Privacy...Under private data check the first check box and click on the settings to make sure the cache is checked, and anything else you want to clear each time you close the browser). The second thing to do is install Adblock Plus. This will save you tons of time because it won't load up all the ads anymore. Go to Tools, Add-ons, click on Browse all add-ons. It'll take you to the add-ons page. Adblock Plus is the second one down on the right under Most Popular.

I used to wait and wait for TN to load using IE. Once I switched to Firefox with Adblock Plus, it's almost instantaneous every time!

Of course, now I'll probably be banned for pointing you in the direction of blocking the ads.:ugh3:
