i have a brand new computor and the forum takes forever to load.same thing happens at work with there computors.the rest of the website works fantastic.after you do get on the forum it usually works great once you close the window and then reopen it.sometimes iit won't load at all at work or home.i also don't get email notices any more when someone replies to a thread.

What kind of internet connection do you have? Are you using a laptop? Also, at what time of day is it taking a long time to load?

Its probably the connection

I would exchange the new Fireline computer for a new Thinkmate  ;D

I found that my replys were sent to my spam folder.  check there.

I've never had a problem and I'm on here all the time.  

It's probably your connection.

IE is dreadfully slow, google chrome is fast..no problems at all.

I had the same problem a couple of weeks ago.  Glenn suggested a few things, talked to the isp people.  I dealt with it for a week or so,  and I guess fixed itself.  Been working fine so far.  Only thing we could come up with was the problem started after Firefox updated versions.  I dunno.  

All I can say for sure is, "loading slow" is an understatement.

Mine is slow again also.  Have tried everything I can do on this end to no avail.  Guess will live with it and not be on here as much.

maybe its the power pro gods raining down on you.

try deleting everything in the Cookies folder.....the temporary internet folder and the temp folder.

Everything is fine here. Hope it gets better for you.

Mines always been fast...

It has always loaded slow for me, with the old computer and this new new one. It's fine once it loads, though.

I'm a regular on a several other forums (a few with much more traffic than this site), and this is the only one that loads slowly.

this one loads fine for me. some of my other forums are dirt slow though. im using firefox.

Guys, this is one of the very few forums that automatically checks grammar and spelling when you post a message.  Due to all of the spelling and grammar atrocities that are being perpetuated these days, the server slows down to a crawl trying to figure out what people are trying to say.   ;D
