Malware and adware makes me want to become a cybergeek who hunts these scumbags down... literally. Would probably make a good movie. Anyway- I have not had any problems recently.

Anyone else having troubles? Timing out, slow etc...? Both Kos and myself so it's not just me. Anyone else?

what kind of Internet are you on (dial-up, DSL, etc.)

for sure one thing that causes page loading problems is page size. the base HTML for these pages is minimal, but each page has 300 kB+ minimum of Javascript & related HTML files - i only counted the ones 10K or bigger.


just as a test - how does your browser work when you load a Craigslist page ?

i just looked at one in the 4 sale category with 100 listings - only 35K total. loads fast.


one other possibility is switching browsers ... or trying different browsers when you have Task Manager open, to see which one bogs down your personal computer vs. web page load time.

Gundriller, DSL or Cable. I tried a larger CL page and it was almost instant. I can always try Safari if it gets any more out of hand.

it's good to try different browsers and your experience might be different than mine. i find that Safari is a memory hog - on some computers.

i have a dual-core laptop that can run Firefox & Netscape 4.79 (aka Seamonkey, one of Mozilla's side-projects) - AND a 3D modelling application. but as soon as i fire up Safari - it's Game Over. on that laptop it has Vista 32 'Ultimate' (as in Ultimate Rip-off ?).


i find a lot of web page loading problems can be gotten around by switching browsers. also by re-booting. also by minimizing how many mainstream media web pages you have open because they tend to have a lot of video ads which suck up system resources.

Last night I had a database error message from this site when I did a page reload. But it did not display an error code. It cleared up as soon as I did another reload. Plus going by what others have said, I do not think it is any individual members problem. I could be wrong,

Question can a user get a site database error, and there is nothing wrong with the forum/site, itself?

The only times I have seen this happening here and at the old home site, was when something was wrong with the site itself.

And it can not be a coincidence that several members are reporting problems all at the same time! Scattered randomly, yes I can see it happening.

But not all at once. IMHO
