I still say it's something to do with the Vodafone flash banner or maybe more than one of them.

You had the same/similar problem last year.

Thing is wine~o, DiyNot are having the same or similar go slow problems.

The big ads are the only thing that's common, and UHM had a problems with them last year.

Perhaps whether we are using Adobe or other makes a difference.

23".

If I click on a post it loads before I can get the mouse the other side of the screen, at the moment I can do 5 trips before it fully loads.

I did notice when John was on the computer today, there was an horrendous volume of ads, I would say at least 70% of the page.

I would say third of a page at the top, then the Original post, then at least 7 ads, before the first reply, and more ads at the bottom.

No idea if it helps or not, all this rambling.

At the moment Firefox 6 loaded today on 64bits, is twice as fast as the previous version on 32bits.

It was slow here for 5 minutes, even static pages would not load fully (the text loaded but not the images), then all of a sudden the site went back to full speed as if by magic :?
