Default This Site is Tooooooo Slow

I wouldn't mind the commercials, but that add for "A Mighty Heart" takes a year to get past.
It's definately slowing everything down.
Can't we have just simple commercials that don't take up so much RAM or whatever it does?

Also, I love the cover art of the flying dragon, but I'm starting to get tired of looking at it while I'm waiting. And waiting. And waiting. If that is contributing to the slow-down, I'd rather get rid of it.

Comments? Shall we do a poll?

I haven't had any problems with the site being too slow. Maybe it depends on how much power your computer has.
My problem is trying to figure everything out since I was gone. lol

What type of connection do you use? What browser are you using? What version of the browser? What screen resolution are you using?

Also, I have been attempting to improve the speed through some optimization tips, but so far, the suggestions have only caused problems. Thousands of people were disconnected this past week alone. Rather frustrating but I have spent hours each night on trying to speed up the site.

Huh? Are you asking me? I'm a blond.
My son handles all that stuff.

So anyway,
Can't we have just simple commercials that don't take up so much RAM or whatever it does?
And is the cover art of the flying dragon contributing to the slow-down?

Please find out from your son the answers because this will help me.

To answer your questions - the site layout is not done. We were stalled when permission problems became the priority.

My daughter says we use Verizon online DSL.
Internet Explorer, unsure of the version, "the one that doesn't let you put up tabs."
She doesn't know the rest. I'll ask the other kid sometime.

This is a javascript problem and not present on some versions of Internet Explorer, while worse on IE7. The devs are aware of the problem and thought commenting out a line fixed the issue. As this message is typed in IE - I can assure you that the problem is not fixed. What a pain !

Firefox browser loads quickly -

I'll find out the answers to those questions, but I too am having speed problems. I had them on another computer as well.
