Hi all, just joined this site yesterday but I'm finding it to be really really slow. Is it just me? My general internet speed is fine it's only when I come on here. I tried closing all other pages I had open and any programmes I had running but it made no difference. So is this normal for here

I had just the problem that some virus-scanners took to long to scan every single new opened site. I had G-Data internet security and changed it to AntiVir, now it´s working fine.

Hmmm, I use Mcafee - so maybe it's that causing the problem then? Ah well, I'll just have to be patient for the moment then!

Hey eddie only joined this week as well, I use Norton with a 2 mb modem and everything is fine for me. Could be worth tidying up your PC, defrag and get ride of crap etc normally speeds the PC a bit. Good luck anyway mate

Do you have the bat3 Forum skin?
If yes, change it, because it makes all slower. |

Right, well that's worked a treat. Just never occurred to me that the image might be slowing things down. Seems quite obvious now! Thanks.

I use Firefox!
It can still be slow sometimes though! |

I´m using the AOL browser program, AOL 9.0, it´s the best I´ve worked with, it´s fast, includes Email checking, email notification, you can open more than one window in one program, has an included media player...
God, I´m sounding like an AOL advertiser:red: |

I really like Opera but you ca have problems because it follows the rules for reading internet pages to the letter and so many sites have hacks or shortcuts coded into them.
Firefox comes a strong second. |
