767993 2009-04-24 03:53:00 Is it just me or do other people find this websites blogs excruciatingly slow to load.
When I nav to the blogs I get the header and title instantly - then wait at least 40 seconds for the content to appear...
The browser (FF3) says 'waiting for view.adtmt.com...'

767994 2009-04-24 04:27:00 Yup, and we're working out hardest to get the Ads removed from PF1 altogether also.

Its a known problem, search PF1, you'll find FFBM have a mutiny on their hands ;)

768002 2009-04-25 09:14:00 Slow loading times, Think of how I feel sitting on 52kbps Dialup, I generally click pf1 on my favorites, go outside and have a cup of coffee, and come back inside, it generally loads by then. Getting used to it now.

I dont think Fairfax is going to remove the ads (its their revenue)
