755289 2009-03-10 09:25:00 Is it just me or do other people find this site slow to load on pages??
i Have noticed that a lot over the years and thought it might improve but sorry to say whether I use IE or Firefox both are slow to load, in fact i should time it some time.

Would love to know how to speed it up as I dont have that much time to be hanging out here at times...

755291 2009-03-10 09:30:00 Its most probably just the ads

Download AdBlock+, an addon for FF, and Noscript

Both block the ads. You may also want to block the 2 servers "adserver.adtech.de" and "|inl.adbureau.net

To block them, in FF>tools>Adblock Plus Preferences, then type in those two and press enter

Or, use IEPro for IE and block the ad servers
