When flipping back & forth between the main forum page and the threads, I notice a few second lag everytime I come back to the main forum page. During this lag, only the top portion of the page is loaded, not the actual threads. I don't notice this in the classifieds.

Is this a problem with my machine, or is this an attempt to force people into viewing the ads at the top of the page?

Actually its not a scam to get you to read ads. the template for the forum loads.. but the other information such as threads and pictures make the "changible portion" of the forum take long to come up. with a slower internet connection it would look like they are forcing you to look at the bars. but in reality the other stuff just takes more time to load. for instance say u click on a thread and go read it. then u hit back. well the top bars havent changed so it pops right back up. the actual theads have to update so it takes longer..

When was the last time you dumped your temporary internet files? That can cause loading time to slow way down.

seems that way to me....it just happened waiting for this window..

I think the ads flashing and scrolling and yelling with lights, flashers and blinkers trying to poke my eye out while showing me 57 snakes in 3 seconds and an animated movie too......are slowing alot of computers down........

.....wonder why all the show........when the Bells and Barczycks sell 60,000 snakes between them with NO ads at all.....

Yeah I think that if you don't have an extremly fast comp and/or internet connection that there will be lag because it loads all the information all at one time. it's definatly not a scam but I'm sure the people with the ads don't mind it at all
