For me, and I think many other people, the page completely freezes until everything is loaded, which doesn't happen with other forums (you can still scroll while images are loading). I think it's the way in which the smilies are formatted (it's hard to explain without confusing everyone). I use Firefox by the way. Also, when using a laptop, the thing gets very hot when loading pages; the fan gets very loud. I don't think I'll disable avatars and signatures though, as I recognize people somewhat by them; and it's harder to distinguish who's who without them.

Happens to me too!, page's take a long time to load, sometimes i have to switch between pages for them to load, just gotta be patient i guess, though i will try Firefox

no problems here, maybe its the internet connection. also anyone who's using internet explorer should immediately switch to firefox its a thousands times better and you can download extensions to tweak it to your liking or even create your own because its open source.

complete crazy talk j/k I couldn't live without the tabbed feature, the fact that its faster automatically makes it a better choice IMO

I LOVE your avatar Glitch, it's so cute, haha! I already noticed it before but never said something... About the topic of this thread...this forum works slower than most of other sites for me but I got used to it...it's not that bad. Actualy I think it's pretty fast when I turn off all my downloads But I have fast connection and a good computer. Like Lee said, sometimes everything freezes until the page is completely loaded and this doesn't happen on other sites.

As soon as I come to the home page, I immediately hit the Login button. That will at least skip you through the loading of all the smilies and take you to the login screen right away.

I have slow loading on the picture threads but other than that everything is fast. I use firefox and have cable internet. I used dialup at my dads the other day and it was slow, but not as bad as I expected. The smilies slow us down a bit but I don't think we can live without them Version 5 for proboards is in the works, and its going to load much faster from what I hear, they will be doing something different.
