does anyone else have a hard time loading the pages on the SDMB? it is so slow for me that the window times out and won’t load. it’s not like i have a slow or crappy modem, so why doesn’t it load very fast, if at all?

Common problem.

Other posts on this topic have been moved - I’m sure this will be too.

Sometimes during working hours it’s slow. This morning it’s only taking a few seconds, but I have DSL.

There are dozens of threads about this in ATMB, so rather than move this one to add to the drain, I’ll close it and direct folks there.
