Site is unusably slow

I missed checking it. I gave up when every click took a minute. Glad it is back. Since it was just this forum, I assumed it wasn't just me.

Thanks, Don. All OK here, now. Who remembers dial up? Acoustic couplers? Same load time for everything. We've been spoiled and it's all for free.

I was thinking about dial up when the site wasn't working. How did we stand it?

I am running FireFox on a PC and never had an issue. Learning that it was ad related made me wonder. I have both AdBlock Plus and Ghosery running so maybe the ads were not allowed to start.

You could be right. My wife runs AdGuard and was able to get on without any issues. I don’t but never even thought of that.

I remember those!

And then we got a Hayes 300 baud Smartmodem…and eventually 56k. Oh, the things you could do with such speeds.

Well, until someone picked up the phone and you got kicked off.

Memories…
