New TT slow to load, open threads

“Ok, I tried changing a few settings to make things faster. Can anyone tell a difference?”

“Matt, you da man!”

“Yes, it does seem a little faster. Thank you.”

“It's slower for me.”

“Still slower than snot. Do we have to live with it?”

“better here.”

“maybe”

“Seems faster here, and I'm not getting those crazy Runtime Errors, either (at least not today).”

“Get your self a real internet connection. Get rid of your 56k dial-ups, get cable. Its faster, and in some places cheaper.”

“I have DSL”

“Pepper, get cable its faster and cheaper. For me DSL would be 50 a month but cable is 40 a month and cable is so much faster.”

“Yeah, this is making me crazy too.
Or crazier than I was before.

Maybe it's all the WHITE, and all those cutesy little icons.

I find I have to sit here for-friggin-ever waiting for the threads to appear.

It's like watching the Cheshire Cat vanish.

Things gradually appear....
The smile is last.”

“This site has been slow for me for well over a week. Anyone else having problems?”

“I'm not...”

“I'm playing who wants to be a millionaire while waiting betweens openings.”

“What questions are you on?”

“sometimes it opens fast”

“All other sites you visit are normal speed?”

“mostly not”

“I would say you have spyware.”

“Yes, they are.........there are other sites?????? Maybe I should check some?”

“Often when it seems that Trail Talk is slow, what's really slow to load is the ads. Although when that happens, usually everyone notices it.”

“well abc.com opens instantly and so does THE OTHER SIDE.

That alone should get Matt on it, no?”

“Not necessarily, it could be the fault of a node between you and thebackpacker.com.

If things still work the way I think they do, anyway...”

“WTH is a "numismatist" and why is it worth only 16,000?”

“Coin Collector...”

“milquetoast as a 100 question? WTF????”

“geoduck is a mollusk. Go figure.”

“lol for extra points, how do you pronounce that?”

“Gooey-duck, apparently.

Are you a big depository of worthless info, bit?

I thought I had quite a bit until now. ;)”

“Yes, my brain is a large depository of useless information.

When I go to my doctor's, if he has an intern in there, he will ask a medical question just to see which one of us will know it first...

Geoduck!

”

“Yikes! Apparently there are some geoduck freaks out there:

Dig a duck, dig a duck,
Dig a gooey duck
Dig a duck, dig a gooey duck
Dig a duck a day


You can hear the digger say
As he’s headed for the bay
I gotta dig a duck, gotta dig a duck a day

Cause I get a buck a duck
If I dig a duck a day
So I gotta dig a duck,
Gotta dig a duck a day

They walk across the sand
About a half a mile from land
To dig a gooey duck
You dig him up by hand
But it isn’t much trouble
And you don’t use a shovel
You find a gooey duck
By looking for the bubble

It take a lot of luck
And a certain kind of pluck
To dig around the muck
To get a gooey duck
Cause he doesn’t have a front
And he doesn’t have a back
And he doesn’t know Donald
And he doesn’t go, "Quack!"

“what's wrong with TT & me again? How do I fix it? My cookie came bacl all on it's own, BTW.”

“Yah it's supposed to.


I don't think there's any way to fix the problem. You might try scanning for spyware or adware. It slows down for me at times as well, then fixes itself. I usually blame that on network traffic.”

“Not only is it slow but I'm having a terrible time with Explorer locking up on me and being real funky. I can't seem to run multipule browsers while I'm on here either.

Maybe my machiene is getting too junked up with some of the sneaky crap that comes from the internet. Damned if ya do and damned if ya don't. Put up a firewall and you can't access anything. Don't put up a firewall and ya end up with programs downloading themselves.

I hate the internet....”
