What's up?
Trail Talk has been so slow lately my coffee breaks are over before the page downloads. If I post something it locks up completely. I've either got to go some place else or get back to work!

Am I being hassled by a company spy program or are the rest of you having the same problems? It's pretty friggin' slow from home too.

It's always slow. I have a brand new, "latest and greatest" machine and it's still slower than a mentaly chalanged bluegill. I go on a lot of the EZ Board BBSes and they are faster, even with a bunch of options and graphics.

It is real slow for me too. Because it is so slow I get frustrated when I open a total fluff thread. I am to the point I read very few threads each day and some days I don't have the time or the patience to fiddle with it at all.

VERY fast for me. Try clearing your IE or Netscape Cache.

I'm on a dial up 56k and this thread took 10 seconds to open.

Who has time for that?

I wish I could aford $50 a month to surf but I refuse.

How does one clean out his cache? I don't think it'll help because it's just this site that is consistantly slow. Heck, I can download an MP3 faster than a TT page. LOL!

Opie,
just use a laptop and face door of office with deadly serious look on your face at all times; use headphones that look like telephone headset--people think you're working your ass off.
Works for me. :)

I'm on a LAN that has some huge connection at work. The 56k modem (working at 49k) at home is faster.

I always suspect the company is spying on me. My union member pedigree showing.
