Not sure if it's just me, but forum access has slowed down greatly in the last few days, and I'm seeing the message above in my browser much more of the time.

I don't use an ad blocker because I want to help Ian support the forum by getting advertising, and now and again there may be something of interest to me. So it's a small price to pay but not if, as today, the forums have taken around 30 seconds to load, each time.

It seems to happen from time to time. It seems the biggest hog of data/time/computer resources for the site are the ads. Which is ok as long as you have a faster processor and internet connection! :-) When my netbook was running linux though, four tabs would cause the computer to more or less grind to a halt. I tried an ad blocker and it speeded up no end. But when I rerolled it to XP, it was ok after that so I didn't bother with the ad blocker.

I use Adblocker anyway. Ads annoy me, flickering away there in my peripheral vision. :evil:
