Are the Forums stalling a lot or is it just me?
As of today 4/13/04 the threads never fully load. If I hit cancel, most of the HTML renders and I can read but none of the secondary graphics load so I can't do everything I need to do. The primary topnav and logo loads but no other graphics do.
Is an image server down or being bombarded or something?
I doubt it's the curiosity over the eMac
I'm in Safari 1.2.1/Mac OS X 10.3.3 not that that should matter.

Speed sucks.
Dunno why.

It's probably the ads. Are you blocking your ads? The ads have always been the slowest element to load at AppleInsider. I suggest you block them.

I am blocking them, ever since "Hi, my name is Tina"
I'll give a go in some other browsers or some other machines later.
Personally, I'm trying to cut down on AI anyway so it was just an FYI to you guys in case you were getting hammered from something and weren't yet aware.

...that is stalling.
Just not sure why the edit/reply/smilies/etc pics also wouldn't load.
Hm.

Worked great Brad, thanks.
I had previously only added media.fastclick.net.
But what about the other n users?
I love a good band-aid solution as much as the next guy but the problem will exist for most other users.
Anyway I'll chalk it up to a temporary thing and leave it for them to complain about if it persists.
I'm happy, that's all that matters

Seriously. Please, be my guest. It's 100% his fault that you guys have to put it with that kind of crap.
