More of an observation than a problem since I don't think it is fixable...
Ever since the banner ads began on the top of the BB, I find that it has become painfully slow to navigate this board, I don't know if I am the only one. Every page now takes about 10 times longer to load and at the bottom of the page it always says "Contacted ads.web.aol" or "Waiting for ads..." or something like that so I know its the ads that are what is taking so long - the pages used to just pop up and now its painfully slow. I have several different browers on my computer and have the same problem with all of them but with no other web pages so its not a browser problem. All other pages are still fast as normal, just the board has slowed. (I've tried emptying the cache, etc. - still slow.)
Additionally when it is a longer thread, it will often stall after only loading half the page or so - the rest will just be white, no matter how long I wait - I have to retry and retry to finally get the whole page.
I NEVER had any of these problems before the banner ads so its frustrating. I know on the other board there was a thread about how annoying the ads are - well I wouldn't care if it wasn't making it so hard to be on the board now.
