Ok, IE7 is loading EXTREMELY slow again as well as google chrome browser. On the taskbar in chrome it says waiting for www3.smartadserver.com
That's making the site stall as far as I can see
No message on IE7

Edit: this post took almost 3 minutes to submit with IE7

Some HELP in posting on Computing.net plus free progs and instructions Cheers

XpUser4Real,

I had the same issues before and because of an unrelated issue I determined that it was the Java RTE that was causing the error because of the adds that are installed...your reply concerning the adserver verifies that it is something to do with that...
I was able to completely remove the old Java program and all its registry files and reinstall it. The pages load a lot faster on IE6 now than what they did before.
There is still about a 3 second delay but that is a great improvement over the old 20 to 25 second delay!

How can there be change when one returns to the same group of people that started this fiasco to begin with?

Hey,

Ok, so the problem is with smartad server. I will report this. Hopefully they can track it down.

BTW, before someone had a problem with an ad server like that. It turned out to be some sort of firewall somewhere on his path dropping the requests. He had to disable javascript on the site to fix it. Not sure if that's the problem with you... Its probably not.
