    NO it's not you. I've noticed this too. I think since the chat is up and the site has been having tech issues everyone has been gabbing away there. I had to click on this thread twice so it could load properly.

    Is SW still slow or non functional for everybody else? I am still having issues with two or more (many) refreshes to open a page, and images still won't load.

    Just this site BTW and I have updated Fire Fox, Flashplayer, and Java............ grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

    It's not just you, the site is having constant technical difficulties that are making it a chore to read and post.

    I was wondering because I see all this participation in Picture Post and other parts. The only way I can get that to work is to quote the message, then past the http code for each image into a different browser window.

    That is tedious. Worth the price sometimes, still tedious.

    They need to upgrade their server hardware. Faster server = more memory.

    Personally, I'm not bitching, even though it sucks. It's a free site that gives me a ton of enjoyment. And they're probably working on it.

    Just hit F5 a time or two to reload the page, it will eventually load.
    I don't know what's causing the problem but this type of browser incompatibility error is often a Java script issue.

    Lag time is whack.

    Members' interests aren't piqued, the page upload shtuffz bog them down even further, and MOST importantly no one is posting because of the aforementioned problem-o's.

    It's just a snowball of bad PR for my beloved SW.

    Very true Charlie, but the douchy side of me can't help but notice that everything was working fine before they started messing with it.

    I'm not totally sure because I've just tried this but I think there is a script on here that isn't loading right. I added "NoScript" to Firefox and my page load problem has disappeared.

    Running "NoScript" on FF though seems to cause problems staying logged in.

    I noticed this too. I have to refresh the page twice because it wont load properly.
    Pictures and avators dont show up either.. then it just takes forever to load.

    Beyond all that.... the site makes *doubles* of everything that I post. I keep getting "wait 30 seconds before posting again" errors. Annoying.
