Too slow, too long!!
Come on, guys, my beard grows an inch for every post I try to open :-)! Tron, I know you said it’s a server issue, but either ream someone or find another server. I have high speed for a reason, I have no patience, and I can presently check in on 4 other forums in the same time it takes for this one to load. Will keep checking in, but won’t be logging in until it’s fixed. Later.
Dave
PS I know no one cares if I log in or not, but it’s fun to bitch some times :-)!

altho i would say 500kb for a banner on a website is a little on the large side it still wont be causing an issue for anyone other than the load time of the banner itself and even at that its normally only once as your computer will cache it
its deffinatly a more deep rooted server problem
example ping times

I don’t want to sound like a dick, but ever since the new and awesome banner was up things have been snail slow…
Could we try it with the old, static banner for a bit to see if that is the issue?
I love the new banner but really stopped coming here due to the slowness…
Don’t look at me: I’m just the humble Admin, not the Owner. I spent 5 hours (4 hours of that on hold) speaking with the Hosting company yesterday and got nowhere except that they will get back to me when they find out what the problem is. I can tell you all one thing though, and that it is 100% nothing that I have done or that the TAG itself has done, and the decisions above and beyond that are out of my hands as I have informed those that need to be what the problems are.
Well it ain’t great. But if I can wait 5 hours in a pitch black shed with the temp at 15 below zero, I believe I can wait a spell to collect the pearls of wisdom that can be found on this forum. Without my air gun, life would be really FUCKED UP. As it is, I can’t help but think that you guys are the only thing keeping me from shooting myself in the foot. 😀 😀
I hear ya! I have fiber optics and it feels like I am surfing TAG with carrier pidgeon….LOL
