notice the diff ?it hardly ever does the same thing twice in a row.
I'm not a gold member so I can't really *****, but this
is the only site I'm on that takes forever to load.
Its so slow sometimes I just give up and go somewhere else.
I took FABO off my homepage because it took forever to load.
Sorry to hear that. For many the site loads pretty quick overall.
There are MANY factors that can affect how fast the site loads, most of which I can do nothing about. For example, the internet connection your using, how your browser is configured, if you have toolbars or extensions on your browser, if you keep your software updated, if you have malware on your computer, stuff like that.
The "this is the only site I visit that does that" point really means nothing. That's not meant to sound rude, but honestly I hear that kind of point made all the time, and so does everyone else who runs a website. Do all those sites you visit have all the same features as we do? Are they as secure as ours is from hackers? Are they as busy as we are? Do they have as many new posts as we do every day? It really is like comparing apples and oranges.
I can speed things up a lot for some of you by not allowing the oversize photos you guys love to upload, or by making you click a link to view them...
This website isn't free to operate. It costs me a lot of money to run it, and running these sites is my full time job. I'll be spending about $8,000 on a new server for just this forum in about 6 months. Those costs are paid for by 2 things... Ads and Gold members. I only mention this in the hope some of you will have a little better understanding.
