Adam;

I am getting a message that says I am not authorized to log into General C3VR Chit Chat because I am not a "full" member...  Is there a membership level higher than Lifer that I'm not aware of?

Must be because Ebo is the moderator (just a guess)

Dang...he's on to us!


I'm using the latest Firefox(3.0X), Winders XPHome, (dial-up)

What I'm seeing in the lower left is mostly "Transferring data from www.c3vr.com", "Transferring Data from (whatever supporting vendor is featured in the top banner at that time)", and then it seems to get hung up on "Transferring data from www.amazon.com". The google analytical only shows up for a split second or two.

The side-bar ads have loaded in the center of the page for me for a long time...this has nothing to do with the new forumware, imo. It has more to do with Firefox, I think.
My page comes up with nothing but the VERY top Blue area(no car yet), and then the rest of the page will be blank, then the center load of the ads(for the left side bar), and they scroll slowly from the top down. That moves to the left side, then the top line of the forum page loads, but without the graphics...just text.
Eventually, the entire page will load like that, all the while, the lower left corner says "transferring data from XXX(take your pick)" The "fuel gauge/bar graph" at the bottom of the browser will show almost 100% for several minutes, until the page is completely loaded, and the lower left corner says "Done". During this time the page is basically blank, except for the top blue area, and the left side bar. There is no view of the topics/forums until the page is completely loaded.

Don't know if ANY of this helps...as usual, it's prolly just ME, and my dang tube-operated 'puter...

Im 100% a-ok!

For se Firefox users, especially 3.0.8, take a gander at This from the Mozziller forum. There is hope!! It suggests installing a new add-on to Firefox, I did it, and so far....it's kickin booty this mornin! I'll have to test it on the puter at home, but here at the shop, there is no issues with page load speed anymore....
The suggested add-on is called No Script, and be SURE to read thru the info on it. as it will require you to "Allow" or "Disallow" certain stuff quite often, until you determine how to set it for good, then it's fine.

This is working FOR ME....just an idea for others to ponder, and make your own decision.

Ok... another question for only those of you experiencing long page load times.

Yessir it do!

It seems OK most of the time however, when it happens, once or twice per day, it won't even let me in to the forum main page.  It doesn't seem to be any of the other forums except the General C3VR Chit-Chat.  I'll go play some more and see if I can screw it up again!

BTW, this page was generated in 0.406 seconds.

This page was generated in 4.922 seconds.
This would be blindingly fast...if it were true. It's better now since I did what I did, actually MUCH better, but the 4+ seconds is a bit optimistic, as far as actually SEEING the page.
I think most of my issues now may be with my settings, and processor, but my other forum sites(Classic Goldwing forum, transmission forums, ect.) are quicker to load.

Ya know what...it don't really even matter to me...if it takes 3 minutes to load a page here, it's worth the wait...

Mine says it loaded in .438 seconds.  I'm not having any probs.  I'm using Firefox 3.1 Beta 3 and Windows XP.  My firewall is Online Armour free and I use Avira free antivirus.
