Goodbye!

Hey everyone!

I loved this site as I have been preparing for my surgery... But due to the recent ads, I am going to have to stop coming regularly.. The ads are too much!!! It's taking so long to load these pages that it isn't worth it anymore. And I can't find a way to nix the ads...

I will return periodically as needs arise, but not often... I wish you all success on your journeys!! :)

Are you using high speed internet, and do you have a pop up blocker enabled??? because I have no such problem at home or work? Try running a scan on your computer

I have to agree with Sam. I do not get a slow load at work or home. You may need to defrag your computer. I have noticed that some of the ads do not load at all. I wish they were not there all together, because i hate seeing them, but I understand the site needs some sort of income to allow us to use it for free. So I gladly deal with the ads.... Such is life.

Good luck :)

I use my iPad and it loads as if for a phone, no ads!

Wow, it's worth getting an ipad just so I don't have to look at the ads.

I don't have pop ups and the board loads very fast , but even if the ads

are only on the right side of the board, I don't want to look at them.

Exactly what they said, if I use my phone or google chrome, I barely even see the ads and I have no problems with speed.

Ugh... I came back to check to see if this ad issue had resolved.. Nope.. I can understand small ads but these are just overdoing it!!!! I can use the app on my Xoom (Motorola version of the iPad) but it doesn't load the threads that I have subscribed to, which I don't like.. Maybe I will just stick to the app.. It took 6 minutes just to respond to this thread.. and I do have high speed internet... Ridiculous!!!
