Has anyone else experienced any problems with this site lately? My internet connection is good and I have no issues with speed on other sites but for the last couple of weeks my response time on this site has been awful. I often end up having to click on a thread more than once to open it and most times it takes a long time. Again, I have no problems on other sites and I tried this one on my laptop...same thing...so I don't think it's my computer. Anyone have any ideas?

Same here, and when I click a thread it will always bring me back to to the homepage

It's not an easy site to load - if your connection isn't very fast, it's going to lag.

A lot of objects, a lot of scripts and a lot of ads - plus, it's just a big download.

I've had a lot of trouble using Chrome here lately as well.

I've found the site not useable - it's slow, breaks down, doesn't even react at times. Even tapatalk connection isn't functioning.

It's not chrome - have tried it in all three major browsers and same deal. It's the site. I'm not sure if it's a bunch of ads loading in java or something that jams it up, but something isn't right. It blows right now.

I use firefox 10.0.2. Smooth as a ray allen free throw.

I have problems from my work computer like this that have been going on for 2-3 weeks. At home I have no issues. I don't want to ask my IT people why I'm having problems with the Boneyard!

The site usually works fine for me, but for the past few days it's been slower than Mandledove.

Crappy servers hosting this site is a possible culprit. Plus ad servers are not always colocated with the site host. The site host has to reach out to the ad server so that everything loads in a coordinated way. Plus choke points with Internet connections illustrate the multiple points of failure that can cause a website to load like frozen motor oil. Use firefox with the secuirty ad on which stops ads from loading.

Yeah, I started a similiar thread a month ago, and 7-8 responded with similiar problems.
Pathetically slow, and my computer/carrier is high speed.
The other issue, in there, should be a "next thread" icon. I have to go back to the "UConn basketball" icon before I can go to the next topic further slowing matters down.

My Macbook at home has no issue. My work laptop using IE is awful. Other sites on work laptop I have no issues.
