Site Issues

[Glen]

Ok, what's up? Over the past several weeks, pF has become very slow to load and seems to be featuring ads with 'adult' stars, lesbian dating services, comely young wenches wanting to 'friend' me, etc. It seems loading the ads has priority over loading the site and things have slowed to a crawl. The pages are also jumping around. Just when I think it's done loading, I click on something only to have the page suddenly jump an inch or so to load something else. It's getting a bit irksome.

Jus' sayin'.

Glen, it's been working a lot better for me since installing an add blocker. I use Firefox but I'm sure you can get them on other browsers.

The adds are all over PF with IE. When I installed a add blocker some other sites are working slower then before. I must admit.........I hate the adds, they have nothing to do with our hobby, at least the painting figures hobby.

Well, Marc, that's been my experience as well. Blockers and filters can often lead to other issues with other sites. The problem only seems to be with pF; all other sites seem to be running fine - with or without ads. The other issue is the types of ads. Hobby related I can understand, even local retail outfits like Wal-Mart, Sears, auto dealers, etc., but 'dating' services featuring a porn star(s), lesbians, and asking if I want to date other men seems over the top. Maybe the advertisers looked at some of the EVD stuff and had a light bulb go off...

Slainte,

That is possible, but they seems to forget that I don't like machines. Only the real work.

No problems with Firefox, Glen.
They track us, after all, we love "models".

No issues with Safari.

The only disturbing ads I encounter are for older women who don't want young men. The disturbing part is I'm still young.

Firefox no problems either
