WF painfully slow?

Okay, I'm not entirely sure this is about WF and not something on my end but I wanna make sure and if it's on my end I'd like to fix it.

1) I KNOW it's not my connection (because it happens both here and at home - here I've got a 3 mbit, at home I've got 768 kbps).

2) I don't think it's anything with my computer either. But that's always a possibility.

3) I don't think it's something wrong with my browser either because I don't experience similar problems on other sites.

Anyway, here's what happens:
Whenever I try to load a thread it takes about 30 seconds or so for it to come up properly. It loads all the text but the pictures (smileys, reply buttons, avatars, rep buttons, ...) take FOREVER. I assume my browser should cache them - but it either somehow doesn't or WF is REALLY slow. And I mean painfully slow, making it almost impossible to use it.

So, which is it? I don't think I changed anything in my browser settings recently...

That's not very kind.

Check this out, it's making it almost impossible to post.

I am experiencing no significant slowdowns . . . hmmmm.

Alas, the link to your video only shows me a sign-up page for a service I've no interest in.

Odd. This is beyond my technology, I'm afraid. PM Nick or Order2Chaos and see if they can help you, would be my advice.

I may have been mistaken. IE 7 seems to be working more or less normally - can't test Firefox right now as it's died a painful death until the next reboot.

I think it's your computer, in this case.

Yeah but why?

Anyone know what I fucked up in my Firefox settings? Checked again and couldn't find anything...

I tried to download the video but it said I didn't have the necessary codec.

Board grinds so slow late at night (from 1am to 4am)

What does that translate to in Eastern or Pacific time?

God knows i'm in the civilized part of the world GMT.

Subtract 5 hours from his time to get EST. 1 to 4 AM becomes 8 to 11 PM.
