Default Website delays

It seems that this site has alot of delays in switching from thread to thread or just clicking into a thread. Seems to freeze up and not allow screens to appear. Either have to back up or even click into the site twice to get to where you want to view. Why is this site to slow to operate?

Glad to know its not just me. I have a Core i7 processor and i dont have issues with other sites. The delays and slow site will make me just stop coming on. I enjoy the site and the information and sharing of info among posters but is there any way to fix this site.

I usually click the stop button to stop loading the page and try again. Very frustrating.

I use Mozilla Firefox for this site and this site only.
I run Windows XP Home and if I look in the lower left corner of the screen while a page is loading, I can see about a dozen malware/adware/trackingware programs loading.
I hate this and paid a subscription fee hoping it would be better. Guess what? Paying to be a member does not reduce the ads or other BS that runs on this site.
It is really sad.
The other forums I use are lightening fast - ads and all - or - pay a membership fee and the ads go away.
vBulletin is truly absolute garbage!!!!!!!!!!!

theres no doubt it is the overwhelming banners that need to pop up on every screen, the screens lock up and you constantly have to re-click or refresh screen to get around. This site is too cumbersome and too many ads/banners. But other sites have this and are faster and never freeze up in a thread. Good luck to all, I will stop coming on its to frustrating to be mad at a site that is not improving the user experience.
