It seems as though software should be programed to be compatible with a common browser instead of having to change browsers.
Im regularly on at least 6 different forums at one time with a few versions of V bulletin and they all work just fine on Chrome. IE sucks, plain and simple. I used to have many of the issues you guys describe when I was running IE.

I have not seen this site perform properly on chrome or IE. Sometimes the issue is at the hosting company. There can be significant manipulation of the web page by performance and security devices at the hosting company. The web page that was sent to your browser may look a lot different by the time it gets to your web page.

i'm new here and therefore hesitated adding my 2 cents worth. These comments should be considered as help or suggestions for the site owners. they are in no way a complaint or attempts to trash the site.

Ive seen this site run slow for a few weeks on my end. I dont think it has anything to do with IE though as other sites I visit are working fine as always. I do think it has something to do with versions of the operating software or it can also have something to do with the host of the site. Im not to much into the software side of things but just my .02.

Its very aggrevating though having to wait for the page to load, not to mention if your trying to look at photos on the page.

Hopefully the site admin can get this firgured out though.

I just finished downloading Google Chrome. It worked worse that IE9 on some of my sites. Locked up and some pages would just disappear.

Back to IE9 now.

I found the solution......at least for me. This fixed the issues I was having with my IE9 browser. If you are fairly computer literate you can do this. This process can be a little intimidating but if you follow it exactly it may correct the same type of issue I was having.

My IE9 work great now, like it did from the beginning. Be sure to read and follow the instruction carefully.

I always find it slower than most sites but not to a real bad extent....found it that way since I joined in august and I'm used to it....gets real slow or faster depending on what else is going on with the computer. I don't mind it much though, It's not that slow

One of the most common factors that I have personally wittnessed is that I'm up every morning at 3:00 to 4:00 a.m. and can be on this site for at least a couple hours without a glitch. Everything seem to start when the bandwidth starts to be tasked. More in the evening hours and weekends after 9:00 a.m.
