Yes, a lot of folks using Comcast have had problems.

Check the forum help section. If you're using Comcast, change your DNS to an "openDNS" or a "Google" DNS address. Do a google search and you're get lots of info.

They clearly never do that unless a person is believed to be a possible threat to our security . . . which they believe all of us to be

Same problem here. One min. it's lightning fast and next it locks up. This is the only site that's doing it. Every other site works normally.

I sicked my company IT guys on the problem and they stated "there was just flat out to much streaming video and adds on the pages you first get before logging in".

Yes I use the forum at work!

Sounds like someone is getting greedy selling add space????????

I agree, the initial load is terrible, not as bad once you are in the site. But still worse than it was a week or two ago. Something definitely changed, this site is getting to be as slow as LS1-tech and I never go there for that very reason.

Same here. This has got to be the worst problem I have seen. Either the page doesn't load at all or it is incomplete.
