IT guy till 2005, Double Post, ingnore this one

I was an IT guy for many years and made the switch to something else in 2005.

This is my first membership back at the LVA forums since 2002.

Since then, this site has exploded, with so much FREE information, compared to back then. WOW!!

But.... I never remember the Forums loading so slow back then, and it seems to be a constant topic here.

So what do you think it is..... the slow loading?

My first thought was out dated severs and/or software.

Then a day ago, I learned about forum avatars, so I understand, everytime a page has to load, with all this avatar data, it is going to slow down, makes sense.

Then I read where someone else is using a different internet interface (unlike MS Explorer) and it loads suer quick.

So then I say it is not the data load, nor the Server hardware/software.

Then others that run forums sites that say they have no slow down problems like we have here...

Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..

Just for fun......

It has been asked here why they can't speed it up, and so maybe they can't.

What is your diagnosis, just for fun...

HW, SW, MS Explorer, Avatars added data load, Others???

Dude you were in IT and can figure out how to delete a double post?

Yelp, now you go Blade, tell us how you do it!
