My son swears by firefox which also is fast so these will help some of you with issues when visiting certain sites or downloading. I also find that Internet Explorer is more prone to being infected with viruses and ids the most widely used browser so its targeted with malicious B.S. more often aswell

I don't know if that is really true or if the java code is non-compliant, or some other part of the code on the site. If you want to compare browsers, we need to compare the latest versions and IE8 is purported to bo strict W3C compliant.

anyway, some browsers handle non-compliant code better than others. IE is not very robust in that arena.

If you're ever unsure, just check how valid a site is with the online W3C validator.

BTW, the site may be faster, but my first suspicion today when I clicked to the site was that it was still down as it took a while for the first screen. Maybe my long stale cookies needed update, but the site generally seemed fine to me.

Of course, my connection provides a certain vaccume to help suck the data in...

Na, its not you, I waited 30 seconds for this response page to open, still have occasional issues with pages opening, Slow ETC.... I did notice the slow response opening this page was due to a wait on googlesyndication response. Also had a few Database errors today which are new to my time on the site, a page refresh took care of the issues, so I'm thinking Database timeouts..

Honestly I don't see a lot of improvement, I think much of it is ad related. Which I'm certainly not going to complain about.

Yep, I saw those too and reported them. I think they may have fixed it already, but keep and eye on it and let me know if it continues.

Yeah, the googlesyndication stuff is the google ads.
