S L O W to load

[jojo]

I love TOTV and understand the necessity for ads to support it. However it is taking several minutes per message to load. Up to 20 tracking messages load for each click (google ad services, doubleclick etc) Can this be fixed?

I have been having the same problem. The larger the thread the longer to load time. This started about a week ago.

I don't have any problems with it loading.

I have the same problem, I have Talk of the Villages as one of my favorites and this happens when I click on it. I could get on the website instantly on my phone. I was ready to give up (on my computer) but then tried google TOTV, and I clicked on it I don't have the problem.

What browser is each of you using? - Does that make a difference? I use IE9 with Vista and do not have that problem.

Back when doubleclick appeared to be causing some of us to have to click twice to return from a msg thread to our previous 'TOTV page', our now eternal member Virtual Geezer gave us a suggestion for eliminating that problem - it involved doubleclick.

I have absolutely NO IDEA whether this might clear things up for those suffering TOTV slo-load...perhaps a computer guru can advise.

***Okay, here's the fix: In IE7, IE8, or IE9 click on Tools, then click on Internet Options, then click on the Security Tab. Click on the Restricted Sites Icon all the way to the right. Click on Sites (just below the Restricted Sites Icon). In the Add this Website to the Zone box, clear whatever is in there. Type *.doubleclick.com and click on Add. Go back to the Add this Wesite to the Zone box and clear anything that is in there. Type *.doubleclick.net and click on Add. Click on Close. Click on OK and you are done.

It works fine for me. The only other thing that I did was: Click on Tools, Click on Security, Click on Custom level, Find "Launching programs and files in a IFRAME" and click on Disable. Find "Websites in less privileged web content can navigate into this zone" and click on Disable. Click on OK and Click on OK.

Go back to Talk of the Villages and go to a thread. Click on the back button and wah-lah, all fixed.***
