Why is Talk of TV so slow to load?
 
For the past week the Talk of TV threads have been very slow to load. Is this a problem with my computer?

You are right. Seems like just over the past week or so the site is really slow and is a huge memory hog. I used to have the default blue screen instead of the green but it looks like that is no longer available. I have plenty of memory but when I am on this site, it drops into the red zone.

I am not experiencing slow loading.
But when I click on a thead, all of the posts do not appear. The screen just locks after a few posts. Going out and reselecting the thread sometimes eliminates the problem. Annoying.

Funny, I was just thinking the same thing as I was waiting for it to load this morning. It seems to me that it's just not slow to load, but it takes a long time to go from page to page and sometimes it freezes. No other site that I go on has these problems.

This site is so loaded up with ads, that it takes a long time to load. The ads on the left go on forever....

Loads fast and ad free for me, I have Google Chrome. :pepper2:

Do most of you use IE11? If so, have you brought up the Task Manager to see what the CPU activity is?

I am having the loading problem under IE11 and if I have Task Manager activated, the CPU is very high according to the TM ICON.

I also experience the non-loading of the entire thread under IE11 and Firefox. Sometimes it take a shutdown/restart of IE/FireFox to get the entire thread to appear. Sometimes several restarts.

Frustrating at the least.

The ads are not loaded from our server so they would not be impacting the speed. We'll look into the usage reports for today.

Seems to work OK with Chrome but still real slow on Safari.

It appears to be the larger the thread the slower the loading time. Thanks Admin

I don't have any problems. It loads right away. I use Google Chrome.

Mine is slow also. Too many pop-up ads. I realize the need for ad revenue, but it's just getting worse and worse. May have to drop TOTV if this continues.

I have some occasional slowness with TOTV on Chrome and FireFox but nothing like the long delays on IE11 which border on endless.

I am very comfortable with IE11 and it will always be my default. As much as I use FireFox and Chrome, I have never gotten used to their uniqueness.

Could it be the video adds running repeatedly In the post you open up?
