My Mood:  | Coin Talk access is being killed by the ads
The Google Adds and EBAY stuff is destroying access to CoinTalk for the last 2 night. I have to turn off all the graphics just to post this message.

You should try using a dial-up connection for a while.

Perhaps the IE browser I suspect your using could be the issue.

Ruben, for someone who purportedly excels in computers and runs his own network/web site, you have more problems than the entire rest of the site put together.
Yes, I have Google and eBay ads. (BTW, it is "ads", not "adds". Google and eBay are not mathematics.) They are at the bottom of my page and I do not even notice them most of the time. And there is nothing pornographic nor offensive about the ads.

| Until you mentioned it, I never noticed them - I guess I never scroll that low on the pages  | |

Nope---something that my ISP offers--I really don't know if it helps or not, but it "seems" to help when viewing alot of photos.

Speedy | I have that on Firefox down stairs. In my office I just block thumnails from ebay. I turned them back on to see some ebay coins a few nights ago and WHAM. The Ebay stuff sometimes just drags the download and the way the frames render, nothing can render until they download. I called a friend at Google last night and they confirmed that they were having trouble with the deliverables over the last 48 hours. Part of the east coast truck was affected leaving about half the bandwidth. Added to that, Verizon was having trouble in Brooklyn. Covads call center wasn't even picking up the lines, it was so bad. Evidently they cleared up now, but it was ticking me off last night to no end.

Well, Ruben, it's the ads that pay for CoinTalk. In fact, the ads don't always make up enough revenue to pay all the bills, so at times I've sold off some of my own collection to keep the power turned on. Also, supporters get less ads.
