my computer is not the newest or the best
yet I think I have a slow problem with the forum
did all my own checks and tune ups but the FF is taking nearly 10 seconds to respond to each click
anyone notice or should i dig deeper here?
You need to dig deeper. The forum is buzzing along. Look at the bottom of any forum page to see what the page creation time was. It averages in the huindreths of a second. Any time to load larger than what that number at the bottom of the page is, is something other than the server.
Spyware and having background processes will slow down any computer. MAke sure you only have a few programs running at one time and that there aren't others running silent in the background. For PCs, its under Task Manager.
How long has this been happening for you? I recommend a program called "ccleaner".
did no changes
FFback to speed
pages would load fast but then take 3 or 4 seconds for me to be able to acess with mouse
Well I didn't do any changes either.
maybe the universe is back in line after the large disturbance :D
I make a rule to know what's being updated. If you are on dial-up like me you'll wonder why the pages load slow on your end while they get fetched off the server lightening fast. The only software I have not done the manual update, now that I think of it, is Noscript. It is automatic, just got an update yesterday I guess because when I opened the browser it went to their update page. Sometimes you forget such things. ;)
I am so close to civilization that I have cable of the fast kind and 400 channels with nothing on
my puter is a bit old but I bing and purge it on a regular basis
I just know when all of a sudden it gets cranky
