Let's put it this way...I pay nearly $5.00/gal for diesel, and I do enjoy my truck, and won't think of getting rid of it ....
I pay ""NOTHING"" for this, and it's aggravation......
Which is going to cost me less to get rid of??????

Download this add on for IE 7 or change to Firefox browzer and install the ad/flash blocker and you will enjoy instant loading of this site. Easy as that. Nice part, just like this site, they are both free.

It is hard to "enjoy" this site when most all the bright minds in the PSD world have gone over to another forum, that loads almost instantly for dial-up, and for free.

The only good reason to come here anymore is to read the archived threads from when this site was my #1 place to go.

unfortunatly you are correct....

You don't have to download anything to get the other sites to load properly.

"This website has really gone to pot", boy did I miss something, and I thought we were not allowed to smoke, especially the good stuff.

I have to agree with Graup,this used to be my favorite site but when it takes me up to 5 minutes on dialup (hispeed not available) to access the forums i will have to be in desperate need of advice and not be able to find it anywhere else before i return here.I used to enjoy surfing this site just for pleasure.Tom

Download firefox and an add-on called Ad block plus. You will not see pop-ups or adds anymore from any website.

Firefox web browser | Faster, more secure, & customizable - 8mb

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1865 - 50kb +/-

Excellent advice on the Firefox plug-in. Thanks for the heads up.

I have to agree, this website has really taken a nose-dive since I last visited. It looks like everyone important jumped ship and started a new website some where.

Some one please PM me where everyone went too? Where is the new site that you can actually talk?

It appears the original owner has dropped this provider and moved. Reason for all the adds.

Dead site in other words

What is this other forum you speak of. I dont see any of the ads or pop-ups, I usually use my Mac with the Safari browser while surfing this site.

We shouldn't have to change our browsers to view one site on the internet. I have no problems with other sites loading. The other issues is the ADMIN knows about the issue but is unwilling to do anything about it from the looks of it as its been about 6 months since post like this have been coming up. I come here for the classified section and that is it.

BTW I do use FireFox but this site is dead for all practical purposes. PM me if you want to know 2 sites that are alive and well and FAST!
