Almost unusable now, I've tried all the ad-blockers, but the adverts you call from a 3rd party server are killing the usability of the forum.

Often I open a thread in a new tab, and come back a few minutes later, it's that painful.

I'm running 24mbit/2.5mbit business ADSL2+, and I ping london for 9m/s, for your info.

Cheers. thumbup

We will be moving to a new ad-serving company soon, partly as a result of these issues, so a big speed increase should be on the cards.

I know you say you've tried ad blockers, but it should be fine with adblock in Firefox.

Finally smile

Let us know when and i'm sure a fair number of us will unblock the PH ads again!

Even with ad-blocker the URL would try and load, thus... hang............

I've tried tonight and you've removed the ads!!!!

Fantastic the forum loads exceptionally fast now... I'd forgotten how quick it used to be.

Thanks!
