Site Loading Slowly
Is it just me or has the site been loading ridiculously slowly, and not at all at times? This happens on all my computers, seems to be regardless of browser, regardless of ad blocker on or off, and for my phone it still loads just as slow whether on my internet or cellular data.

Definitely slow on all platforms for me, including the tapatalk app. Not quite sure why, but it's all good. I'd be willing to pay a yearly fee just to get rid of ads. though. I'm tired of seeing the official ballot drop box ad with the older guy in the coat! Lol

Unfortunately, it has been this way since I joined. When it's really bad I just walk away and come back at another time.

Probably too much writing and words. I always do better with pictures. Maybe we can have more pictures. I like pictures.

That might help speed it up a little.

It has gotten worse of late with more occasions where it is unusable.

I think they are still using a dial up connection on a 386 computer to run this site. All backups are using 3 1/4" floppy drives so it slows it down for a while.
Just wiggle your mouse around in circles so it will load a page a little faster.

I recognize that as humor.

You couldn't be more wrong.
It's 5 1/2" floppies.
