Quite frankly, this is the most irritating site (functionality wise) I have ever participated in. Adds will cause enormous pauses in page displays, and when I type in messages, there will be huge pauses between my typing and having the letters show up in the screen. On top of that often I will come to the site and my browser (FireFox) will spin it's wheels waiting to load the site page. Sometimes that goes on for too long and I just go somewhere else. Not very conducive to participation by the membership. And yes, I am logged in at all times.
I know about ads helping paying the bills. I run a few forum sites myself. But in my personal opinion whoever runs this place went WAY overboard with with the ads, or running on a server host what is WAY too underpowered to run the scripts.
IMHO.
Sheesh, I went to use another browser to see if it was browser related. I was not logged in then. Are you kidding me? Had I seen that mess before I registered, I would have never bothered. Matter of fact, I think I will look around to see if I can find an alternative tractor related message board site to use. This is pretty ridiculous.
And FYI, I DO go to a lot of other sites, but this problem is unique to this one.
