I was loading the box shots at the top via a java script and that seemed to slow things down... so I switched over to loading them via images... So that should have resolved that issue.
Thanks

Unfortunately I had to go back to javscript tags, the image tags weren't loading correctly and the click throughs weren't working.
Still testing.
Steve... What browser are you using?

Navigator 4.73
I had to restart my computer a minute ago; I think it was a java-enabled crash.
And I'm typing this in IE, since Navigator has crashed yet again.
Gonna restart again...

Navigator was slowed to a crawl. IE is working fine (assuming I'm grading on a curve).

The response time completely sucks due to waiting for ads.kleinman.com.
I got one of the rare, but most frequently found in sucky websites, hangups in Netscape where I had to close Netscape and go into task manager to shut down another errant instance of Netscape before being able to successfully run it again.

Netscape is quite slow b/c it downloads all 5 pics before displaying anything on the threads.
IE is okay b/c the threads load up, and the pics just load a little later.

And I got hung up again and had to do the task manager end process thing again.
I would say the new ad server makes Netscape essentially unusable.
I swear, it takes like 15-20 seconds to see anything on a page when you go to a new thread. In San Francisco! Totally unacceptable for Netscape users and a bad April Fool's joke.
Note: I tried IE and it worked much better, perfectly acceptably.
Post note: Now Netscape is working faster. Other than the Dr. Watson, it's acceptable now. Maybe I'll try again tomorrow before I start hanging out at VHS Talk.
Post post note: Naw, it sucks again. I give up. It's doing that worst of all technique of killing Netscape and leaving an instance invisibly running in the background so no foreground instance will ever complete a page view. I never go back to sites that do that! At least I never have before.
And ad servers really should not be run on notebooks.

I will have to check when i get home. but no images. Just Red X's.

This is really buging me. Because there is such a delay, when I start scrolling down then the page finally loads all the way it jumps back back up a few line messing my reading up.
