it seems to hang up everything during re-loads when I browse this forum- it is aggravating as all hell!!

 

Its an online marketing agency that the I-club owners are using.

just to make sure its not something else go to download.com and download malwarebytes anti-malware. Do a full scan and delete all the baddies it finds

 

Firefox + AdblockPlus FTW.

 

so true!
you beat me on it

 

don't do that! We need monies! Click click click AWAY!!

 

If it didn't make me NOT want to visit the site due to slow loading time I wouldn't have blocked it.

Tell doubleclick to step their game up, they're costing both of you monies.

 

QFT-
I don't mind ads, what I mind is waiting for minutes on end looking at a little line at the bottom of my screen saying "waiting for (or Loading) ad.doubleclick.net"

That was enough in itself to get me to make something else my "homepage" and if I can't "fix" it- (I haven't tried the above mentioned suggestions yet, but I will) it could be enough to make me quit visiting the site entirely.

 

i hate the ad on the right of the screen with cars moving diagonally, it makes me think there are bugs running across the side of my screen!

 

I has no ads on here. firefox + ad blocker plus take care of them.

 

Cut back on the drugs Kyle, seriously.

 

yup. This basically stops your browser from making http requests for content from ad networks.

WAAAAAY speeds up browsing when combined with Google Chrome (Chrome has an enhanced javascript engine), since on some sites a large portion of the load time is javscript served ads

 

chrome is faster? i always made fun of the google video "gmail is faster on chrome" where it shows some person writing reading and deleting emails just as fast as any browser can lol.

 

BTW, ABP seems to have resolved my issues, thanks for the suggestion!
