I have had DSL since I started this board. I have never had any of the problems that have been posted, however it does seem that they do stem from "server" problems.
It really has to do with graphics. This site is intensive with alot of pictures that have to load every time something changes, even if it is one word.
Alot of other message boards use very few graphics for that reason.
Ken will check when he gets back. This is his forte'
