Rich, I don't have time to download Opera right now, but I can say that Firefox is working fine, just like the old days, at this moment.

The themes don't seem to make a difference.

IE still doesn't do very well, for whatever reason. Trying to open new threads is a bit slow and graphics are even slower.

OK, I downloaded Opera. It's actually slower than Firefox at this moment. It's tolerable, but the smilies on the right of the comment box take about 10 seconds to load.

When I clicked on the "more" for smilies, it took 35 seconds for all of them to load.

Sorry to keep jabberin', Rich, but I noticed one difference between IE and Opera right now. Opera saves the images so they don't have to reload. I went to a different thread that I hadn't visited with this browser, clicked on reply and then on "more" for the smilies. They loaded instantly.

IE has to do it all over again, reloading the images every time you tell it to do something.

I noticed the same thing Vic. I just removed a couple of things that load with every thread that are superfluous. Please let me know any change in performance.

BTW, I removed the tags hack. It's going to be rolled out in VB 3.7.0 and the VB version is incompatible with the installed hack.

I'm on Firefox and everything seems pretty good to me.

Things work pretty well now, even with IE.

No change here. IE is still horribly slow. FF is acceptable and I will be using that for the foreseeable future.

Performance has improved some. When I select a thread and open it in a new tab (as I do) each thread takes about 30 secs to open as opposed to 1-2 mins a week ago.

Still slow tho!

I'm beginning to suspect that the slowness has to do with the fact that I allow images in signatures. I'm going to remove that and see what happens.

Made no noticeable difference for IE. Still as slow a steam off of cold oatmeal.

Well, it took 1 minute and 8 seconds to load the thread page and 53 seconds to fully open the "Reply to Thread" page. On up side, all of the graphics are visible with the exception of one smilie. That is with IE.

Almost the exact same results with Opera.

FF is still "almost normal" and all of the graphics load 100%.

Happening again. 10:47 Pm EST and it's taking forever to load. I had to use Mobi in order to get the PB to load. Even then it's taking forever.

I've been tweaking a couple of things. Is it better now?

I'm now beginning to get a little lag when first loading a thread. But it is nothing like it was before. FF and IE are loading about the same.

Thanks for all your efforts on our behalf, Rich!!
