Encumber your browser with add-ins (1), or encumber your browser with ads (infinite). Your choice.

Finally did Adblocker (sp?) with the arrival of a new PC. Things are seamless and fast now. Still sad that one needs such an installation solely for this site. Never an issue anywhere else.

After the dozens of discussions we've had here about using Adblock Plus which effectively kills all those ads, I can't feel sorry for anyone who puts up with them. I"m slow on computer stuff. And run almost all macs so it was rarely an issue, but the first time that crap showed up, I read a bit of stuff on a serach, and put on adblock plus.... Thats been some time ago. Evidently some are even slower than I. LOL.

I may have to try adblocker.. I am not plagued by ads, but the letters are slow to appear as I type. The pages constantly lock up I have to go pack to the previous page then switch back to the page I want to read. Could be my computer is old.. Maybe this willhelp. Try ccleaner. Safe, free, effective. Clears cookies, registers, caches, etc. https://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download/standardETA: it's not an adblocker. Do that too.

If there was ever a consideration buy something new, I would suggest a Mac. I've had several different PC's and now I have had two Mac's over the last ten years. I still have a top notch PC sitting here which is a new business supplied Dell.
I'll choose the Mac 100% over any PC every time I get on line. It's just a better machine and design. The learning curve for the differences are no problem because it's made with so much more thought to the human being operating it.
I have had to write countless articles and a couple books. During this time I was using a PC. ( well the first book was with a typewriter but I'm getting old) I would have completed projects in half the time without the random loss of work when the PC locked up or puked on me in the middle of the project. That was the original frustration driving me to go to the Mac.
In the ten years I have had Mac's now, I cannot recall a single time EVER that they locked up or dumped my work. I hope with Jobs gone they continue the tradition of high quality and user friendly designs. I cannot ever see going back to a PC again.

Keep on doing the same thing and expecting a different/better result?  Ad-blocker+

Best thing I did is switch from Chrome as my browser to Firefox. Much faster and minimal "lock-ups".

The problems I'm having are different. My computer has gone off three times while I've tried to write this. The site won't keep me logged in, won't let me page up or down, and then it just stops working. No movement at all. When it does come back on, it may be for ten seconds or ten minutes...then goes off again. I've been logged on at least 10 times tonight and have only read three threads. It's really not worth it to a guy that hasn't got any computer savvy. powdr

What does this thread have to do with "General Big Game."
I never thought I'd grow up to be a grumpy old man, but I did, and I'm killin' it.

Beating on a dead horse here guys. Ad Block Plus is your friend. I've been on here for years and have never once experienced the misery you folks speak of. Just do it and don't look back.

The pages constantly lock up I have to go pack to the previous page then switch back to the page I want to read. Could be my computer is old.. Maybe this willhelp. Do you ever clear the cookies out of your computer? I find that this helps me the most when things start slowing down. First sign of anything I think is not right, clearing out cookies is the first thing that I do. Works for me. miles
Look out for number 1, don't step in number 2.
