I am using an 11 year old machine with Windows XP and ie8 on dial up no add blocker no other stuff. Seems I should have been shut down a long time ago. Pages load slow but I expect that on dial up.

No ads, no issues, instant page loads. I'm sorry for those of you who have problems, but if it works perfectly for me, I doubt it's the website's fault.
Sorry Pilgrim, but I just bought a brand new computer, got on this site and within 10 minutes the screen jerks when you scroll, the little spinning arrow will not stop spinning and several other problems that aren't the fault of this computer... Shrap, I know you said you dont want to download anything but the Chrome browser will fix that problem. For me, it was pics that would load slow or fail to load. Get Chrome and then AdBlock and AdBlock Plus from the Cheome App Store and it will solve the problem I bet. My guess is you are running Internet Explorer or Firefox?
It's about like this:
"Do you puff peters?"
"Hell no!"
"NAZI!!!"

That's not to say that I had problems with any other site before switching browsers. This is the only one where I saw these problems

It's been stated for YEARS that this site has more problems than most others,
It's obvious nothing is going to be done about it, no matter how often it's repeated.

I'm not a computer expert, so will some of you expert diagnosticians explain to me why I DON'T have any problems with this (or any other) website?
Edit to add: I'm being serious. If all these problems are caused by the website, then everybody who visits here should have problems. But some don't. How is that?

I don't have any problems either. It must have to do with clean living.

HP Pavillion Chromebook with any adblocker works great. Super fast. I run Windows(7&8) and Mac machines(Snow Leopard, Mavericks, Yosemite plus iOS) as well as multiple Android devices(Jelly Bean, Kit Kat) at home and at work as computer tech. Chromebook is most trouble free by far.

I am running a Dell Inspiron 15 with both Windows and Ubuntu. Use Firefox on both OS. Switched from Adblock Plus to Adblock Edge. lightening fast with no hitches or problems in Ubuntu. Not near as fast on Windows but still no adds or problems.

Well, web developers have to make their sites work with multiple browsers and user interfaces. If they don't, then some will have problems and some won't.

My current CF problem is getting logged in. I sign in and then it logs me out when I open another page. Sometimes I have to login 6 times to get it to take. What Shrapnel said is spot on. This is a PITA for sure. What browser are you using? I have this problem with MSIE. To get logged on and have it "take", I log on at the forum list (which results in the appearance of the Search feature). I then click on Search, and it says I'm not logged on and presents a log on page. I log on again and do some Search, and then I am logged on permanently.

and several other problems that aren't the fault of this computer... Not to be an azz, but you know this how? miles This computer is brand new, no time on it to get viruses and interference from outside sources. I also have Google Chrome as the server, I have signed in on different sites along with this one and get no interference on those sites. I can open the Campfire and instantly navigate through it for about 5 minutes before the arrow starts spinning relentlessly and the screen doesn't respond well to the scroll feature. If I turn it off and leave it alone for a few minutes, then turn it back on, it is back to the responsiveness it has when first turned on, but within minutes, it is slowed again. Don't tell me this isn't happening, come to my house and I will show you. I don't have to add a bunch of outside protection to run other sites, why should I have to get it for this one?

Wish I knew the answer to your question. I too and on a computer that arrived new on the 12th. Spent the day setting up the two OS systems and neither Windows 7 nor Ubuntu 14.04 have any problems with the Campfire. I did install an adblock on both but I have never looked at adblock as a bunch of outside protection. In fact Ubuntu has no anti malware or virus protection at all. Windows came up with Malware hits within the first ten minutes.

if it was on Ricks end everyone would have problems... And if it were OUR computers, it would happen on all sites instead of just this oneLike I said before, it's an ongoing complaint, but nothing will be done

I wish I knew what it was. I have been coming here for almost fourteen years and on a bunch of computers since I mostly use hand me downs but I do not remember ever having a problem. When the ads started showing up to the point I took twenty seconds and added adblocker. Everything from an old 286 to the newest.

No problems of any kind here. While I do get the very occasional "problem loading this page" note when I first click on the bookmark, it seems to be a glitch with my ISP, because a re-click gets me to the 'Fire right away.
I get that too. And sometimes repeated timeouts. I'll go check the weather or something, come back in a few minutes, and all's fine. So I think it's on the Campfire server end. I can ping the server but the page won't load. Been that way for a long time now.
