I don't have issues at all, so its not the sight, its others systems IMHO.
I do have issues on the iphone, but its too damn small to be on the net with anyway...
But here at work firefox, and I forget what I"m on at home... PC at work, Apple at home.
No issues to speak of. Every now and then its slow but thats about the worst.
All my issues went away with ad block software downloads...

It's the site.
Ad blocker, and if Apple, try something besides Safari.

Hearing that gets old. Name another site that you visit that a huge percentage of post are about how to get the website to work. I can't remember the last site I visited where I read a huge number of posters who said they had to change web browsers, add more software on their end etc....to get it to function. Whoever he pays to host the site should take care of it. It shouldn't be something an owner has to take care of.

I agree. Shouldn't have to chase solutions. Bad business for sure.
Until it gets straightend out, those have worked for me.

It's fine with my desktop, but I've all but given up getting on the campfire with my iPhone. I admit, I'm a curmudgeon, and resistant to change. Changing to Mercury was a PITA and I went back to Safari, so no more Campfire for me at home. It is the only forum I visit that has the spam on it.

I enjoy coming here, so I put up with it to an extent.
I block the ads, so no revenue there.
And since I cannot guarantee my info is safe given the amount of 3rd party BS, nor can I get on with my phone when I am more inclined to have a moment to impulse buy, I don't visit the gear shop.
such is life.

I don't have any problems with any other sites or with my computer at home. I have just about quit using my iPhone to look at the campfire though. It constantly gets redirected to the Apple store. I don't have a problem with any other sites on my iPhone. My brother has the identical problems and uses a different carrier for his phone service.
I'm not interested in changing anything on my phone to make up for a problem that the Campfire has. It took me too long to figure out how the phone works to begin with and I'm too old to go through that again. This is the best forum, to me, on the net, but I will find some other place to visit with my iPhone.

Had issues a few months ago, but they all went away over about 1 twenty four hour period. Been great ever since. I just use PC's and Internet Explorer. Don't do the phone or pad things at all.

I always come here on my android phone, only problem is the window closes and I have to tap internet icon and it pops right back to the page I was on... a tad bit annoying.
And yes this the only site where that happens.

This is my favorite website but the wait time for ads to load was taking 10 to 20 seconds even after I recently upgraded my internet speed from 2.3 meg to 23 meg. I just downloaded Adblocker-Plus and it fixed the problem with all the websites I look at daily. I use Internet Explorer with Windows 7.

Strange that many here never have a problem. It may not all be Ricks fault. miles I am one of those, works just fine for me. I am using firefox with ad block plus, all I see is content. But then if I had to use one of those damnable smart phones I would be off the internet.

On my droid, the page is constantly loading. I will be reading a post then it will reset and take me all the way to the first post of the topic. I have to scroll down really fast to keep reading before it does it again.

Every time I try to post from my iphone it's a race to get it posted before the page resets and I lose everything. Pretty frustrating when I lose that race. I try to copy what I'm writing so I can paste it back in after I loose the page.
