Its slow as hell, It freezes, And takes forever to show what you type, among other things.
Depends on how fast your computer set up processes the ads
This site has major problems for me.
Muzz,
Same here . I�ve been switching to a blank page to make the post. Then I copy and paste to 24hour.
You would think they would fix the damn thing. Im on a brand new laptop and every other site is Just fine. Come here and its like dial up but worse.
Obviously the server or the pipeline is inadequate.
When even the ads do not load, I'd expect that the advertisers would complain.
We all know that is the cost of a "free" site, but it needs to be fixed.
Depends on how fast your computer set up processes the ads
What adds?
I don't get adds.
Its loading http items almost constantly regardless of if you are seeing them come up or not, in headers, support our sponser side bars, etc.
It's the Govt. spying on us...
It loads every page for me in less than 2 seconds, probably 1.5.
Encountering same problems as above! Guess its beyond fixing as has gone on for a long time. GW
I'm having login issues again
You would think the moderators would pass along the information and get this [bleep] fixed!!
Is there any other sites like this to go to?

Oh my, did you just say that?

You are the problem. GFY
There were some problems last week but everything is fine now, fast, no ads, no hangups at all.
Now you can tell me to GFY but if you are having problems and w aren't then it just might be you.
My machine is from 2004 using IE8 and Windows XP on dial up. Most of the time I have no problems here. If there is a problem I find way around it and move on.

Folks keep complainin' about adds, I don't get it.......

Yes there is, try this one.
Try This Link.
Yep, I am still having a lot of trouble with the "overflow in stack 1" error on my work computer. I do not have the admin rights to switch browsers or add components. This has really limited my time on the 'fire. My work computer is much newer and I travel with it, as well as use it at home when I have it with me. It is too bad because I have not had any issues since I joined the site about 7 years ago. I guess today it is "out of memory in line 1"
People, people, what is wrong? Someone checks in who is having problems with the site; there have been 539 views and 22 replies and no one has yet reamed him a new exhaust port and declared the complete and total absolution of the site from any problems due to its being free. Where is the righteous indignation? Come on! We can do better than this!
I run updated firefox, Avast, ADblocker, malware, etc..everything I know to do, and from advice gathered here. It's still hit and miss for me. Love the site, but a major PITA compared to every other one I frequent.
Zero problems here-
I run on Google, with Ad Blocker Plus.
The last couple days it's been bad for me. Pages won't completely load.
iPad and Safari.
Muzz, I'm in Utah, also. I get my innanet from Comcast.
No ads, pages load in under one second, and any freezes I've noted were with the Fire's server. Rick fixed those days ago.
If you're having problems, it's due to your connection speed, your browser, your ad blocker (or lack thereof), or your computer itself. Or you're trying to do a computer's work on a stupid cellphone. Sorry to be blunt, my friend, but that's the truth.
Only site I visit on the net ad-blocker is needed is here.
Its all good rocky, im on a new laptop, my work computer is still the same way.
I just asked a question and don't need some dicksmack "George" spouting his comment. If there is something I can do on my computer then I will look into it. Just need to know where or what to do. I just find it funny that its only this site I have problems with.

That's what I was thinking...

Have you tried Vagisil ??
It is the Gov spying on us, Probably routed through their server first looking for key words like:
Jesus Christ, Tritonal, Symtex, C-4, Comp B, Anti-gravitational propulsion, nitromethane, ammonium nitrate, sulfuric acid, Jew, allah, islam, Christian, PETA, Abortion clinic, AR, AR-15, AK-47, SKS, Whitehouse, Harp, 1.1, church, white power, site 73, walmart security, grenade, subway, ricin, chloride, chemical, weapon, WMD, snowstorm, radioactive, assault, railway, airline, TSA, breech, blood agent, biological, nuclear, shoot down, glock...
I will ask again. Do you ever clean out your temp internet cookies, on your computer? You can also clean cookies here, and is recommended by Rick. At the first sign of anything different, cleaning cookies on my computer is the first thing I do. I also run Firefox and ad blocker. No problems here. miles

Same here. Quite a few of the folks I know who wanted to read my bicycle trip thread gave up after finding this site so slow to load.

Muzz, what browser are you using? If it's IE, that may be the problem. People using Firefox or Chrome don't have these issues.
Download one or the other, migrate your bookmarks over, then clean your cookies file. Download the AdBlocker Plus add-in. Then and only then log in here again. I predict you'll be astounded.
Added: Birdie, just for the halibut, I clicked on your bike thread. The whole 17 pages and all the photos loaded for me in just about one second. I watched the clock, and it made one tick from mouse click to your last comment loaded.

Rick, flush this turd.
I don't know what cleaning your cookies does, don't remember the last time I did that. But then I have the browser set to ask me if I want to accept cookies and say no to the junk/ad ones.
The thing about Firefox and Chrome is you can get add-ons that ask your permission before scripts are allowed to run. Misbehaving scripts cause the problems. I haven't tinkered with Internet Explorer in years so I don't know it you can selectively block scripts with it.

Keeps logging me out when I change a page?
I'm just wondering if they banned me and just didn't bother to tell me?
Stinks
It is certainly f'd up today.
When I press Active topics - no matter what I press it defaults me to "unanswered Topics" and usually logs me out!
What gives?
I smell liberal mischief
No good idea. There are cookies associated with the Campfire under the name 24hourcampfire.com and I think you have to allow those. Not sure what they do, just a string of letters and numbers when I look at them. Guessing(!) that one of them keeps you logged in. There clearing those cookies may help if one of them got corrupted.

DEMAND a refund!!!
I have serious problems too when I am on at home. here at work it's not too bad at all but at home it gets to the point I want to break my I Pad. I have tried chrome but it didn't help at all. I will say it has gotten worse over time, and I am not complaining but just saying I am having issues and if there's any other tricks I can try please let me know.
Ill figure something out. Slumlord my post count has nothing to do with anything. I haven't been to this site in years. Its funny how tough some are on the internet.
Re: cookies.
Poking around I just discovered that if you click on "My Stuff" at the bottom of the drop down menu there's "Cookies" and clicking on that will tell you about resetting your Campfire cookies. Is simple.
Sounds like the OP and a couple of you other guys need to get some spy ware malware... I use SpyBot Search and Destroy and Have ZERO issues...
