Hi all,
Thank you for all your comments. I do not have my PC at this time and have been using internet cafes to go online. I have used EI 7 and 8, Mozilla Firefox 1.9.0.3224, and Opera with different connection speeds and at many different times with the same result of late. It takes up to 2 mins for any page to open or to sign in. It can not be the fault of 20+ PCs at several locations that did work well in the past.
In regard to Crome, I have used it on my PC for about two months and have not had any problems with it at all.

Caper, I have FF3.04 [latest] and it will not pull in that page I put up. Opera does. Anyway... poor ole Bob...
Bob, try creating another account...

Hi gerbil, my FF could render that loooong post and replies to it perfectly. Also latest version in my native language. I must admit, that there were previous cases when FF did leave a blank area with those long posts.

Bob, see if it is an ad script that struggle to load. Some of these ad scripts can get stuck sometimes.

Hi,
Changing the user name will not help as I get the problem from the download of the cover page where I need to log on from. The major part of the page loads in about 1 minute then the area where I select the forum from takes another minute. I can download 2mg in less than 2 minutes so speed is not the problem. All other sites work well it is just Daniweb where I am having trouble. Sometimes when I am in Daniweb and make a posting it will post and display in less than 1 second but if I try to return to the main menu of problems, it will take up to 2 minutes again.

it loaded the long page no problem ,and my pages here load quite fast, no problem , i do have problem with speed on occasions on this site and the long post, just not right now

i tried the long post again and it turns black part way down ,last nite it worked fine

... I jus dunno, caper.... an Bob, I was afraid you would say that. "as I get the problem from the download of the cover page where I need to log on from."

I stand as an observer only - I say that FF3 is fine, because from my standpoint it is.

I am not discounting any opinion to the contrary. If there have been issues, then OK, I believe you, and I am kinda NKOTB here so maybe it has been resolved recently and so I never saw it.

"I say that FF3 is fine, because from my standpoint it is." That is fine then, hot; if it works for you, well, that is all that is required of it [FF]. I have no strong point to make on this issue... it is just that for some it works, some of the time [check caper's posts...], and for some it does not, most of the time [me ..]. Perhaps is works for some, all of the time. I do not know networking, or much about browsers.. I don't think I know NKOTB either...

HI, Gerbil.

Thanks for backing off for me. I realise everyone's experiences are different. I am interested to find FF= GNU/open sauce (ask JB, inhouse joke) version of opera. so why is FF greater in popularity?

It would seem we have poached this thread...
