Hey..."Tweek" buttons his shirt the same way I do! :grin:
Man, that question sure brought out a lot of hidden frustration.
Actually, the site does sometimes seem slow to me, but...hey...I'm just a visitor here, and if I don't like it, I can always log off.:smile:
I'm not in that big a hurry anyway.

Coming in ahead of FedEx can't be all that bad :wink:
However, I think many of the times this site appears slow is a combination of the site server AND the bandwith of one's internet service. If you have your status bar on (IE), check how long it takes to connect to the website, then how long for reply. This will tell you where the problem is.

Status bar often goes to 'full' (immediately) and then hangs for a few seconds. Where would you look for the problem?

OK here's where a Mod gets accused of having a 'tude.
As far as I know this forum is just a gift from Mr Holt. He does not even have a link here to his main site. No advertising, no fees.
So when people repeatedly mention the site is slow (like we do not know) or keep bringing up wanting free stickers for being here it kind of hits me wrong.
Lets say the stickers could be produced and mailed for $0.75 which of the 45,000 members should they be sent to?
Or lets just keep it to the 1,800 active members, heck thats only a $1,000 we are asking Mike to part with. How do you other business owners feel about outsiders taking your money.
<rant off>
JMHO.

Thanks!!! :wink: (Speaking of those, any word lately on real ones?)chris kennedy said:
I should state that one cannot totally rely on any one of those automated speed tests. I can get widely varying results from several different ones.
Here's one which I don't put much faith in on the reported speed, but it does analyze the page and offers several recommendations to improve download performance.

Who doesn't like stickers?
I believe you are referring to the animated "loading" bar. Look to the left for the wording, such as connecting to website (your link up), found website and/or waiting for reply (waiting for or connected with server), downloading (could be problems with either or both server and link to it).hardworkingstiff said:

Well I read most all posts. The issue of the stickers has been brought up more then a few times.
It's not a huge deal, I just felt it was worth reminding people that this place is FREE! No strings attached. :smile:
How many places on the WWW do you go to that are both free and have no advertising? To me that alone makes this a great place, then add in all the highly knowledgeable people that post here and it's even better. :smile:
I'm willing to pay for stickers, but I can't buy something that isn't made. Due to the content, I can't even have them made myself due to potential copyright infringements.iwire said:
Perhaps Mike H. would be kind enough to license someone to have them made.

Must be hard to read all those posts...I applaud that.
It just seems to me that when chris posted a link to a sticker, it hit a nerve.
Relax man.
You guys take a lot of abuse sometimes....

And sell them for $2 plus shipping and handling. Sounds like a plan.
