I Use AdBlock For a Reason
-
I don´t use any ad-block or firewall software, I guess It is blocked in the network at the IT department, I work at at a large company +1000 employes and can´t talk to the IT department to disable the firewall for my connection. Even If I become a premium user I will be forbidden to download?

Hi jaceguay,
Premium Members have the option of using AdBlock if they so wish while viewing / downloading. I am sure you will be delighted with what we offer our Premium Members and probably will wonder why you have not taken up Premium Membership all along.

I for one enjoy advertising at places that interest me. I have yet to see an advertising unit here that does not sell something that is related to my field. It keeps me abreast of current technology and pricing and deals. Now the new egg ads that follow me all over the rest of the internet trying to sell me things that I've already bought on new egg... that's annoying.

The ads never bother me either but I can´t change the internet access configuration in my office.
Everything working fine now, thanks Mike, for the reply. -

I've turned adblock off but still have intermittent loading problems. Sometimes, like this morning, I can come on here no problems, but then I can come back a couple hours later (like this visit) it'll again take a minute for New Posts, or any thread to load.
what might cause that intermittent loading issues I have?
-
ISP has issues connecting because of the volume accessing from that region maybe?
We may need a mirror in the US

This is unfortunate. I don't have adblocking or any other restrictions (Chrome)... so it's being blocked by the firewall.

Has anything been figured out about what can be done about this
waiting on: buyselladds?I haven't followed the troubleshooting talk, is it a firewall issue, or something else I can change at my end?
sometimes in the morning (like now) there's no lag, but during the day and evening, it's terrible, and I often just give up and leave. I bet you're loosing alot of visitors. I hope you can figure this out.
EDIT It took almost 5 minutes for this to post ..

It is simply to do with the fact your are in the US and the server is in Germany. If there is lots of US visitors then you may experience slow speeds.
In the EU it is zippy.
We are exploring CDN or mirroring for the US but this cost $$$ per month.
If more US members can confirm Joe's speed tests then we will seriously look at it. But so far the amount of complaints is on 1 hand.
Run a poll, hold a survey...I really want our US visitors to enjoy the site as much as possible but we need more feedback
