Ad Blocking on this website?

Login can truly be slow, I have seen that myself, too occasionally.

again.. ditto for me.. slow login but everything else is snappy

[and my internet speed.. though i think it's already been established that this isn't part of the problem, posting your internet speed on the internet is required at least once a year.. so now i'm good til 2014 ]

[off:1899mevl]edit-- and even more off topic….

i would think internet speeds would be better than that in nyc but i guess there are a bazillion connections happening around here which will put a damper on things..

this is the list of wifi networks i can see from my 5th floor apt in a strictly residential area.. probably gets even more congested in other parts of the city..

Here's my speed...

Here's my neighbourhood....

I don't suffer from wifi congestion

I do suffer from isolation though

that looks eerily similar to my mom's house.. she lives on the outskirts of this one-stoplight (literally) town(?)..

Stoplights? We don't even have streetlights...

.....and you tell the young people of today that and they don't believe you!

Indeed, the Four Yorkshireman, new version is very good too. Youtube will get you there.

Verryyy slooowwww with adblock off, takes over a minute to load pages, sorry this is a big problem folks.

[Rich O Brien]

No speed problems here. Less than 3 secs to load page.

There's a tool under Inspect Element in Chrome that allows you to view the load times of every item on a page. Or Dev Tool in IE, F12 I think.

If you can find the cause then maybe we can investigate.

This is what you get in Palm Springs , CA. mostly old copper lines but it's one of the nicer quieter places in SoCal.

I've noticed some of you Guys have blazing fast download-speeds but your Ping is way up?

[Gaieus]

Well, mine seems to be faster indeed - but I am not sure this should explain site slowness to that extent.

not after seeing pete's results.. his internet is way faster than anyone else here but he's experiencing a slow scf

you need to tone down the adblock detection guys.

right now, it's triggering if it even detects adblock is installed and enabled.. even when the site is whitelisted! and sorry. I am NOT uninstalling it just to come here. I make an exception for you guys alone. I've actually had to install a secondary browser to use here with no adblocks installed to test but thats not staying for long.. I dunno what you changed but...

(I have an aversion to flashing things constantly extorting me to buy crap, rogue adverts trying to install malware (right now there's a lovely ad that pops up on Notalwaysright that keeps trying to install something on my Nexus 7 tablet if I use that to read the articles...) etc. )

Thank you! I have an adblock active for the same reasons, always had and I don't want to waste my time cleaning up malware.

Khai, I also have AdBlock installed and when I disable it on SCF, it works fine. The "solution" here is not "sensing" if AdBlock is installed or not but if ads are displayed or not.

then I invite you here to show me how to fix it.
I have "disabled" it on this site. I cannot "see" pictures or attachments. I get a message that I am running an adblocker.

so. if I disable it fully and restart firefox? I see the pictures and attachments.
I reenable it, I don't see them

so. what does that say? hmm? the site is whitelisted and allowed in Adblock. until last the last few days, I was having no issues.

now I am. and yes I AM seeing ads. I'm NOT seeing attachments.

[Khai]

also this is what I'm seeing. ad's at the top
and the blocking message at the bottom. oh and ironically.. I can't see my own attachment.

Chrome with no adblock still takes well over a minute to log on

There are ads between the board index and the corner bar. They seem to be "lost" on your screenshot.
