Hey Bob, quick question before I pass this along. Is that pop up still "popping up"?

Bernie

 

[Rambit]

Just sent it upward. I'd be tempted to deny it permanently though and it's probably a part of Google ads.

Just got a PM back from JayC on this Bob and sent you a PM.

Love Bernie

Site burdened with Ads?

Even on a fast cable connection or LAN connection, each page seemingly takes 10-15 seconds to load. I use Firefox, and can see all of the ad url's flashing by in the lower left corner.

 

[gfr-300SRT8]

Yep it's pretty bad.....

 

[Northern Rider]

Those perimeter ads can be an issue - as their graphics load not fom our site server (which is very fast) but from other remote servers. Some are slow and this site tries to rehit them a few times, sometimes delaying the loads.

It is annoying - but I guess it is the price we members have to pay to maintain this as a "'free" forum. The owners of the site rely on the revenue from these ads to cover the cost of hosting this and dozens of other car forums - and, i guess, to return a profit to the shareholders.

 

[JimTurner]

Agreed, however, if a site gets to the point where the burden slows down the user experience, you lose users, and ad revenue.

15 seconds to load a forum page on a broad-band is a bad user experience.

When I'm on my air card, I simply don't visit this site anymore because the load time is minutes.

My $0.02 after tax, title and license.

I've noticed the site seems to be loading very slowly too. I agree with Jim Turner. When it doesn't load, sometimes I just close the browser and come back and try again later. This is no way to get new users because unlike me, new visitors who are unfamiliar with the site will probably never return if the page doesn't load in a timely manner on their first try.

Point well taken, Jim and Ken. Thanks.

Comments like this give the admin here ammunition to lobby on behalf of the general membership with the owners of the site.

Gallery pictures are not viewable. All I get is a red "X". The thumbnails are viewable, but as soon as I click onto them, up pops the X. Also happened to my attached photos on threads. Gallery linked photos do not show. Outside sources (photobucket) do show.

Thanks for the report.

The techies are aware of the issue - say the pics are there. Hopefully we will have the function working soon.

Why is it that when I try to view my profile is states "This user has not registered and therefore does not have a profile to view."

Thanks!

This is a problem we're VERY aware of and it's been reported to the AutoForums tech admins. The problem is that you have a symbol (.) in your user name. Any symbol other than the underscore (_) will result in this error in the software. This problem is affecting 100's of users. I can give you a quick fix by changing your user name if you like, but it won't fix the big problem. Post in this thread what name you'd like if that's suitable to you. All your posts will reflect the new name and nothing will be lost.

Think I will wait it out for now.

Like my user name!

Thanks!

Fair enough. I hope they get this fixed soon.

I noticed the same thing a couple of days ago when I tried to view someones profile who had a "." in their name and I got the same message. I knew it had to be some kind of weird software error because obviously they were registered or they wouldn't have a name at all. It's good to know why it was happening and that you are working on the fix.
