I don't get why this site is so slow.

Admins, take note: of all the sites I access routinely, this is the slowest-loading one. Doesn't matter what computer or speed of access I have, it's still slow.

I wonder if you are giving feedback like, "this site is slower than usual, and you might want to look into it," or if you are just griping about something that is provided to you free of charge. I can't tell.

HOLD IT FOLKS! THE WORLD IS IN TROUBLE!
I actually agree with everything Crusty has said. See, Crusty, I knew you and I could be Friends.
Isn't it funny that it is only the new folks who are complaining? Personally, I find the web site slow also -- but, I am grateful to TimesDaily for providing it for us.
Keep in your mind: The Price Is Right! It is FREE! So, if there is a wee bit of drag once in a while -- relax, go get a cup of coffee or a cup of tea -- and, by the time you come back, voila! -- there it is.
If we were paying TimesDaily to provide us with an online newspaper or the Forum -- then, we could complain. But, hey, it is free. So, enjoy it, join in our lovely little agreements and a few disagreements -- and let's all have fun.
God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,
Bill

Bill, you are soooo correct. We shouldn't complain about something that is free. That is why my message is to to advertisers on this website. The site is so slow to load, I don't access this website 1/2 as much as I would otherwise. Maybe if you are an advertiser, you should complain since you are paying for it. Unfortunately, as a user of this site, I don't have the right to complain, so you will have to do it for me.

No, Smooth, I am just a reader and Forum poster like you. But, I do appreciate the fact that the TimesDaily makes the Forum available to us. Many newspapers do not. So, why complain about a free ride?
And, I hate the pop-up ads as much as everyone else -- but, I guess that is the price we pay for this privilege.
God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,
