Hey mods, not to make anyone mad but my computer is built really well and the advertisements having the exrtra stuff to them really slows it down. I would hate to have a 56k or a slower compter. I dont know if anyone can fix this since they are advertisers and you gotta post what they give you. Thanks

After you've been to NICO once your computer should have cached the pic.

Actua;lly we have a rela quick server and all.

I am on a fast connection so I dont notice any probs but a 56k might be slow I guess.

Actually, the ads aren't waht slows you down, it is the avatars and signature pics.

The ads are in an "overlay" to VBulletins and load very fast on 56K, but the avatars and signatures bog it down. We are actively addressing this issue over the next month or so.

Thanks! :)

for some reason my computer isn't showing the list of sponsors....the window's there, but it's smaller than it should be, and it doesn't show any of their graphics with links.....this has only happened since i started logging in on my parents' computer via 56k, but i let the whole thing load, and it still does the same :/

WarrenG - There are some anti-virus programs that have a setting that prevents ALL ads from displaying.

Bet your parent's PC has Norton. You can edit the settings.
