    For the last few days -actually since a firefox and avg upgrade about one in 3 times I try to post or read I get a waiting for barnsleyfc.org.uk message and it just sits there. If I stop and retry it works. Not noticed it on other websites though

    I dont get the same if I use IE - just trying to find out if its something specific to my computer - suspecting AVG9 as I am also getting some issues with outlook since I upgraded

    I don't use firefox

    but could that be a problem with the site server because in IE It hangs something terrible when I try clicking anything on here, same as your firefox its about one in three times

    Thats strange

    I've been experimenting with Firefox and IE and I have no problems with IE on here at all - other than sometimes a delay whilst the server sorts itself out

    It seems my firefox cant handle the delays - if the server responds quickly all is well if its a bit slow firefox gives up and just sits there you have to stop and restart to get it to go again.

    Think I've eliminated AVG as the culprit as I disabled the plugin and it makes no difference

    Looks like its the firefox last update - see dyketykes comments below. Hmmm

    AVG

    I don't know if this is related, but I had to give it up when version 7 was released. It just caused so many issues with system slow downs.

    Have you tried a non image skin version? I do wonder if the problems people have with speed is because all the bloody avatars and images in signatures we have.

    The more images/assets on a page the more time it will take to download a page and if the sites that are hosting these images on are running slowly it will give the effect that this site is slow. I have all this switched off at all times and I hardly ever find the site slow.

    And if you really want to know what it causing the hang install Fidler or YSlow for firebug.

    Version 9 claims to fix them

    So far it seems thats true but I have had some strange effect with outlook

    It seems to struggle with hibernating the pc and then restarting on a different network - eg hibernate at work and unhibernate at home or vice versa. Outlook itself blamed an avg9.dll which I disabled this morning so we will see what happens

    Not sure if that means my email antivirus scanner isnt working though - AVG says it is but I havent a tame virus to email myself to check

    I still leave avatars but gave up on signatures ages ago

    That doesnt explain delays when posting a message. Its definitely my firefox anyway as it doesnt do it with IE for me at all
    and this only started a few days ago - strangly shortly after firefox upgraded itself.

    Looks like its back to IE for a bit until firefox fix whatever it is they broke
