I'm having all sorts of weird stuff happening. What is going on? I'm
getting to the mightily p**d off stage.

This really has been an issue for some time, judging by the start date of this thread and from reading through posts, it has never been completely resolved for any length of time.

What is forum protocol about such an ongoing problem?

clio

still no good for me, page loading is an issue still !!

Hey

clio

here is a screenshot and you'll see length of time is 20 minutes and top of the page is the only thing loaded - with 1 meg connection.
