    Maybe the recent changes cause page load problems with particular browsers or browser versions?

    I don't understand then. I know I'm not the only one who has highlighted this, I wonder why some of us have experienced the slowness only since the change and others haven't.
    I have been told by MSE Joe that the slowness I am having is due to the version of IE8 that I use, it has a 128-bit cypher strength and unless I remove that security, I will always have the problem of slow loading pages.
    He went on to quote times for other sites but I do not experience the same problem anywhere else other than this site and only since the recent changes.


    I have noticed that sometimes when there has been a longer than usual delay, it has been because my system has been blocking cookies that this site has been trying to plant, usually associated with facebook, twitter and google.

    I'm afraid I'm not techie at all, so I guess I'll just have to put up with it, but I have to say that if I was new to the website it'd probably put me off visiting again. As I'm a reasonably long standing member of the forum, it won't put me off, but it will p*ss me off. How would you go about removing a 128 bit cypher?

    I have noticed the MSE Forum being a bit slower (than normal) to load tonight. It seems to sit on the 'images2' server for quite some time. (XP sp3, Firefox 10.0.2, running MSE old-style non-stretchy rather than new layout)

    That sounds like just so much squit. I understood 128-bit was the fastest level.

    I have 256-bit IE9 and had no problems until the recent changes.

    It isn't our browsers, it's the MSE forum that's the problem.
