Anyone also having this problem? It is likely that this is due to an old fashion dial-up modem but I do not have this difficulty on other forum sites. The problem is this: when I click on a thread it delays for several seconds before I get any action. Same thing hitting the back button etc.---whenever I want to change screens. Like I said, only having this "delay" on this site???? JOHN

I'm on dial-up and I'm not getting a delay tonight. Delays are usually a bad connection, so many packets are re-transmitted, or a satellite link. If you want zero delay when you click the back button, download the Opera browser.

I don't know if it's due to a connection problem. I run a cable modem, which is smokin' fast, and still have this issue sometimes. I'd lean towards a browser problem or traffic surges on web page hosting services.
I used to have similar problems until I swiched to GNU-Linux. The nice thing about linux is, it's free!

Tried this site on a high speed cable setup and it was still delaying getting from one screen to another.
cochran you might try a different web browser. My favorite is available for free for windows, you can download it here:

It's a wonderful product and the built in pop-up blocker is excellent!
