A few ads here and there are ok, but whoever is arranging to serve up the same annimated ads in 3 seperate boxs at the same time is an iddiot. Yes, I have checked other sites and a few speed tests and the problem is with this site. Sorry for the rant, the the excess adds are making me mad!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img]

I'm so tired of it I rarely return to the site.
I see many posts on this subject. So why is this problem not solved?!.

The problem should be solved. The animation was changed a few days ago to limit it to 3 loops and then it ends. The Ads will also stop displaying on December 31.

If anyone is interested, I may have found something that really speeds up page loads on ATV Connection (and Yahoo).
I removed a program called ADOBE ACTIVE-X from both of my computers (one Windows 98SE and the other Windows XP).
The Polaris ads (which were the problem) still apear, but the animation is no longer.

Man I love this site. I wouldn't care if it took an hour to load a page. I'd just go have a cup of coffee or something. But, also it's not slow for me whatsoever on cable modem. What it boils down to, is that this site does most of us a huge service, for free! Nobody comes on here like a telemarketer and tries to talk you into supporting, they leave it totally up to you. How anyone could complain because it takes 15 seconds to load a page is beyond me.

The firefox web browser has a known problem with flash. If you access a flash page or a page with a flash Ad, firefox will consume 50% - 60% of your processor. There is no problem with Microsoft Internet Explorer.
