2 minutes add

It noticeably slows down page rendering in IE and I really don't want to hear nonthing about Opera, FX, etc...

@ JPnyc:
is there anything you can do JP?

Thanks

2 minutes add? Huh? I'm confused.

I've tested this forum in IE6, IE7, FireFox 1.5, FireFox 2, Opera 8, Opera 9, and Safari and everything loads and renders quickly on all the pages so I don't understand what you're refering to :confused:

Joe,

There are several times when the page isnt completely loading and its because the 2 minute JM ad in the top right corner is blank.

This happens on the index, usercp, and a few other pages.

just hanges and never completes.

Well I at least know what RhinoBull was refering to. I saw you looking at that thread, why did you need to create a duplicate one?

Also, are you sure the issue isn't client side? I've never had this issue on any of the computers I browse VBForums with...

No I didnt quite get it at the time. :D

threads merged.

i also seen it hang on a "ad doubleclick" too so its not just a 2 minute ad issue.

I would need to know the ads that are causing the problem. I haven't seen one called 2 minute ad yet.

I'm surprised you haven't - "TWO MINUTES TIPS" comes up more often than any other.

I'm looking at it now with IE and it's working fine for me :confused:

Maybe it's a very large ad and some people have internet connections that are a bit slow? Not sure what the problem could be other than that...

Connection speed is out of question - my provider offers the fastest cable in the nation, period.
The problem is: ad appears first and after few moments (this may take second, two, three...) rest of the page.
What else do you need to know? And please do not mention FX or Opera (etc) again - as I stated in my original post I could care less for any of those.

Not sure. It doesn't do this to me on any of the 3 windows machines I use with IE6 and IE7. Since the only time I experience an issue like you mentioned is when I'm using my mobile phone as a modem, it sounded like the issue was a slow internet connection.

When I just tested it again with IE7, the ad actually doesn't show up (just a red X) so I'm guessing they pulled it?

That's great that you don't care and all. I only mentioned it in conjunction with IE and nothing more. I never said used only FX or Opera nor did I say anything else about them. I only mentioned them in conjunction with IE.
