Ron Brind Posts: 19044 Joined: 26th Oct 2003 Location: England	quotePosted at 12:52 on 13th June 2008 I've noticed over the last few days that POE has become a lot slower to load when I open up a new browser! Is anybody else having a similar problem? I am currently using IE6 and am aware that IE7 update is available, but it somehow seems not to be compatible on my PC. If I load POE from Firefox it's much quicker, almost instant in fact. OK, I know some smart a..e will say well use Firefox instead but I would like to know what the reason for it is, so is anybody having the same problem?

Its slow and I cant download half the stuff that I want. Dont get it. Just my thoughts on the matter. I use cable broadband, and it is quite fast. I dont have any problems with loading POE at all. Try loading POE through google, that works quite fast too. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

So c'mon 'clever one' whats the problem, indeed are you having the same problem? And just so that there is no misunderstanding, like perhaps Andy or Denzil answering to the 'clever one', I am talking about the lovely Maria! (MG) My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

Fantastic, I'll be using it permanently from now on, it's very fast!! My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

What the heck does it matter if it takes a long time, try driving up and down the M1 all day, you'll soon learn to chill out. Good things are worth waiting for.........20meg broadband pah. Two years ago you'd have been happy with the time it takes now, the world ought to slow down, take it easy blah, blah, blah, etc. etc. Thanks. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

Use Ad-aware and Spybot ( or any other program that you trust). No, seriously, you're all too impatient.

Yes, I expect Denzil might say something like that Sue, he's an astute man, and very laid back. In fact he's so laid back, he's reclining. Very comfy. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions
