The page loaded complete,


good? bad?

It took my computer almost a minute to load the first page and then it wouldn't load the second page at all, and what's this thing where the cursor disappears and only the bottom half of the text shows when typing a post.
Doesn't do it on any other forum or web-site only here, Regards Frank.

Inc., I'm no computer whizz, but these problems have only occurred in the last few months out of the years i have been on this Forum. The only changes made this end is upgrading to this latest version of windows about a year back, have anti-spyware, malaware, Microsoft Security Essentials, AVG ant-Virus, all up to date and a total scan every week, as it only happens on this site is there something I'm missing or need to correct this problem, Regards Frank

surprised it does anything at all...

do yourself a favour get rid of everything other than microsoft security essentials and see how your system behaves.

you have multiple anti virus progams running in memory, multiple anti malware programs running at the same time all happily confusing each other

i bet you have something like belarc or advanced system care running as well?

if so get rid of it and see where your system is at then..

try it for a week and see how you get on...

Inc., I have closed down everything except microsoft security essentials, it took me 2 minutes to get back to here to tell you, so speed hasn't improved, I'll let you know how the disappearing cursor goes, Regards Frank.

I have only Microsoft Security Essentials (all other anti-everything has been hopefully removed) but I have noticed the cursor disappears when composing or editing posts. It's where you place it but in invisible ink. Also if I type a quotation mark and a few other characters it does not appear until I press the space bar (but I don't want a space). Did the disappearing trick as I wrote this. If I "move" the cursor off the composing area to the blue surround you can then see the cursor

Any ideas why?

Firefox or internet explorer?

I have to suffer explorer and windows 7 at work, and in the reply box the cursor never shows/works properly, have to position by mouse click

also, this is the FEWEST online I've seen in a week, just over 200,,
but over a hundred are webcrawlers,
every day this week the number has been well over 400
