I just reinstalled the spider ban software late last night to see if it helps franks problems
Cant see it myself but.....
Cursor thing still happening, Regards Frank.
The problem seems to be with Internet Explorer 9. Five minutes ago I logged on with IE and it was happening then. Gave up on Firefox when I had a PC - used to be good then became very slow to load.Quote:

On GC I can place the cursor anywhere and it is visible whether the mouse is on or off the window (Mouse does however change to an arrowhead when off the window) while on IE the cursor disappears and shows as a line (not arrowhead) when off the window.
Hope this helps.

Strangely, just last night at home and today at work I'm getting delays when opening Australian Land Rover Owners - AULRO.com - I'd always thought it was a localised issue for individual users (maybe it still is!).
Never had an issue before, and nothing's changed on my end. Using latest version of Firefox. I'll keep monitoring.
Update: When trying the enter the thread about Windows 8, it took about 30 seconds for the main body frame to load - the ads and banner loaded quickly. When hovering over that area, the bottom status bar in Firefox mentions waiting for digitalniche.com.au. Perhaps that that might be the cuplrit?
by its very nature and the size of the database it is wading thru this place is never going to be super quick with 400 odd people onboard.
30 secs..... slow but okay for what it is in a high use time slot....
2-3 mins as frank was saying is a whole different ball game
i can make it run quick as a flash but it wont be worth coming here because the useful addons and the content from way back when till now will mostly be gone :p
a lot of speed issues are related to your own settings on thread views as well
if you have it set to 30 days it will be quicker than a 90 day view etc etc.
it is what it is.... i am not changing it substantially just to make it 20 seconds quicker.
sure there are third issues from time to time like overloaded ad servers but thats the nature of the beast and i have no control over those third party issues.
i keep the place running on the best hardware i can afford with the income i get from the place and more a lot of the time.
and to be frank i have yet to see a 2 or 3 minute load time myself
30 seconds maybe in peak hours and maybe a minute once or twice when the last outage occurred but never anything like i see some people complain about.
Inc., last night (early this morning actually) the loading just got slower and slower, the last post I clicked on still hadn't loaded after 2 mins. or so, so I went and made a cuppa. When i came back 3 or 4 minutes later it had loaded the the top bit with the ads. So I left it till I went to bed and it was still in the same spot an hour later, it hadn't crashed as I could still move the cursor around, so I closed AULRO down, the rest of the sites I usually visit were working ok. Got rid of the spyware stuff and AVG and am just running Microsoft Security Essentials, no difference and cursor still disappearing, Regards Frank.
you obviously have other issues beyond my control
taking all the extra duplicated antivirus and anti malware stuff off has to make a difference to the way a system runs.. unless there is some other heavy infection or software issue
you might want to download and run combofix
