It certainly does keep this board active!
Sheesh! Fake reviews, bad reviews, good reviews, removing fake/bad/good reviews, shilled reviews, when to review and howthefuck do I get a my review approved? have all ben discussed in the last seven days.  
  Say what you want but the TER review process with all its ancillary controversies is wearing out keyboards from Maine to San Diego.

...maybe we can all get back to the important part.

cause I've said my piece ad nauseum.

allowed to post or are so heavely moderated that they don't bother reading or trying to post any more on TER.  Plus with new boards they probably go there.

I didn't get in on any of the other threads either.

I'm sure you do know it, I pilfered it from one of your emails. But I would have rather been able to get an actual demonstration.

discouraged at posting. My cable is very fast, and other sites load very very fast, with the exception of TER.  Confusing though. At this very moment, 2 pm (usually I am not online at this time,things are just humming along...)

that I am sorely discouraged.  then there are other things... like I've said my pieces over and over again. Sigh.

Thanks, I almost went out without my sunglasses

But your pieces are soooooo lovely!

Oops.  I'm sorry.  I didn't mean to talk dirty.  Forgive me Felicia.

I got cable DSL and a 2 Gig processor in my p'uter and I commonly fold laundry waiting for these respective pages to load.

That's gotta hurt!

and certainly not your computer, then it must be the site.  It loads slowly for me too at times.  AAAAAArrrrrrgh, I sometimes could eat a lunch, take a walk, take a nap, and the site is still thinking.....    So it is not just me then.  

There might be a couple things you could try to help give the illusion of speeding things up:

Use Firefox or another tabbed browser (Maxthon, Avant)

open each thread link, original posts and replies, in their own tabs, and set tabs to open in the background.
This way all the links for posts are opening at once instead of one at a time if you just have a single window without tabs.

You can also, use a new tab for posting replies, have it loading in the background, and the tabs help here if you want to refer back to more than one post in your reply.

Won't reallt speed anything up exactly but kind of lets your browser multi-task.

As for when a page seems to take an inordinately long time to open, try stopping it and either hitting refresh or closing its tab, and reclicking the link.  For me at least usually when it hangs what i end up getting is a SQL database error, generally parsing errors most likely from too many querries to the database.

Hope there is something in this rambling you can use.
