   This is probably the biggest aggravation of ads.  I've had the same problem at numerous other sites, including my web mail.  Glad you brought it to SysOp's attention!

   Larry,

   I haven't noticed it with my DSL connection.  I'll have to check it out when I get on the dial up.  The adds are so small they really shouldn't cause that to happen.  I suspect it's something else.

   Regards,

   Bob @ Kidderville Acres

   It's not the size of the ads, but something in the process that's serving them up. I have a cable modem, and I notice it some of the time. The first message in a thread comes up quickly, then there's a hesitation (up to a couple of seconds), then the ad and the rest of the messages in the thread come up.

   Bob,I believe the problem has been fixed. I am on a high speed connection and it was very slow for a couple days. The first new post in a thread would load normally then the outline of the ad would stay blank for what seemed like minutes and the following posts wouldn't load until the ad was complete. I haven't had a problem with it since the first couple days of the ads reappearance.
