Thanks Cindy... I suspect my isp at this point and it isn't as bad as it was earlier.

Not on this part of the East coast either. ECF has been humming right along nicely today.

Me and others having loading problem. No icon options for pictures, video, and smilies. Started this afternoon.

No change. Have someone check the switches to make sure they are set right.

Okay weird. I got the icon options in some threads just not all.

Oh well maybe tomorrow will be a better day.

Generally, that's going to be a browser issue. Clear your cache and it should clear up.

Kent, if you get 'cursor sludge' or something like it, then it's on your PC.

All kinds of things can be done to try and clear it:
- flush all browser history, restart browser
- run CCleaner and get rid of the deep cookies
- defrag, especially if you have >5% fragmentation (hard disk maintenance task)
- with a small/old laptop or PC, get FreeRamXP Pro and use it to clear the RAM after visiting resource-intensive websites that have loads of ads and vids on the page
- switch between two browsers, using the one that runs the fastest
- reboot
- do a hard reset (especially good with laptops: shut down, remove all cables and plugs, turn it over and remove the battery, hit the power button 3 times, replace the battery, replace the cables, start up)

Or give up and go back to bed.
