So slow now

[Katya]

i bet it's pretty slow for you then

Actually, it isn't, Tybin. It was excruciatingly slow in IE 8, it was a bit faster with the In-Private browsing block, but IE 9 is surprisingly fast. With my setup, it's faster than Chrome. But those jumping buttons are giving me seizures....

 

[tybin]

i'd "like" the above post cept you are having seizures glad to know your speed is ok

 

[Katya]

Well, Roly will find a solution, I'm sure... Some kind of option to disable those buttons from ECF. I'm just going to wait patiently and try not to nag. You know, no pressure. Administration is so busy nowadays.....

In-Private browsing blocks history too. I use history - a lot. I've been using IE9 since beta and while it's fast, the facebook and google plus loading slows things down noticeably.

Pretty sure it is the Google +1 button that's the problem.

FF has some nice features but on Windows, IE is the best choice imo.

I've been holding off on installing IE9 ince I know how to use IE8 -- is that stupid? I can be clueless!!!

We're vets having problems, I wonder what newbs think we they try and peruse the site and it won't load worth crap..........

 

[tiburonfirst]

well, i came across a website today where a toolbar popped up on the bottom of the page containing all those buttons - fb, google, and tweet. i closed out the bar and all was gone. now i can't find it anymore to provide the link to roly but it must have been a news site since that's what i read on sunday mornings.
can y'all watch out for that ???????

So I got rid of FB and Google +1.
Now I got Tweet!!!

For IE9 try this, it might at least speed up your browser a bit:

Tools > Safety (or directly to tracking protection) > Tracking Protection > click on Your Personalized List > Enable > Settings > change the : Show content from providers .... to 3 > click Automatically Block > OK > Close

-------------------------------------

There's also lists you can download. I haven't tried any of them. Be advised, if you try a list download, only have one active, as they can clash. [Including with your personalized list.]

if you really must be rid of the buttons and can live without facebook, google +, and twitter you could always edit the hosts file.
If Roly doesn't get the coders to do a workaround (disable option) I'll do a tutorial on how to block them through the hosts file. It is not as hard as people would think.

So I got rid of FB and Google +1.
Now I got Tweet!!!

I have not seen twitter on my puters but it is on my cell

 

[tiburonfirst]

with in-private filtering activated i still get the fb connect and twitter buttons

 

[Liscab]

oh yes now i see the twitter bottom

 

[Liscab]

all we need now is a hotmail and a yahoo bottom too in here

 

[tiburonfirst]

such a beautiful sight

Kent, I think Katya meant to say In Private Filtering. [It's extremely difficult to communicate whilst crying and experiencing seizures.] The In Private Filtering (it's in IE8 not IE9) adjustment does not affect history.

I tried using the InPrivate Browsing and things definitely loaded faster. I also created a Firewall rule Blocking ALL traffic between Twitter / Facebook and that seemed to help also. Not quite as fast as it used to be but a good work-around.

Of course, if I turn off Active Scripting in IE things load at Light Speed. But you also loose quite a bit of functionality.
