hrmm peculiar

 

[gonaads]

It's every page with images on including the sigs and av's here.

You should try this, works great:

faster page rendering

Also:

enable pipeling

 

[Evil Marge]

Ta Gonaads. I've done that now I'll see what happens

 

[Henyman]

i find FF lightning fast

 

[Evil Marge]

You do? Cause it ain't here

 

[gonaads]

i find FF lightning fast

As I...

Marge, maybe some house cleaning? Defrag? Get the HDD(s) hummmin. Maybe?

 

[Henyman]

yeah run disk cleanup, defrag, clear all temp internet files + cookies, then kick your modem

 

[Evil Marge]

I dunno it's probably me,I'm cursed..Everything that can go wrong always does

Forgot to say that all you've said above was done yesterday when I was sproing cleaning the pc

 

[gonaads]

yeah run disk cleanup, defrag, clear all temp internet files + cookies, then kick your modem

Modem...!? No wonder.


errrrrr, dial-up joke

 

[Evil Marge]

I ain't on dial up

 

[Henyman]

what speed?


i seem to remember it being 128k or sumin with NTL

 

[Evil Marge]

150k but if I open same pages with IE it whizzes along

 

[SPeedY_B]

That really does have to be the most pathetic thing NTL have done.

Hey look at our 128k lines!
-- Whatever, we've had dual ISDN for years
Oh Sh!t! Quick, make it 150k! ... man, we're so good.

NTL suck btw, just for those who don't know

 

[Evil Marge]

Give it a rest .
It's nothing to do with NTL,I've asked around and I'm not the only one having problems with Firefox being slow
I'm trying to stick it out but it's annoying.

 

[Glaanieboy]

Mayve FireFox is intelligent enough to detect what ISP you use, so it makes you think that the internet is really slow, so you quickly step over to another, faster, better ISP?

 

[Evil Marge]

Tell that to a friend of mine who's got same trouble and he's got Satellite internet

 

[Khayman]

i find, it quite fast. faster than IE in most cases. have you enabled pipelining and forced it to load the page before everything is loaded... that makes no sense..... i forget the word, but theres a couple of tweaks that might help

 

[Evil Marge]

I know what you mean and all that's been done.
The more I'm on a site the quicker it gets but when I first open pages it loads like a snail and the images take ages to load up.

 

[Glaanieboy]

Alright, I am thinking of stepping over from Outlook 2003 to Thunderbird, does anyone know if there is a converter around that converts the OL2003 mail and contacts to Thunderbird format?

 

[NetRyder]

I switched back to Tbird from Outlook 2003 a few weeks ago.
Thunderbird will be able to import all your mails and contacts from Outlook. Just use Tools>Import and select the Mail/Address Book option.
