    Eggxpert forums super slow in Firefox

    Not sure if this is a bug issue or just a general suggestion feedback so here it gets posted.

    Has something changed on the forums?  For the last couple days the site moves painfully slow.  At first I thought I was just having a internet hickup but every other site I then went to, including the regular Newegg.com site moved normally.  So I launched Explorer and came in here and everything went normal speed.  Perhaps there was a Firefox update that went through but it seems odd that this is the only site I go to that this issue occurs on.  It is not that it is just slow, it is like it is not even responding for a bit before it goes to the page I click on.  What I mean is I can click the Active forums on the right side (example as all behave the same) and I see on the bottom left it is loading or finding or whatever it does for the page but then if I hover over any other links while I am waiting for this page to go nothing will highlight, not even the Firefox links up at the top like Bookmarks, History and so on.  This only occurs on the forums here, I have not been able to replicate this issue on any other site.

    I've noticed that too, but I've been having a lot of trouble with Firefox on my work computer. It tends to crash a lot, but it could be the computer

    I never recommend people run RAID-5 with onboard chipsets.

    Hmm [^o)] Re: Eggxpert forums super slow in Firefox

    Well I solved the speed issue, though it is not the best solution. I set noscript to block eggxpert.com (so all the ads and flash stuff is blocked) and zoom no slowdown anymore or pauses. I can only assume that something in the ads/flash was recently changed as they had not been an issue for a long time as they had not been causing any slowdown. It had been in unblock mode for for over 2 years without this new issue so like I said I can only assume something very recently changed.

    I can't seem to make a new thread at all, the forum just times out in all browsers. But it seems I was able to post this fine.
