Is Net54 Running Slow?

I'm going to take a wild stab at it and guess it has something to do with the new "Net54Baseball's Pre-War Cards By Issue/Seller/Grade/Price" toolbar at the top. It's taking that long for that portion of the page to load.

Even though you are most likely incorrect you helped a lot. That message you got is the effing Chat room hosting company. We are still having major issues with that. We have been in constant emails with them and I don't think they even understand English at all. It is very taxing. We haven't scrapped it because we don't have the tech support, at the moment, to go to another whole different solution. With that message there is a great chance that is the problem, though I am not positive. I do know that 123flashchat is the chat room folks. They are bona fide idiots.

In the lower left corner of my screen I often get an error message while I am waiting for it to connect.

It has to do with the chat thing at the top imo, it loads up to "user cp" then hangs, like it is trying to determine how many members are in chat.

I'm back to normal now it seems!

And right at this minute my system seems to be running very quickly and not hanging up. I am back to it being Gore's fault.

I blame the Carterscards thread.

Do you mean Al "Piano Legs" Gore?

Mine is still hesitating periodically. It comes and goes.

I spoke to Al this morning and he assured me that it wasn't him this time.

He told me that he has it on reliable sources that it is an effect of Gadhafi shutting down the internet to help him maintain control.
