FTE Loading Slow/Not at all ?

Remember Way Back When,,,,,, FTE was just a great Forum to read and Chat about FORD Trucks,,,,and NOT have all these DAMN ADD's on the pages,,,,Now they seem like pop-ups, and the pages Load slow or Not at all,,,every time within the last week or 2,, I click on FTE to check it out,,, all I get is the top Logo's ,,,and some add to the Left,,,then it seems I have to click refresh 1 or 2 times and then it may load the rest ! What the Hell ?

I'm having the same problem. I can't seem to get the search function to work right either. Ever since the last software upgrade it has been crapping out....

No problems here with loading, and the search function is working just fine.

I've been having a similar issue. I notice that it is worse with Firefox than with IE.

With that many posts, maybe you are just sucking all the website to the west coast and not leaving any for us east coast readers.

I think it has something to do with being a supporter. I have no problems. Money is short, times are tough. If you don't play to pay, how can they stay in business. Join up! Really meant pay to play...

Hey, Ki-Mo-Sa-Be...

Where is FTE (Internet Brands) located?

Tonto will tell you it's across the street from LAX in beautiful downtown El Segundo, CA.

btw: It's known as El SMELLgundo 'round here, because of all the oil refineries located there.

There's an old joke inre to a guy 'n gal and El Smellgundo...but I don't dare tell it here!

Isn't that what all the pop-up adds are for?

That helps.

If you tight-fisted easterners cough up 20 bucks a year, you won't see a single ad.

I don't have an issue with the ads. The forum just doesn't load.

I've been having the same problems lately with having to hit refresh a lot. And you're right, the search engine used to work a lot better than it does now.
