Hi.

Thanks for making me feel welcome.

Metalstorm, I’ve been on the rockabillybass.com site and while I’ve only been lurking, it also looks like an interesting and educating site.

Regards

if your not sure how just go to start – run – type in cmd and then in the dos window type in “tracert https://www.artofslapbass.com”

see what it shows for the times, for me im getting 84ms right now which isnt too bad.

See what you are getting for that, if that is fine then can throw you some other stuff that could be an issue.[/quote]

I got figures ranging from 1600 ms up to 2400 ms, mostly towards the 2000 ms. I was planning to copy/paste the results but that damn window vanished :D.

Just to show how bad I’m at this geek stuff, I tried to do the same tracing for the forum: OF COURSE the syntax isn’t working.

Edit: Tried a few other sites as well. The tracert results were pretty much the same on the “faster loading” sites too.

Hi.

Thanks for the quick reply admin. Really appreciated.

I’m using XP Explorer 6.0 with Sp2.

This site along with photobucket are the worst, it sometimes takes minutes for the pages to load, and that my friend, pisses me off quite a bit ;).

I’m from the generation that used the net in the early 90’s so I do remember what it was to wait, wait, wait, but I thought that was history.

Should I try Firefox, everyone and their friends seem to rave about it?

Regards
Sam
