I'm on Time Warner here and the site runs slowly on and off. Does it in Firefox, IE7, and K-meleon so I don't believe it is browser related.

Just as slow with FireFox. I'm guessing it's the time it takes the moderators to read the posts and apply their censorship.

I haven't seen it be a problem speed wise but everytime I come to this site it says that I'm logged out unless I click on the search tab or a tab and then it will change to logged in and work fine from there. If I click login without doing that even after typing in my password and stuff it doesn't say I'm logged in until I go to one of the other tabs then click back on the forums. Whats the deal?
Does your address bar display www.dodgeforum.com... or just dodgeforum.com...
That's the reason, if it says, www.dodgeforum.com, you'll be logged in...
Happens to me all the time...

I did alot of tests. Going to other sites using the same software, some using the same servers. I used different ISPs in different parts of the country on my side (I travel alot, hotels, work, aircard, home).
I found the same issues on other sites using the same software. By software I am not referring to my PC, I am referring to the software the forum uses. I also found the same issue on different ISPs, even on different PCs (home PC and work laptop).
The problem
The site has "frames". The top frame consists of the DF banner at the top and goes all the way down to the black line all the way across the screne. The top frame would load fast. The frame below that with the data in it (the forums) would lag. This is the issue that I think most of you refer to. Other issues would be opening posts or posting lag, once again this is when you are accessing or writing data.
The solution
1. Make sure you are running a good Anti-Virus that updates every DAY! Anti-Virus is no good unless it is updated daily.
2. Make sure you have NO spyware/adware. See the Computer tech help section down at the bottom of the site near Off Topic. http://www.dodgeforum.com/forumid_173/tt.htm http://www.dodgeforum.com/m_549478/tm.htm
3. Load the latest version of Firefox. http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/
These three steps proved to solve my speed issue of the data frame opening and the lag when trying to open and making posts on my work and home PC and over different ISPs.

Let me add one thing.
If you've had either IE or Firefox for a while and surfed the web a bunch, I suggest a fresh install.
If you prefer to use Firefox, uninstall it and wipe it from your system.
Then load IE and and download Adaware, Spybot, or some other such program. Sometimes 2 programs are better than one. I've had Adaware miss things that Spybot caught and vice versa. After you update and run both, reinstall Firefox or IE and it should work much better.
I have been told that a good defragmentation does the same thing, but I disagree.

Was this intended to be some sort of joke?
