VERY VERY VERY slow. Frustratingly slow.

I hope it gets solved before any other gerbils die, before Stu Dudley gives up, and before the cyber gods realize that they need to follow through on whatever they threatened.

How can the people at Fodor's not know about this? It has to hurt business.

Are you editors reading this thread? How about an explanation of why you are still using dial-up technology?

Thought it was my computer which is getting old. At least I'm not alone.

ironically, this thread loaded very quickly.

I'll see how long it takes once I press the submit button in a minute.

It's very slow, even on FIOS, and the graphic design is a mess. I've never seen such an awkward, unattractive mix of font styles. Looks like the art department has no taste and the IT department limited code acumen. Those of us who have been here a few years are familiar with this road trip.

I finally figured out that clicking twice speeds things up, at least for a while. In general the site is way too slow, especially for doing posts.

I just clicked on "change forum," and there was a line at the bottom that read "waiting for ad."

Q.E.D.

The best option is to close the current tab and open a new one

I wish! My last post a few minutes ago took 50 seconds to load. Thanks to Nukesafe for highlighting this, I wonder what on Earth is going on.

I don't really think it is the ads, as my screen shows none. Perhaps it is my popup blocker that is taking all the time, as my machine fights the Fodor's advertizing people. I have ads blocked on TA, as well, but those pages load in a flash.

Hint, hint, Fodor's site design people. Check out how the grownups do it.
