    Advertisements underlined. I wonder if all that is making it slow?

    odd, I have not had that problem. This probably has nothing to do with it or maybe it does, but i run mozilla firefox as my internet browser, and not internet explorer. Mozilla is a much more secure browser, and I NEVER get pop-up adds or anything, i highly reccomend it.

    Do you have to buy firefox or can you download it. When I opened this page all the key words in our sigs were now hyperlinks to ads too.

    haha, Im running firefox as I stated, and im not even seeing these underlined advertisments. You might want to run ad-aware SE as well, it sounds like you might be infected with some spyware.

    I did notice a blocked pop up ad, so something must be up with the site. If you've had problems with the site, you probably should run ad-aware because you might have got infected just by viewing stangnet.

    yes, it's quite horrible, i run firefox and have never had latency problems on this site, but im getting things like transferring from te.kontera.com where all these ads load. It's horrible and it's really lagging this site down.

    i use internet explorer, but with microsoft antispyware. It gets rid of all those annoying underlines, and all addware and spyware. its pretty good and is better then all the other spyware programs, and can be had for FREE from the microsoft site

    All of the underlines are annoying and perhaps are the reason it takes forever to load a page now.
