Is anyone else having this problem?

Nope, it's not your computer. This has been going on for awhile. I think the tremendous weight of the Religious site is the culprit.

I hear Pace is independently wealthy, so why not? He may give you the board as compensation.

Shirley U. Jest! Don't you know there's no such thing as a free lunch? What is free now, MS will eventually charge everyone a subscription fee of $7. per month down the road -- and for Spyware disguising itself as an OS to boot.
And when MS goes this route and eventually puts everyone on a monthly subscription plan regardless of the OS, that's when I go to Linux or Apple.

Doesn't look like it will affect most consumers

I'm still running Win 7, but am noticing more and more problems with websites locking up. It's getting to the point where I can't open too many tabs because one tab will eventually freeze up and I have to reboot the browser and re-navigate to all the tabs I had open.

Microsoft eventually wants Windows 10 to be like your cable set-top box -- recurring rental fee.

I suspect the lag is related to the adchoices advertisements. Advertisements now are much more than a simple picture - some have movies and who knows what info they try to suck from your computer..It has made loading on searching on eBay almost unbearable.

I have adblock plus so I don't see those ads and still have trouble with this site , mostly in the early morning hours when I try to log on after 5 A.M.

I used to read the news on yahoo, but that's also becoming hard to read. As I scroll down the page it will freeze up. Their news site stinks, so it's not a big deal.

CNN's website is pretty awful, too.

I turn off cookies for most sites. NY Times and Forbes require cookies to be turned on, so I don't read their sites.

Not initially. But trust me: This will be the new marketing strategy going forward. I suspect that with the plethora of small gadgets out there, and with no end of the growing popularity of "small" in site, there will be far fewer desktops and laptops out there for MS to put their OSs into. MS just has too much competition. The demand for full blown Windows OS will continue to decrease. In fact, leasing, renting or subscribing has already caught on in other sectors of the internet businesses. For example, at one time you could buy a Uverse modem outright for a relatively modest price. But no more. Uverse now only leases their modems. Guess for how much? Would you believe $7. per month? Being online is only going to get more expensive going forward. And what's ironic about that is that the connect speeds in the U.S. are appreciably slower than in Europe! So...you're going to pay more for the internet experience while enjoying it less.

When I retire I might get rid of everything except a house phone and snail mail. I might even buy a newspaper subscription. If people want to contact me they can call, visit, or send me a letter. I can live without the internet. Or go to the library when I really need to post something on Paceadvantage.

I am just guessing here but I'd say there are DNS issues somewhere - possibly close to the physical server's location.

Personally, I do not get slow page loads, but occasionally the page could not be reached error is shown. It has been better in the last few days.

Truth is I have never had a slow page load here at PA, but then again I am still running XP Pro and Chrome. The next level of flash and Chrome is a no no under XP, me thinks Y'all are are having the updating blues.
