Default Why is the site still slow?

When I click on a topic, it takes 30 seconds to one minute for the thread to pull up. WTF? None of the other sites I visit are like this. The site acts the same from work (T1) as from home (DSL).

It could be better, but its an improvement over the previous software.

VERY SLOW for me also. I thought it was because I have dial-up. Didn't know folks with faster connections were slow too.

It's real quick for me. A hell of a lot quicker than the old software. I'm happy with it.

This is what I look at for 30 seconds at a time. Keep in mind NONE of the other numerous sites I visit are as slow as this one.
