Default banner

I know im not the only one that thinks the mandatory wait time to read the banner sucks. I hate coming to this site and every other IB site and waiting 20-30 secs before being able to do anything , i dont care to read the banners, and i think its stupid for them to put in a time you have to read that banner before the page will load. Banners fine but dont make me read them. Before someone starts tripping about how they cant do that or dont do that, i dont want to here any of that , i would just like other people to sound off on this and make there voice heard.

Use firefox and get the ad block plus add-on. you never have to see an ad again if you don't want to.

Are you sure it's not just slow loading the pages on your end?

For sure it is.

Get yourself a high speed internet connection.
LS1Tech loads almost instantaneously for me. There is
no wait time and there is no requirement to view banners
prior to searching, posting, scrolling, etc.

Thanks for the rant though.

Depending on where(and how) they call the scripts to load the banners, if you are on a slow internet connection, you might have to wait until they are done loading for the other elements to load. For the rest of us on high speed internet, it's not an issue.

Get rid of the 56k and you'll be fine....

I thought maybe it would be a hit so I could get away with it .

It's not a shot at termies in general, just a local guy here with those plates.

I resized it for you. I hope you don't mind. It's either that or one
of the guys will delete it for you.

Hey...it's his fault for being in your rear view mirror. Too slow = posterized
