Does Anyone Else Have a Very Slow Connection to Audiogon?

I too get that 👆🏼👆🏼 too, slow to load and the ads cause the page to jump when I try to read it (iPad). I’ve been here since 2008, it’s never been this annoying. It’s definitely lost much of the Fun Factor.

Thanks Guys. Guess I'm better off that some. My VPN blocks pop ups. With all the confirmation of others concerning this issue, I have to wonder if Audiogon isn't trying to rid themselves of these forums by making the experience unbearable? IMO & IME Audiogon has never. been interested in promoting a good community atmosphere for the audiophile community I've been here since 2000 or 2001 and good community only happenned here in spite of the Agon leadership, NOT because of it. 

My connection has occasionally been slow but my main problems have been my Anti-virus freaking out with some of their adds and sometimes when click on things in the forums it occasionally takes me to an advertisers web page for no reason even when I'm sure I didn't click on that. Not too sure if their IT guy knows what he's doing.

That was happening for a short while earlier this morning for me, but it straightened itself out after about 10 minutes. 

The ads make the page jump around every two seconds, so I constantly have to relocate what I’m reading! The pop-up ads cover half of the screen. Then writing in the little box is an exercise in futility because the words are hidden at both margins!

The other issue I have with Agon is the writing of most subscribers is terrible. People don’t capitalize, punctuate, use spaces, or follow any grammar at all. Some people capitalize excessively, thinking that they have added their personal creative flair! It’s a complete waste of time to be constantly frustrated. So, I do sudoku puzzles instead. Sudoku obeys logic!
