Ok, my laptop is ancient, it's completely obselete, & will be replaced in the next few days but why is it that STW makes the damn thing fall over EVERY TIME i first log into the site?????

The damn thing is slower than a slow thing on a go-slow but it's always STW that tips it over, other sites (even FB) don't do it.

Try a different browser?

Didn't think there was any Flash on here these days. All the ads show on my phone, there are no blank spaces that I can see, and Flash doesn't work on an iPhone, whereas this site runs fine, for the most part. Occasionally gets all petulant and slows down, but I think that's just t'web generally.

Could be the rich media ads to the right?

<fiddles with browser settings and reloads STW>

Still plenty of Flash ads on here, kills my laptop also.

It's slow here too and I can guarantee it's nothing to do with the ads. 😉

Singletrackworld used to kill my laptop fairy regularly, not so much since the new site. (6 year old laptop)
