Testing Banner Ads - it's not a bug, it's me screwing things up

The Facebook Like button (Like: Be the first of your friends to like this.) appearing on each thread page below the Thread Title is slowing things down.

Well let's see if that fixes things

Bam! Gone now! Thanks...

I meant if that speeds up page loading.

I meant if that speeds up page loading.

Yes. At least for me.

However, just in this "Tech Support, General Q&A, Site Feedback & More" forum when I go to view a thread page there are two additional ad lookups although nothing displays:

Not for me, page-loading has been worse than ever this evening

Very slow for me this morning, but not every time. I'd say 2 or 3 out of 5 page loads, it just hangs for about 25-30 seconds, then loads fairly quickly.

Much better! Thank you.

You might need to give your PC a warm bath with Lavender oil so it can relax.

Hopefully not too soon, but I think I can say... thanks Spark. Website seems mostly normal again. ;]

Sorry Charlie, only just seen this

It's taken a lot of self-restraint not to set about my PC with a large hammer!

I've also encountered noticeable delayed page loads at times and definitely did not before the ad banners restarted on BF in early January.

There are two additional scripts running on each page now although they don't display anything:

• Quantserve (demographic and traffic stats)
• Doubleclick (ad technology)
