Yes, I am using Firefox right now and it is still noticeably better than IE. There is a bit of a delay, but not the half a minute-minute delay.

I use IE and HCW recently started requiring and ActiveX control to be installed. I installed it and this caused the slowdown. I am on dialup at home and it was so slow I could not even search through the boards to find a solution. I removed the ActiveX control that HCW site wants you to install and I no longer get the slow down. On each screen refresh it IE does warn me that the site wants ActiveX, but I ignore it and the page loads fine.

I'm glad you posted, OP, because I thought it was just me and my computer.

I am just now able to get the boards coming up for the 1st time in the past 36 hours. I always have been able to see the HCW logo and nothing else. I hope that these bugs are worked out soon. I miss HCW!

I'm still having problems with the computer at work...I can hardly do anything at HCW even tho' every other site on the www. works fine. When I went to check my PM's it would just boot me right out of HCW! The computer at work is REALLLLLLY old...and I mean like jurassic park!

I'm home for lunch and thought I'd check in.

I don't have a choice of browser. My screen loading delay is no 20-50 seconds; it's like five minutes later and threads can't be viewed. Is this going to get better or is this just the way it's going to be?

Ouch. Now that is really awful.

I've noticed a real slowdown now vs earlier. I don't know if it is server load or what. But it almost like something is trying to load on the site and just freezing everything up.

Um, we don't require an ActiveX to view the site. Can you send Mark some information about this cause we don't have anything like that. If you're downloading something like that to see the site, it's nothing that we have you use, so something's strange there and Mark would like to look at it if you can provide him some details or a screen shot. You can PM him here through the site.

Yesterday I had to download an Adobe-something update in order to view HCW.
I tried several times to avoid that.

lmcconne, have you done all the suggestions in the other thread, like log out, delete cookies on your computer, restart your computer and then log back in to see if there's any difference?
