Everything's been slow this week, ironically this board more than most!!! I see they changed the log-in page now!

I suspect it has something to do with the new randomized popups here.

I haven't been to the entertainment channel. I only go to certain sites like computers or health related sites.
What's on the entertainment channel? Anything worth checking out?

Well, the new login page is a pain, but it loads o.k. Why can't you just click "log out" and then log in again, without changing everything? I have done that when I use a different screen name, without any issues... [I see you said you could do so another day, so maybe it was just a glitch that day -- iVillage is full of these "random" glitches that come and go like "ghosts in the machine," LOL!). Loading of pages has been incredibly slow recently, most particularly the new login page, and the inclusion of new posts takes clicking several browser renews of the page before they shows up, but that's an ongoing issue with this web site because it so advertisement intensive with blinky everything (Blecch!) and all the fancy stuff members can use if they buy the extra package. All that stuff slows down loading of a web page for sure...

Pop-ups? I'm not getting any, but maybe that slows it down with the blocker in use? Just another way to aggravate us, LOL! :D

Well if you like that kind of stuff. It is like Entertainment Tonight on tv. I never watch that because I am not interested in what "famous" people do. http://entertainment.ivillage.com?nlcid=c|496,17779

Seems like everytime they change something they don't have the bugs worked out first so for a couple days I couldn't log in with my hat on without clearing my cookies. They seemed to have worked it out now.


When iVillage first started it was mostly just message boards with messages. When they changed and went with the Prospero software it did slow down. Getting in here is very slow. I too thought it was all the graphics but I go to other places that use this same software and they are much faster. No where else that I surf is like coming here sometimes I can go heat my coffee in the microwave it takes that long to get in. No idea why.


But just when the change started to calm down they give us this http://entertainment.ivillage.com?nlcid=c|496,17779

I've been around here since '98 and this site has become so inflated it's as slow as molasses in winter, LOL! I don't access anything on this site except the boards I visit. The rest I don't bother with at all. I, too, go to other sites that have boards where you can insert graphics, avatars, color and choose your fonts, etc., for FREE, regardless of browser or OS system you have, and they load quickly. Whatever they use to run this site is cumbersome. I think they "grew like topsy" and add all the advertising running to keep this sit afloat and free, for the most part, so now they're overblown. Sometimes when I had dialup I would shut down Javascript, turn off people's signatures here and set my browser to show only my chosen font. That got rid of banner ads and all the extra stuff and pages loaded much faster. If if gets too bad even on DSL, I'll do that again, LOL! :P Gypsy
