Default Site Issues???

Anybody else have to refresh pages frequently to get them to load completely? I click on something, it loads most of the header of the page but not the content. If I click refresh, it loads right up.

I thought it was my computer, but it happens on all computers I use. I've been noticing this for a few months.

If you are using IE as a browser, this is the problem. I switched to Firefox, no problems now. There is a thread about this here somewhere.

The majority of page load issues are 3rd-party referrals by adservers in the background. I'm running Firefox with ad-blocker-plus and have no such issues.

Been having the same problem off/on last few months. Old PC was running IE and would freeze up. So switched to Firefox. Was ok at 1st, then started the same. Now have a Mac running Safari. Still freezes up. Only does this on OSO. But then every issue I've ever had has always been while on OSO.


ON the plus side, all those annoying side bar and header ads load right up without failure!

Yep. Every computer I use with IE it is ridiculous. There has not been any issues whatsoever when using Firefox.

I also had these same issues, switched to Firefox after reading what others were using and all is good.

I wish I would have started using this a long time ago
