running windows xp.

That is probably your problem, my machines, which run OS X, have no such issues.

some our threads here access lots of different servers calling in items and images folks post up from all over the place. If ones down or slow it might lag.

[ken21]

low speed!

dial up.

[arasina]

If you are attempting to post on a page where others have inserted images that are relatively large kb, it may take some time to load them. That's what the references to 'loading from' are. It's not a computer problem on your end and they are not pop-ups.

oh and.... I really dont think what brand of operating system someone thinks is cooler than yours is the problem :o)

[ken21]

i see.

that's the logical solution.

thanks.

[Tijeras_Slim]

Apparently your shift key is busted too.

[holymoly]

Are you posting to a thread to which others have posted images, etc?

Tinypic.com is a free image host, which I and many others use at FR.

[ken21]

gotcha.

thanks.

[ken21]

i understand now.

[Griptilian]

Oh yes, OS X is perfect.
I pray to OS X, I worship OS X.
There will never be another operating system after OS X.

Oh please, lay off the kool-aid.
