when i hit enter to post at fr there's a delay of 5-10 seconds. i look down at the lower left hand and it says:
connecting to free republic... transferring data from tinypic.com... transferring data from johntrapp.com... transferring data fromphotobucket.com... transferring data from homepage.mac.com...
none of those are my doings.
i have 6-month-old compaq, 64, running windows xp.
i have zone alarm which routinely notifies me of children coming and going into and out of the house.
i have ad-ware and use it weekly.
i have spybot and use it weekly.
they've eliminated a lot of stuff.
do i have problem?
thanks, ken

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.

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.

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.

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.
