Any suggestions on how I can load the pages faster???
thank you very much

For me opera works great, if you want my advice...
it's got Rss support, widgets, BitTorrent, IRC chat, tabs,
no Pop-ups integrated..
whatever....
im not advertising but really i used to use IE7, Firefox and stuff
but at the end it would always fucked up my internet and Comp as well errors and stuff like that.
So i found opera and it's been one year im using this and it works great !!!

This is a widget that i use to check the security holes on opera :

I think the site is down?

WTF!!

Yep, FTN has went down ..not for long though

EDIT: 2 mins later and its back up

Are you using the secure page?

Just use https:// and you should be good

Thank you all for your replies and offers of suggestion....Now comes my stupid follow-up questions.

Respecting the site rules on privacy of URL's, (and because I'm not yet using IRC on these channels) can you please pm me the links that you mention here. I probably know exactly what you mean by the *secure page* and the *https* link once I see what you mean by this, but for now I'm unsure what you are referencing.

Thank you very much!!!!

ps. Opera?? I've never heard of this browser. An interesting question for those sites that favour Firefox ie FSC and others, how would your pages load with the Opera browser, or do you prefer your members to stick to Firefox.

Thank you again!

Greetings,

Figured out the problem. I'm at work right now and noticed that the tech squad had already installed firefox on my computer, so I logged in with this browser instead.

Holy Moly!! It works like a charm. No problems whatsoever.

IE sucks eggs that's all I can say.

I can't close this thread, but I don't expect it to be a hot one!

Thanks to all who provided advise but problem fixed now!
