Ha! I was just going to find a post where I could ask about this, and whine about it, too. I thought it was my ISP being woggy, or because of all the pics in some posts. However, nothing else I am using was loading that way.
It seems that when more than 20 people are on here at a time--members or not--it slows to a crawl for posting and viewing text, as well as pics. Makes no difference how big (or small) the post you are trying to read is, either.
