Post Why do I keep having this problem?
OK, so this happened to me before a while back, but it stopped doing it so I never had a problem again until now.

Every time I click on the Board Index, a little message saying "waiting for pagead2.googlesyndication.com" appears at the bottom of my Firefox toolbar (like where it says "Done") normally and the page always takes about a minute to load.

Is there a reason for this? It's irritating.

Sounds like, for whatever reason, you're having to wait to connect to the google server to get the google ads. If you use firefox, I would try blocking the ads via a plugin.

That happens to me at times too (I know it does to a few others to), but doesn't really cause any problems for me.

Bigger problem at hand, Eagle is green?? :er: :P

You can go here to get Mozilla:

http://www.mozilla.org/download.html


For ad block, I believe installing this will work, but maybe someone who uses it can give more advice as to what add on you use:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1865

That add-on worked perfectly! Thanks so much!
