Re: Wednesday Open Thread (none / 0)

well its not so much slow, more theres a pause, which if its long enough, could be causing things to time out. I get a similar delay with IE8, the initial DNS connection and handshaking happen, then nothing. after that the page actually turns up 10-12 seconds later (if our problems are actually similar)

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

Corresponds to mine. Firefox gives me a "Waiting for eurotrib.com" message during the pause.

Re: Wednesday Open Thread (none / 0)

For an hour or two before your comment I had 10-15 second pauses before ET came back on any command, e.g.: preview, post, click on a comment I wish to view on "My comments" etc. Connection to ET was not so much a problem, or I didn't notice/wasn't bothered. I run XP and, as of this AM Firefox .17? (latest & greatest and it didn't even ask, just updated and informed.)

As the Dutch said while fighting the Spanish: "It is not necessary to have hope in order to persevere."

Go to Tools->Options->Advanced->Updates and change the setting from Automatically update to Ask me what I want to do.

If you want to know the version number, Help->About Mozilla Firefox.

It shows Firefox 3.0.17 "Firefox for Google Packs" ?!
I had Firefox 3.5.15? before and they used to ask.
