Default Still having trouble with this website!!

It still takes me about ten tries to get a page to open up here on KF. More often than not I get the "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" notice. I did see the thread shortly after Cristmas talking about havng trouble logging on and posting, and I see Deej has a sticky at the top for new members having trouble posting. Looking at all the new threads,and replies, it looks like the site might be working OK for most of you? I'm just trying to find out if I'm the only one having trouble?
Chime in either way working or not working.
Is it just me, do I smell funny or something?
Dan

I was having issues with this format as well for awhile until I redid the explorer and also switched to mozilla to try that out. After that, it was better for me at least. Good luck

Too many adds.
Your browser may need updating or something like that. I use Opera and this site sucks on Opera. The pages never fully load. I have to hit the stop button to change to another page.

Had trouble with site since I joined. The page will start to load then hang, if you wait it out it takes a long time. My work around: when it hangs I highlight the address bar then hit enter, the page loads right up. Both firefox and explorer, same thing.

On other sites I've had the same trouble with I've been able to identify component that it's waiting to load, usually a tracking site (google, double click etc). Then manually block them to fix it. This site seem to hang right on the kawasakiforums part of the upload, can't block that.

Thanks for the replies and ideas. I just updated the Internet explorer 6 mo ago, am running windows xp, and am connected via DSL. The site has worked flawlessly for me in all the time I have been registered here. I came back from a trip over the Christmas break and it's total crap now. Maybe the webmasters changed something at the first of the year? On the bright side, I do waste a lot less time in fron of the computer now, and I have actually gotten things done around the house.
