Ellie May, Thanks for the suggestion but I didn't have the stop sign. I finally went in and unistalled flash from my computer. Seems to be ok now. This has been horrible! I thought my computer had completely crashed at one point. I kept trying to find an ad blocker and downloaded several but none worked on that ad, blocked others but not that one. I'd almost come to terms that I wouldn't be able to visit on YT anymore. Surely we could sell space to another ad company that didn't effect the site in this manner??? Or maybe we need another "Donation Drive". I love this site and would hate to lose access to it, but that ad problem almost put me there.

Sadie's mom, Post 17 has a link click on that, then scroll down until you see Internet explorer, there are links to help you.

I was wondering why it got so dang slow for me just today or yesterday! GRRR This really is frustrating. I am a "high-speed clicker" as I call myself, and I click on and off stuff very fast, and this is just super frustrating for me!!!!!!!!!!! Please, admin, help!! And I can't delete flash because I need it for other things, and I'm not willing to do that.

I just didn't want to completely uninstall Flash because there are times when it is functional and I want it (certain sites)...I hate this!!! Surely admin can find some other kind of ad to use & get rid of this one! I mean, if everyone is having this kind of problem & is making it where that ad doesn't pop up anyway, is it really doing them any good?

Ellie May · 10-10-2007, 05:27 AM

This morning I came on and it was slow again. Something was trying to come up so I went to disable it. It was Widget Bucks again. THey are sneaky.

I agree with you! I'm not deleting flash because there are MANY MANY times when I want it. I really do think this is craziness, and if it doesn't stop I definitely won't be on as much (yes, I'm still addicted) but it takes too dang long!!! I am not a patient person

install and uninstall only takes a few seconds so I am keeping it uninstalled until I need it and install. I have only needed it once for a forward email with a game and I didn't care to look at it anyway. Many of you may have alot more uses maybe for flash player than I do.

I really like being on YT and most times I have quite a bit of patience but this has slowed it down so much and I have cable, I just can't imagine what dial up users are going through.

This site has grown so much that the work has to be gigantic and the cost involved to run it too.....don't know what the answer is but I'm happy with my uninstall while I am on YT.

I installed AB block and I am not having any problems

crystalsmom · 10-10-2007, 07:45 AM

I installed my flash player again to see something. My days on yt were not slow and right now mpire is loading really fast. Nights are much different and I thought it had something to do with the # of people on and maybe that is the case because nights give me the problem. Is that the same with anyone else??? I can deal with days having flash player and there are lots of good buys on that ad but nights I will uninstall.

chachi, can you take the block off easily?? Glad it's working for you.
