Same here. It didn't work at all and now I have something in my computer that could be harmful. Great! I'm going to get off of here now and hopefully the next time I log on, this stuff will be gone!

maybe we can complain to Admin. about it.....I know they need the advertising, but they don't want to lose donating members, either!!!

I couldn't figure out what was happening - I think I finally noticed that this "mpire" thing at the top has to re-load EVERY time I click to ANY other page, it is so time consuming. It causes terrible "drag" for the member.

I understand a need for advertising, I truly do - but this goes beyond most site's advertising (in my experience) when it starts to interfere w/ the ability to navigate the site.

Part of the reason I donate here is to hopefully help in keeping the advertising at an "acceptable" level - and I personally don't find this one acceptable bc it interferes with the very nature of clicking around the board.

Is it just my computer or something? I'm sorry for complaining, but I love it here - but I am not loving it here lately with the mpire stuff....at all.

Sorry if it's just me....

I totally agree with you. You have to wait until the MPire completely loads up before you can get anywhere. VERY frustrating and very time consuming!

BUT....I think it takes longer with this on than dealing with the ad.....this will say "transferring www.yorkietalk.com" and "waiting for www.yorkietalk.com" and the avatars won't show, etc...until it is finished. AURGH!!!

NOW WHAT????

Should I try the other one that is listed??? ((aurgh))

Well, I downloaded it...hopefully it helps!

Yorkiekids · 10-10-2007, 03:36 PM

I deleted it, and now it's running a lot better. The only thing is that now I'm having trouble viewing videos.

Mybabyboymax · 10-10-2007, 04:40 PM

Guess I spoke to soon...its just as slow as before...this sucks.
Oh well...what can you do? I have tried to do all that was suggested and had no luck. Its a hassle to get on YT and navigate through the site I guess Im just putting YT on hold for a while :-( hopefully the problem gets resolved

crystalsmom · 10-10-2007, 04:51 PM

NO No No don't leave, here is the link to uninstall it. If you have windows xp it will put it back on when you sign off for the night. You start out with it installed in the morning and I leave it on until night when it is even slower and uninstall. It doesn't take long at all. You can't get videos but you can at any time you have it installed. I book mark this page when it comes up so I have it handy.

do you have dial-up or modem internet?

just wondering if that has something to do with it being slow???

windsor'smom · 10-11-2007, 03:40 AM

I have cable internet service. The problem is the ad has to reload every time you look at a new page....... and it's verrrrrrrry slow. I've uninstalled Flash and it is working fast again. Guess if I want to view video or something I'll use my Laptop.

You only need to donate once (for the life of your membership). If you leave you don't get your money back.

So YT wouldn't be losing donating members. So DON'T leave!

windsor'smom · 10-11-2007, 09:02 AM

Is mpire gone!!!! I've got shopzilla up there now. yeah!

Jenn218 · 10-11-2007, 11:21 AM

I think it's gone too!!! Hip Hip Horray!!!! THANKS ADMIN!!!

I was getting ready to complain about whatever I downloaded the other day....it won't let me have more than one internet window open at the same time!!! What is up with that?? Anyway, I am deleting it off my computer now!!!

crystalsmom · 10-11-2007, 11:34 AM

But some people do donate more than once. So potentially they could lose some money. Not necessarily, but it could happen
