I'm still on dial-up...and I've gotten used to being slower than most while waiting for pages to open, etc. But...lately (seems to coincide with the new smilies...but it could be a coincidence) when I click on a thread to open it, it takes 30 seconds or more to open (which is a long time when you are just sitting and staring at your screen). I've gone to the potty or gone for coffee or whatever, and come back and the page is just opening! I'm slower now when posting a reply too. I click "submit quick reply" or whatever reply page I am on and that takes longer as well.

Is it my puter? I clear my cookies each time I leave. I've defragmented on a regular basis. I'm pretty diligent in keeping this thing clean. What do ya spose could be happening?
