scoutldr 509 Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 So my circa 2006 Gateway Win Vista laptop finally died and I've resorted back to my more modern desktop running Win 10. Trying to use scouter.com is very painful now...literally 30 seconds with each mouse click while all the ads load. Video ads embedded in individual posts??? Is that what we are doing now? The little bar at the lower left corner always says "Waiting for www.scouter.com".... Am I doing something wrong? This is unusable in its current state. I would pay a nominal fee if there was a premium ad-free version. I hate to complain, because I do appreciate the efforts of @ScouterTerry over these past many years. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
MikeS72 250 Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 The lack of speed seems to be new today. I have had no issues reading or posting lately, including yesterday. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
RememberSchiff 2570 Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 (edited) No we appreciate the reports. Thanks. We too noticed the slow performance yesterday. Terry is working the problem... @MattR@John-in-KC Edited March 25 by RememberSchiff 1 Link to post Share on other sites
The Latin Scot 918 Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 I had noticed the very same thing; it took me five minutes to get logged on this morning. It seems to be working much better now though already. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
qwazse 3560 Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 The “ad drag” I insufferable. I’ll be back when things are rendered quickly. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
eagle90 110 Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 It is taking about 45 seconds or so to load the program and then 30-45 seconds between pages. Very frustrating. Dale Link to post Share on other sites
5thGenTexan 251 Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Yep. Still slow here too. Link to post Share on other sites
scoutldr 509 Posted March 30 Author Share Posted March 30 Just got my brand new Dell fired up...logging into Scouter.com generates a popup ad that WILL NOT go away...very annoying. Link to post Share on other sites
SSScout 1315 Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Ditto the above. Slow to load, ads do not release when "close" or "x" or "No Thanks" clicked for 30 or more seconds. AND I have to wind the spring on the back of my laptop more often..... 1 Link to post Share on other sites
