The slowness has pretty much gone away and NO I didnt need a defrag. Something happened when they changed over. It should not take 5-8 minutes to load on very high speed cable or DSL.
As far as the ads, I dont mind them as long as they are appropriate. But there are more of them.

I for one am very thankful that Admin took an unbelieveable amount of time to create this unprecedented board for quilters. Personally I know of no where else on the internet that provides all this board offers free or even with a fee. The accumulated years of knowledge of the members is extraordinary and their willingness to share and help others is beyond comparison.
We all should be thankful for what this amazing board has given to us in more ways than just our shared love of quilting.

The ads do not bother me as much as the time it takes to download each ad and then each picture.I do so love sitting here each morning with my coffee but seriously doubt if I have the time to wait for all the beautiful pictures of these talented people to download.

I agree that this site is free and if there are ads - so be it. Also, I have clicked on some of the ads and found things I needed. I don't see a problem with the ads - until that are big enough that they overpower the content of the board.
