Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I'm not a premium member, and I have no issues with the site.

Running a 3 year old laptop on Win7

Not running any adblockers, either.

No problems with loading the pages, but it does slow my brain down substantially.

Does this forum make your computer freeze up?


Yep ... and has done for a couple years now. I've mentioned it several times, but it seems that nothing can be done to fix the problem. I've been told it has something to do with servers in Asia.

My computer no, my brain yes?

Seriously, no it doesn't. Seems to work like any other forum on my Win 7 machine. I also browse a fair amount on my Infuse Android phone and it works fine on it as well.

Place computer in the over at 250 degrees for 30 minutes. Will properly thaw frozen computer. Using a higher temperature might be dangerous.
