I have noticed that when I go to places Index it takes quite a while before I can get the cursor to move,it just freezes up for maybe up to 30/35 seconds, once a place has been selected and that page opens all is fine , any other website I visit , the forum etc I don't have any problems, was wondering if it's all the moving and scrolling adds slowing things down ,Is anyone else experiencing this problem.

It might be the wireless Connection , ...maybe, I feel sure that ADSL or Cable would have no problems, took about 16 seconds now, funny though it only occurs on Places index, I'll do some fiddleing about with some settings,

STOP don't touch a thing Doug!

It's probably only your mind freezing up due to old age

Get hold of a car with Spark plugs and start it up then put your fingers across the plugs, this might boot you back into gear :-)))))

That QLD place plays tricks on older minds.

Hope that helps.

Hi Doug

Same problem with me, happens all the time to the extent that I stopped using that tab out of frustration.....

We are connected via a satellite dish which I notice is a lot slower "broadband" than the townies fixed line connection....but that has nothing to do with it as eveything else is our normal speed

Doug

If you do find that it is an issue with your computer settings I would apreciate it if you let me know....might be the same issue I have...then maybe I might use places again

I am reasonably computer literate but there are times I feel more like using a large brick as a fix it tool !

cheers

DougT, it looks and smells like EI (Equine Influenza)

It is EO (Everyone Offluenza) it is a new strain on humans and computers, firstly it is caught by computers and passed on to humans by touching the key boards.

Cure is to keep right away from key boards for 12mths, notify everyone you know and tell them the cure.

Don't touch your GPS as you can infect it by touching the keys, disinfect every thing that has a key, even your truck / house and letter box.

Hope you find a cure :-())))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

Doug,

Just back to the ofice after a work trip to Brisbane and I noticed it yesterday doing a demo. The problem will be related to adding the baloons of the updated places to the map at the bottom. I am not sure why and will investgate. I have only seen it once however I will at least be able to make some mods to get around it. I may make the loading of updated places a button on the map so you need to push it to bring up the updated list. This will at least have the effect of making the page load without the extra request to get the update locations. I will add this today.

OK thanks, I thought I would bring it to your attention as you request members to do, Probably on ADSL and Cable high speed connections it may not be such an issue as it can be with Bigpond wireless, It will be interesting to see what difference your Mods make.
