Is anyone else having this problem - I load the left columns of the pages instantly fine, but then it stalls for a long time while trying to load the ads in the bottom left corner before it gives up and then loads the central material. It's impossible to play this game with load times of 1 minute. With IE the problem goes away somewhat, but instead it locks up for period of 1 minute entirely. QW is the ONLY place I have this issue, no other sites, and I have no evidence of spyware, malware, viruses, or 12ag's mom causing interference. I think this is an issue with the ad hosting service for QW, but I want to verify it. If anyone else has had this issue in the last week or so, please speak up!

Ok, I solved the issue, but I did prove my suspicions correct. I had to do the following steps:
a) Get the ad-block plugin for FF
b) Set it to block 2 sites: (* = wildcard)
*.google-analytics.com and *.googlesyndication.com
This cleared up the problem. However, this is ridiculous and I'm going to try to talk to Admin about it if possible. Adverting should not be disruptive to the gameplay aside from its affects on us with ADD
I suggest leaving this here (to mods) in case someone else has the same issue. Also Forum NEEDS to know about this.
