When I have been typing replies to threads lately, I have been noticing a slow down as I type tothe point that I can type and the cursor sits doing nothing and then suddenly my words appear.

I noticed just now that there was some stupid advertisment for Voice XML (or something like that) running in the side bar to the right =====>.

Every time the animation in it began, my typing stopped.

I right clicked on it so I could post the link and it is some MacroMedia flash thing.

So, whilst I understand that advertising pays for this board, I thnk that it is a load of bollocks if it is detrimental to it's operational speed.

The add I had during this post was for Datamation and it wasn't MacroMedia based and I typed plenty fast.
