It was slow this fine morning but has cleared up now. I blame my ISP.

Yea, the North Koreans were trying to figure out how to fix their tractor and took over the website !! Only place to get info is here. Whoops, after writing North Korea, now the NSA will be watching.

Try using Firefox browser with an extension called Ad Block Plus. That will improve your experience greatly.

That extension is also available for Chrome and Internet Explorer.

Ookla is a good way to test your ISP download and upload speed. Our cable company uses Ookla to test for speed issues at customer homes. Our cable service is currently getting overwhelmed by streaming in the evenings, which running Ookla confirms. Our download speed has varied from 10 mbps (what we subscribe for) down to 0.2 mbps (which we are not happy about :laughing during busy periods. They say they have some equipment upgrades planned--soon.

If an internet site is slow, you can test your current ISP speed, or compare TBN's speed by going to other sites to see if there is much difference. Adblock will definitely decrease page loading times.

TBN was very erratic for me yesterday morning and it looked like TBN itself was part of the problem.

Agreed! The best browser with the correct add ons makes all the difference in the world. Speedtest.net often shows us at close 40mbps if not a tad over.

Been here since the 90's use plenty of blocking software and don't have any problems. I only see one add on the right and that's FAR, FAR less than any other sites on the web

Member for awhile but have not used the site much. It does seem overloaded with annoying (animated) ads. I don't see any pics for postings where the poster indicated there are pics. Went to the 'contact us' button at the bottom of the page and that takes you to a screen with two options, Get Customer Support and Buy Advertising. Guess which link does not work!

Tried the HELP button at the bottom of the page and I get a 404 (Page Not Found) error and a redirect to some site called KAYAKO. I assume they 'maintain' the site but they want a login (not my tractorbynet login) to request any help. I am giving up but thought I would at least let someone know. I just wanted to see the pics for a posting that would have helped me.
