don't cringe....it's a pentium two, hp vectra running windows nt(this may be a stupid question) but it will not open a majority of threads on the forum...my options and pms are not an issue, a few threads are okay and will open as long as they are not more than a page full(sometimes)and i can reply just fine to those or make new threads, but there are some it won't open, it locks up after just a few posts loaded and windows just keeps turning(does not give a not responding error in task manager), and then prevents me from going to other threads...i have to completely close out of the forum re entering until again i select one of the threads(it varies) and then repeat the process...any ideas?

I had a pentium 166 and it ran DF just fine.

My work comp sucks in here too. Actually today i was trying to post stuff, and it would just remove what i had typed, haha. Oh well, i know its just cause the computer i was on was a peice of shit, i think it was like an AMD @ 300MHZ or something

well it's nice to know i'm not alone in this dilema...

Nope, you certainly are not .....actually i am on that peice of shite now, haha

Sounds more like a connection problem to me. Have you applied the "slow loading" patch (sticky in this forum)?

Otherwise, you could try and tweak your network a bit. I've had sites lock up because of wrong networking settings... I'll see if I can cook something up

well they have tried to block us from so many things on that network, like chats, mIRC etc...so i would not be suprised if that has something to do with it

they have a highly protected nt system!and i wouldn't want to get fired...i'd appreciate it.

i can't even get a real time chat program to load...

same here if its on any port under 7000, but they are stupid, cause that just means we connect on any port over 7000 hehe

It's your work computer? Can you download another browser? You might need an newer addition that excepts cookies. I think you can change your personal settings so cookies don't matter.

for me, its not worth it, i can only get on here on my lunch from work, and that is only 30 mins, so usually i just read anyways, i can wait till i get home and use my own lil baby to do posting
