[Fusion1970]

First off, hello from a newbie. Some of you I already know of, and will hopefully become more familiar with others as well. I just found out about this website a couple days ago, and must say that I like it. It seems pretty relaxed and laid back, which is just how something yard-related should be.

BTW, I almost posted this below, but thought I would include it here...I am on a cable connection (RoadRunner), and this website is running really slow. It takes awhile to scroll down the page, and now, as I'm typing this, the letters aren't showing up for like 20 seconds after I type it. I'm sure it's my computer, but this is the only site that it's happening on. Is there something different I should be doing?

Thanks,
Greg

Hi Greg Bye

Great to have you here, I also crossed over from “The Dark Side” today.
I have a cable connection too and have been reading old threads here
all day. The site seems to be fine, the threads have been flying up.

Welcome, Fusion. Yes, quite relaxed here.

Have you been somewhere that was not relaxed?

How did you hear about this site?

1st...try shutting down your puter. Off-cold boot- and see if speed increases.

Greg,

Welcome!

It's probably not your internet connection. I brought up the posting window and completely severed my internet connection and could type just fine. You might want to clear your cache or try another browser if you have one installed.

Welcome!

Nice to see a ton of new faces. Come on in, and lets hear what you all have to say. Dig through the old threds,[there all here, no "droping off the end of the world" here]or start some new ones. Enjoy!!


As for load speed? Good info people have given you, and I can't add any more to that, so give it a shot.

Welcome

Welcome Greg:friends: glad to have you aboard if you have any question like how to post pictures or avatar's just ask. I have DSL but i never had a problem with pages loading like the rest said maybe try a cold reboot and see if that works or maybe there is just alot of people on line. I know my mother has cable and when alot of people are on line hers slows down not to the point your are saying but it still slows down.

Fusion1970, welcome to Tractor Forum! Great to have you aboard!
:friends: :cheers:

 

[Fusion1970]

Thanks for the welcome. I was going to reply to the "Who are you" thread, but it seems there is a 99 post limit? There were no provisions to reply.

Anyway, I will unfortunately probably need more help than I can offer. I am currently looking at LT's, and just trying to get through the cold weather...looking forward to spending some time in the yard.

Come on Spring!
Greg

fusion -- it really sounds as if your anti viral software may be slowing down your connection-- or you are straining the upper working limits of your pc ram supply- but I am not a pc expert - - i thought you had bought a LT already? welcome aboard-- I promise you that here I am a reasonably responsible person-- bigl22

Duc…

Thanks for the great links, they came just in time.:headclap:
The license on my current Anti Virus expires at the end of this month.

 

[Fusion1970]

Thanks guys. Ducati, I tried the one link for the anti-virus, but it said the serial # was not good. I will check a few of them out- I'm just going to have to work at it. The scrolling speed is quicker now, but it still is a pain to post. As I type, the letters do not show up; it's just a cursor that moves real slow, and none of the text shows up til the cursor has moved to the end of what I have typed. Again, I will figure it out somehow.

BigL22, yes, I put 10% down on a CC 1525, but Im gonna renig. Im simply not going to pay $1600 for a demo. My local dealer says he can find me a new one, so I think thats the route I will go. Anyway, things are looking up as it is supposed to be in the 40's or 50's for the duration of the extended forecast!

*EDIT* Everything is working great now. I tried several things, to no avail, then installed Netscape 7.0. That seemed to do the trick. I can now scroll up and down, and the letters actually appear as I type them! I guess it was the browser thing.

Thanks again guys...
Greg

Those serial numbers are still good, sometimes a copy paste captures extra charactors...enter it in manually and you should be good to go
