    I removed the small 468 x 60 banner ad from the site's header. It was causing problems and slowing the site down when it had trouble loading the ads. Hopefully people notice a speed difference on the site now.

    Good to hear. I just hope people don't forget to click on the ads on the site's footer. Remember people, it helps the site!

    Ok cool, I did make one more change and took out some code from the header that might have also been causing a lag. I also added a modification that gets rid of the site getting hung up when a cron job is working behind the scenes.

    We have cable for about 60 bucks a month but if you do a lot of up and downloads you really need cable.

    $60 a month :icon_eek: It's less than the half here

    I pay about $40 for it here, I use to have to pay 50, but I guess for being a customer for awhile they dropped it, hopefully it keeps up.
