Hopefully this is a glitch that will pass, but maybe not and someone more savey than I with computers will have a solution. Too often I click on a post and all I get is the darn animated advertizement. The post never materializes...or I don't wait long enough (the ad playing through twice is LONG ENOUGH.) And although I have high speed DSL, it is getting on my nerves waiting for the ad to play through before the posts appear. I can't imagine what people with regular phone lines are going through. I'm starting to spend more time at other garden web sites. Does anyone have a solution before I write off Garden Web?
