	What do you do while waiting for Apolyton pages to load? Support Apolyton, buy Alpha Centauri

I have gotten used to dealing with the fact that it takes a while to load these pages. especially when a thread starts getting full. or also when waitng for the reply screen to appear. it takes 30 - 60 seconds for some threads to load, and if I scroll down during loading, it won't load the whole page, so I've got to do something else.

Usually, I have a game of civ in the background...

Hmmmm... while it was a problem a ways back, I haven't had any problems for a while now. The few times it has loaded slow, I knew it was a network problem, and not Apolyton's fault. average page load for me is around a second... but I have a T1 at work and a cable modem at home

Indeed...occasionally I experience some slowness...usually in the evening...but it's OK...the PLT is usually still under 10 seconds...

Actually, since I usually have many Apolyton windows open, what I do when waiting for Apolyton to load is to... read Apolyton.

Looks like a lot of people either have a high speed connection at home or visit from work, with a high speed connection. Or both (I'm envious, Ming).

some of us have to deal with a 56k modem, and do other stuff, ecept for stefu's unique solution. I'm going to have to try that!

You've never before?

A month and a half ago (or so) when it was really bad, even the connection at my university (hyper-fast, with very few users in summertime) was taking a minute to open a thread. I usually had 5-6 windows going at once.

I like to keep other web browser windows open while browsing Apolyton, but sometimes the machine hicoughs while loading Apolyton and then scrolling on the other window can cause problems.

Technically, I have a 56k modem, but it rarely is any faster than 24k. 70 - 100 seconds. Curse you all!

Yeah, I'm glad I moved off to college (too bad, Capitan G ). It's good to be off of that crappy dial-up connection you've got and on to this high speed network.

I like to whine. When that gets boring, I usually start reading a good book, play Civ II or chit-chat on AIM.

according to the meter, it took 155 seconds to load the thread, and 24 second to load the reply screen.

I also ran into the scrolling problem while having 2 apolyton pages open. I guess it's back to playing civ for me

Geez, I used to complain to have a slow connection.
Using light and two windows is just OK.
Also usually I have my ICQ open - just to have with who to talk
