Weirdest Vb Problem Ever

[cybertrash]

I have already consulted the vb programmers about this, they had no idea. the problem is that my forums are slow in firefox, but fast in internet explorer. www.dollwar.com/forums

any ideas??? thanks in advance!

Not slow for me in FF. Took 4 or 5 seconds.

Seems normal to me, could be your hosting company?

SUGGESTIONS:
- clean up your html
- optimize header images
- move external javascript on pages where they are actually used
- convert embedded or inline CSS to external CSS (option found under admincp/ vbulletin options)
- finally, if this continues--move hosting company

My suggestion:

And so on and so on ... until max. redirects is finally reached.

To see what I mean: http://www.dollwar.com/support/main.js

Then Firefox will also tell you what's wrong

there's another post that has the same problem .... errors/redirections ... I'm not sure where it is now but they were wondering why the site is "SLOW" ... information such as the above is good for those who understand but confusing to those who do not

more questions will follow

[cybertrash]

thanks for the sugguestions guys. i think andrea's sugguestion is right because the other part of my site is fine. just forums are slow. thanks!
