Useless information I

[piskieinboots]

Many have reported slowness of site/non-access/kicked-out etc issues with this site - myself included. When I did get access to Vine it would show a previous version of the page, once accessed it would refresh but be like wadding though porridge with a 50lb Bergen!

Stay with me here....

My usual browser is IE and in that I use iGoogle - for one reason or another I had to remove it a little while back.

Now, refreshed page each and every time, fast entry(!), speed of whizzing around the site - all is well with the world.

I still blame Ben

This useless bit of information may help someone

....and you think removing Google wouldn't be complex in itself???...I assumed that's what you got & that's what you kept!?
Althopugh I've not been logged out in the cold tonight,it's been doing odd things when I try to post...sending me to the new mag advert space!....or is this just a ploy to make me buy it?...I've got you admin folks sussed!!!
I'm still using Firefox...since IE had the issues...maybe time to change back?

No, I am saying that (for me) removing iGoogle (which is a version of Google with bells and whistles on) has removed any Vine problems.

I noticed that iGoogle wasn't always loading properly - so thought hum, best I look further into this one.

iGoogle can contain any number of 'extras' that you chose to add on - but all (or most) of these extras come from outside sources, i.e. hosted elsewhere and allow iGoogle to use them.

I had things such as the Moon phases, a Hangman word game, the weather etc etc - all of these have to load onto the search page - some are good fun, but obviously take up precious load-up time.

So, I'm saying try removing (some or all of) iGoogle (if you have it) to see if it improves 'your' situation - it has sorted mine

On the other hand I may be talking total b****cks
