I am sorry, Dovster, I don't have the answer for you. I am not techie at all, so I can't even suggest you anything useful.

Are you using the freebie version (like me) or the ad-free version? I don't even know if that would make any difference. But I recalled a while back, the way IB was loading the ad/banners had been a problem for us using the freebie version. But it hasn't been an issue for me for a long time.

Are you using IE or Firefox? I switched from IE to Firefox a couple of months ago. I think FT performs much better in Firefox.

The only thing I do know is, if FT is indeed the only site you have this slowness problem, you need to give the tech people as much details/descriptions as possible in terms of the setting of your computers, the OS, browser, firewalls, anti-virus, ad-blocker programs you are using...etc, since something is interfering the normal loading of FT in your computer, (speaking from the experiences that FT is loading fine for me and other FTers).
