working much better. no more heart monitor look on my CPU usage. its staying between 4-6% instead of jumping between 4 and 94%. i know the bad thing on ur end with the refresher off is advertisers might not like the fact that their adds aren't being seen as much. is there a way to turn the refresh time down like say to 15-20 seconds instead of 1.5-2 seconds? or maybe make the adds less complex with less slides? just trying to throw out some helpful ideas, oh and i can use my spell check without a problem now. that makes a big difference, at least on my end, cause I've had people gang up on me on the site about me spelling when I've made a post that they didn't like too much. fact is im fairly sensitive about it. id rather have some one attack my opinion cause they don't like it instead of attacking something that i have no control over cause i have a learning disability. The spell check is just one tool i use to make it easier for every one to read my post and also not give people that don't like my posts something to attack.
