Is there a reason that this site has been sooo slow to access lately? It takes forever to list. It's NOT my connection, as I have 2 computers with different ISP's and they both have the same problem. Other people that I know that use AuctionWatch are having the same problem.
Is this going to improve? My yearly fee is due soon, so I really need to decide if I'm going to continue with AW.

Hello dmlinda,
Can you tell us which ISPs you are using? Here are some things to try that might help.
1. The first thing to try if you are using Internet Explorer is to install all available Microsoft updates. To do this, click on "Tools" on your browser tool bar. Then:
-Click on "Windows Update".
-Click on "Product Update" on the Microsoft site.
-Wait while Microsoft determines what software updates are needed.
-Click on "Critical Updates".
-Install "Critical Updates".
-Restart your computer.
2. Clear your browser cache, and/or use a different browser to view your images or access our website.
3. If you are an AOL user, try using a different local dialup number if there is one available in your area.
If this does not help, please try this:
1. Go to http://www.dslreports.com/tools
2. Click the "Go" button next to Speed Tests
3. Click the "Test speed using our server at Megapath, CA, USA" link.
4. Scroll down, and click the "Start" button in the Megapath box.
5. Wait for test results.
This test will analyze the speed of your connection both downloading and uploading data. You can compare your results (which will be in red) to the graph in order to get an idea of how well your system is performing. Please let us know the results (you can save this page as an html file, and email it to us.)

I am having the same problem and have tried everything they say and it has just gotten slower until today I have spent 1 hour and 20 minutes trying to upload one picture and it just comes up "Page cannot be displayed". Were you able to figure things out????
