I'm using Chrome. I find that I cannot access the longer threads at all. Anything over 100ish posts takes forever to load/never does.

Must be your end, about a second here for a 150 post thread.

Try restarting Chrome. When my Pc has been on a long time, or hibernated, Chrome does that for me - mostly with this site. Even just closing the tab might help - So far as I know Chrome still uses a separate process for each tab.

I would also try clearing all browsing data (under Tools).

Same problem as Manatee and solution albeit on a 7yo Celeron/XP* machine coming to end of its viability. Task Manager shows multiple chrome processes so I think assumption is right.

*Looking to replace this but first I'm seeing if I can breathe any life into son's two year old Packard Bell.

My Packard Bell lasted about that long, mother board I suspect. As we're only about twenty miles apart, what chance of making one good one from the two?

I've been using a water fox with Adblock Plus for a few days instead of my usual Chrome,
it seems hunky dory so far so I may even stick wivvit.

Not posh enough for water sports so use plain firefox, and adblock.

Superb.
