    Lately the forum is quite laggy for me sometimes. It happens when multiple ad zones are displaying video/animation/flashing ads. The laggy could be so bad sometimes that I had to wait for my typed words to show up. Even worse, sometimes they don't show up... just went missing, and I had to retype them again.

    Is it possible to decrease the amount of "live video" ads?

    I am using a Dell Vostro 1500 laptop with 2.2GHZ Core 2 Duo and 4GB RAM + SSD, and I am on a 30Mbits fiber optical. So the problem can't be from my end.

    Same here. All of the animated things make everything stutter and lag. In fact, I have to use an Ad Blocker to hide the majority of the ads except the one in the side.
