A Warm Welcome to the forum, Scrubadub
Yes, even with broadband this forum does bog down occasionally - Just now for example. And it's definitely this site because all the other sites and web pages load fast while this one doesn't. You just have to be patient or leave it for a bit and come back later. Various members have generously thrown money at Administrator SteveP to help the site keep going etc but it still bogs down sometimes. Fortunately it's not so often to make one seriously think about giving it up and don't be put off by some folks have a laugh at your expense.
