adserver.adtech.de slowing boards to a crawl

    On my UPC broadband, on my o2 dongle, and on my Mother's Eircom whenever I'm there, boards is slowing to a crawl about 40% of the time. It just seems to hang waiting on a response from adserver.adtech.de. Now, obviously the thing to do there is to either use blocking software, or edit the hosts file - but boards needs the revenue from the ads, so I don't do that. I did test it temporarily, and the site flew along like it was on fire, but I've it back to normal now, and boards is just crawling through treacle again.

    Just FYI.

    Hence my saying it's 40% of the time, not 100% of the time ;)

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
