Is there a thread with info for dial up users, that might help them? I have a high speed aircard with IE and it was all basically useless (worse than dial up) on the new site until I switched to google chrome. With a heavy heart I was ready to say goodbye

today, too, because navigating the site was impossible. I hope a member or mod can help her figure out how to get reasonable access.

Deerman, my aircard is verizon. It and IE worked fine for me at all other sites, but switching to google chrome made the pages here load for me in under 1 second, compared to 20-30+ seconds with IE. The difference was unbelievable. Many other's have said that switching to chrome did them no good, so I don't know how all that works for everybody. I just know that it worked for me.

1) I logged off BYC
2) Cleared my chache (via left clicking start, selecting control panel, then internet options, clear cache & stored internet pages/cookies)
3) Then downloaded chrome (took about 7 minutes total to be up & running with it) see note***
4) ***Just in case of any snags with the chrome install and hence avoiding a need to select/switch back to a previous different browser, I opted to NOT make chrome my main browser when given the option to choose (this can always be changed at any time)
5) After install, chrome was open on a full page screen automatically, right there ready for use
6) Had it not been automatically open and viewable, you can access it by left clicking on start, then hovering your cursor over "all programs" which should pull up a list that will have the newly downloaded chrome as a clickable option, and if so, click to open chrome and type in backyardchickens.com in the chrome browser

I hope it speeds things up for you! It made a world a diff for me.

yesterday, loading the page was really slow.
Today, I am zooming through the site. :)
I use Google Chrome. * I have cable internet, so I have no idea about with dial-up. *
 
The library always has high-speed internet! Or if you have a cell phone (which all minions must have), you can get 3g or 4g with a smart phone and surf the site that way.
 
There are other threads that say it will work better on dial up with different browsers. Did she try to down load "Google Chrome"? Instead of IE or Firefox.
