I noticed it last year to, I do not know why, let me be clear, 99.99% of the time on both my laptop and desktop and on every other site internet loading and browsing is fast and responsive. Now this site no matter what I do often I have to re-loin, refresh etc, when the effect or theme is applied for the falling snow look is turned on theis problem increases 100%, very slow loading, I get thrown out, sometimes freezes or crashes the browser etc. You might want to look into it, bad enough traffic here is vertually non existant but this issue makes it even more troublesome to try to come by and support the site. sorry but it is a fact.

No issues with Opera here.

No problem with the snow on my end, but I have taken it down to avoid further issues with speed.
