zeus.developershed.com is junk!
I don't know if someone is trying to reuse an old 386 machine or something but whatever zeus.developershed.com is it is always the last thing I'm waiting on when doing a page load. I've adblock'd it and things seem to still work ok, but I think devshed needs to retire it and soon.

i believe its the new ad server. I think the admins are still in the process of setting it up. Remember that ads are the reason devshed can remain open and free for you.
While i agree it seems slow at the moment, i dont think its making devshed unbearably slow. I'm on a 56k dialup with an average throguhput of 5kbps... and i seem to manage.

The forums have been really quick for me over the last week or so, and I'm not blocking any adverts. There's always a tiny wait for zeus.developershed.com once the page has almost loaded, but it's not very long at the moment.
Hey anyone notice that http://zeus.developershed.com points to a part-finder website? And that sites links to Jamsoft where the about page is written by Rich. Interesting stuff...

hey , i am using Airtel GPRS on my Sony Ericsson T610 mobile phone, On internet explorer the DS sites loads very slowly, and yeah i sometimes feel like crazy monkey sitting in front of mirror and trying to configure out who am i, but soon i moved to OPERA 7 and found the incredible and sudden change in my internet surfing speed. hey Opera has fixed all my problems. it loads faster, and i can now access all the dev shed sites very smoothly.
but i have another problem with Opera and that is i can't give repotation to anyone, whenever i click on the repo link it gives an error, "Invalid link specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the webmaster"
and another problem i am facing is i am not able to have an Avatar or a Signature. is there any special procedure for that ? am i not eligible for that yet ? do i have to get an Esupport ticket ? is it really necessary or can any moderator help ?
Regards.

I've had problems with ads.* and zeus.* before that have forced me to block them, also. When you're having the troubles described, there is an extremely long wait... the site is not usable. I recall that the problem was traced down to my ISPs DNS servers, though, and not a DS issue.
I have everything unblocked now and Adblock set to "hide" and the site is operating very quickly.
