    I have a permanent 15 to 20 second lag on the questions coming up in the quiz. There are always 3 or 4 answers already in when the question arrives on my PC. I am on 2 meg broadband so should not be suffering on that score. Does anyone else get this/know why it happens? I am using Firefox as a browser, would I be better with Internet Explorer?

    Thanks in advance for any help that can be provided

    Yes.

    I had the same problem a few weeks ago - the Chat Room barely works at all with Firefox.

    I have the same problem. Wasn't Niall going to look into it a while back?
    Don't wrestle with pigs, you just get all dirty and the pig enjoys it.

    It's not very good with IE, but it seems significantly worse with Firefox.

    Thanks to all. I'll try IE next week to see if it helps.

    I have the same probs as you Scorrie, and all the posts following from DrS, Mr&MrsBB & Connie - I'm on BT Yahoo BB - 2 meg - still waiting for the 8 meg update. The scoring system for the quiz has been a bit fairer using the 3,2,1 point system these past few weeks, but the Chat/Quizroom is definitely sadly lacking. Regular quiz members have played host to "the Ghost" a few times over the past few weeks. My understanding is that this Ghost has a connection with the admin of the site & I'd hoped he/she was working on it. We did appeal to Niall on the Techie forum some way back for some improvements here - my best guess is that they're still working on it. Here's hoping!!

    Edited to include -
    Here's the link to the "complaints" made before on the "Techie" forum:-
