Mary,
You should copy those numbers exactly as you see them into the network configuration panel you have open. You'll probably need to click the radio button that says "Use the following DNS server addresses:" first. Then follow the rest of the instructions. When you are done, your machine will be configured to use Open DNS rather than whatever DNS server your ISP is using.
This may or may not improve performance. It just depends on whether Open DNS provided quicker response to you. You should try running with it for a while before deciding. You will be clearing all of your caches, which will be refreshed over time.
If you don't see any improvement (or if it is even worse), you could follow the same procedure and try Google's DNS server. The addresses to use are:
Preferred: 8.8.8.8
Alternate: 8.8.4.4
Again, might help, might not. If things do not improve (or get worse), you can go back to your network configuration and reset the radio button to obtain the DNS address automatically.
Gotta ask .. am I the only one having this problem? If so ... I'm so sorry keeping you all working on this.
AFAIK, you're the only one who has reported this problem. If others are having it as well, it would help us if they would speak up. We'll do our best to fix it if we can in any event.

I thought it could be a virus or something, but nothing is being caught when I run my anti-virus. That doesn't mean anything either .. it can miss something. Everything else works good tho .. maybe my computer just doesn't like dgrins new set up I like it though

that is true
but i dont suspect virus , as you are not not a person who download from "certain" sites
my guess is
either to much services or add-ons loaded , or , conflicting / damaged software , or , register

Hmmmmm ... you mentioned damaged software and I have a software program that started acting up about 3 wks ago. Never took it off and reloaded it to see if it would work better. It's Zoombrowser. When ever I go to look at photos I've taken it won't progress to the next photo .. there's a big delay. Sometimes it will progress on to the next or times I'll wait and just close it out because I become so frustrated.
When I go to run the cleaner it tells me it will delete files .. those are just the ones marked .. correct?
I have internet through my phone .. Qwest .. I know .. not the fastest and that might be my issue. Cable connection here is worthless for the most part. 1/2 the time one can't even get online or if you can it's slow.
Dogdots-
1st, how is your mom's shoulder?
Now about the slow load, I found something this week on a broadband card that might be having an impact. For an AT&T broadband card there is an option for it to downsample images. It is a setting in the "Communication Manager" software. Perhaps Qwest has something similar going on?

Mom's shoulder is in a contraption that an 80 year old lady should never be put in. She can't do anything so I'm over with her a whole lot cooking, cleaning, etc. Wish she would come to my house, but she's still so independent. Will know a whole lot more on Monday. Thanks for asking
I'll check that out with Qwest. Gonna have a talk with them on Monday.
Ran the cleaner and also ran the defrag. Afterwards I took a look at dgrin again. Some are better while others load the same. I'm at the point now where I think it will always be like this. I think a lot has to do from where a photo is downloaded from in the thread. Gonna do some more checking on that.

That has always been true--some hosts are faster than others. What is still unclear is why that should be any different in 2.0. I confess that I'm out of ideas.

I just can't figure it out either. Doesn't make any sense to me at all. Unless something has changed in 2.0 in the way of displaying photos on dgrin. Looks like it has, but if I'm the only one it's effecting I can deal with it
Mary,
It is perfectly normal for developers of free software to ask for donations. You are under no obligation to donate and the software will work just fine if you don't. But when you find something that is worth something to you, it's reasonable to support the people who have built and maintain it. Every little bit helps.

Ok .. It just really surprised me to see this. Never seen it before. I'll give Fasterfox Lite a try and see how it works.

One thing I did notice today when I was browsing the threads .. when I click 'back' the page/photos jump to the left like it's resetting on the page.

I tried dgrins and I couldn't even get online
I'll give Googles a try.

have you tried CCleaner ?
i use it , and its a great tool
http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner

Your right .. I had no issues before. This is really perplexing to me. I did the Google numbers and the pages load the same.
Is the CCleaner like Window Washer? I'll give it a try because my Window Washer isn't working well with W7.
Gotta ask .. am I the only one having this problem? If so ... I'm so sorry keeping you all working on this.

but that means nothing
there can be thousands of reasons that causes trouble
most come from software-conflicts and malware/ viruses
try CCleaner for start , its free , yet usefull
# make a restore-point before using it #
/ɯoɔ˙ƃnɯƃnɯs˙ʇlɟsɐq//:dʇʇɥ
Gonna try it in a few minutes

yes ...
the purpose is to remove temporary files and cookies , and clean the register
i usually let it at default
and , do not use Drive Wiper , its risky
another idea
uninstall all applications you dont use anymore
and
prevent certain applications to start-up with windows [ using CCleaner ]
after that de-fragment C: drive
do that regularly , dont rely on auto-defragment

Ok .. I'll run it tomorrow and do a defrag. I had been depending on it to run on it's own, but I've never seen it run
www.Dogdotsphotography.com
it runs when PC is idling for a while
and , it only defrag some windows files , not entire disk
