*Public Service Announcement*
For any DU'er who is a donating member:

If your computer is running very slowly...

You can turn off the ads!

Simply go to Options, and then click on Edit Your Preferences...

At the bottom of that page, there's the option for turning off the ads!

This should help!

:hi:

3. I'm afraid it is, my dear libbygurl...
There are a number of things that donors get to do ...

Post polls...

Do simple searches, or advanced ones...

I'm not sure what else...

You don't need to donate much...

I'm not sure what the minimum is, any more....

And the star is good for a year...

19. My dear dancingAlone!
Wow, sweetie!

I just had a moment when I realized that more people than my friend wondered about this problem...

This thread is the result of that conversation!

I hadn't realized just how widespread this problem actually is...

Thank you...
