unique to DU. On my laptop (running Google Chrome) when I click on a post it now (on DU4) takes a very long time to open/load and then close when I’m done reading it. This only happens on DU, not on any other sites I frequent, and was never a problem on DU before. On my iPhone and Tablet this issue doesn’t exist, but I almost always used to view DU on my laptop. Now, of necessity, I’ve had to switch to my tablet for normal speed. I periodically clean out history, browser cache, cookies and all that stuff but am obviously missing something. It’s really slowed me down as I work my way through daily DU posts so I've basically had to abandon viewing DU on my laptop. And yes, I am an impatient soul!
