        Thanks EMQ. So far looking like shitty Flickr ad server, connectivity looking good. Mind you, your DNS server didn't/doesn't have the entries cached. I suggest manually setting your DNS server to 8.8.8.8 for faster browsing in general…

        For Flickr, using Chrome, Open a blank tab, then go View > Developer > Developer Tools. Click the "Network" box/tab thingy down the bottom. At that point type in flickr.com, hit enter. You'll get a timeline loading, look for the longest part of the timeline, maybe take a screenshot of it. That will show exactly where it's spending it's time..

            Well this morning it was hanging up on the very first GET and not resolving anything, but for whatever reason when I got back from class and tried one more time before grabbing a screen shot flickr decided to load just fine.  Thanks for your help though Snowy!

              Hiya MC, if it happens again, follow the same advise and we'll get it sorted. Feel free to PM me, or keep it going here, both work fine for me :). Updating your DNS to 8.8.8.8 should make 'everything' faster for you.

              Then Advanced>DNS>Hit Plus bottom left, type in 8.8.8.8

                  Anyone have both Tricker's and Viberg boots?  I'm curious if I'd be the same size in the Tricker's Stow as I am in the Viberg Service Boot.

                    You know what models I have.. So it may not be too helpful but... Well I hope it's not...

                      Dose this seller have a good rating or bad rating for this site? "4.17 out of 5 stars" In EBay less than 97% is trash rating… :-\ New to this site though. Just not sure…

                        Not that high, but I don't know that it much matters if you're outside of Japan, as returns are kind of off the table anyhow.

                        Think it, be it.

                            Both my Trickers Stow and Malton are UK 10, fitting 5, and I'm a UK10E in my Viberg 50's Service boots (310 sprung toe last), Engineers (also 310) and Smokejumpers (160 last). There's  slightly more room around my toes in the 310 last, but it's in keeping with the boots and both Trickers are a much closer fit, similar to dress shoes.

                              Can anyone suggest a safe way for both my feet and the leather itself..  How to disinfect a pair of well used leather boots?

                                I was just reading about this. Rubbing alcohol will work but you'll need to condition the leather afterwards.

                                  Thanks Seawolf.  I read that somewhere too.

                                  So i'd need to condition the interior of the boot?

                                        I have a package that reads "retention" at the destination zip code on Japan's EMS tracking site. My understanding is this means that they attempted delivery and had to hold it. Since the delivery was to a business that was closed Saturday, my assumption was that they would attempt re-delivery Monday. It still reads retention as the latest status.

                                        Any thoughts or similar experiences?

                                        Think it, be it.

                                          It could also mean you have duty to pay.

                                            Thanks–my hope is that duty was built in to the cost. I think Rakuten usually does this. I'll use this site!
