My old laptop use to be like that.

You're almost certainly running XP I would think? Which is not ideal for being on the net anymore with support no longer offered anyway.
My garage PC is in the same boat.

Depending on your use a decent tablet may be the way forward? There's apps for almost everything now including photobucket. I often use mine or my phone for posting these days.

Not nearly as expensive as a decent laptop though they do have some limitations.

I have a 12 year old laptop and I downloaded and installed Linux, a free alternative to Windows, which has revived it. I'm typing this on a little underpowered netbook that I've installed Linux as well as XP. You can squeeze more life out of old things (as well you know) ;-)

In which case it's hardly fair to complain that the forum is at fault!
