yeah, that's the tricky part with some of these issues....it can be a myriad of things...
Couple things to think about which will help us find the problem:
1. What browser are you using?
2. What internet provider?
3. Are you running any ad blockers or spam type software than can slow things down?
4. Does it happen all the time or sometimes?
5. Does any of the page load, or is it blank/hung-up from the start?
That info can help us detect the issues.
Thanks!

2. Roadrunner, that's what you mean right?
3. I don't run any blocking but there is one that comes up "This website is using a scripted window to ask you for information. If you trust this website, click here to allow scripted windows". That's only when I click the post a picture button and is pretty normal to me.
4. It happens 40-60% of the time, and if one particular thread gives me a problem then that thread usually won't load several times when I refresh.
5.
Usually everything above the upper ad comes up but the rest of the screen is the background blue. Sometimes the ad will also come up but with no animation and the rest is blue. Sometimes the ad will be animated but the rest of the screen is blue (still with all above the ad showing also).

I'm experiencing all the same problems as Sean.
I use Roadrunner Cable internet, No idea what variant of IE on my old laptop but it happens at work, on my NEW laptop and on the old one, no spam blockers, problem happens better than 50% of the time I read the site... etc.
As Sean stated, the top portion of the screen comes up until the top ad bar loads, then it will usually stop from there down and be just a blank screen. Usually, even if I go to another site and then come back after a few minutes it may or may not decide it wants to work.
Kinda annoying really.
EDIT- Just now I am getting " To help protect your security, IE has blocked this website from displaying content with security certificate errors. Click here for options..."
I dont remember seeing that before but I usually ignore those popups when they come up. This particular one caught my eye since its pertinant to this thread.

thats weird, its working fine for me at home and at work. im using google chrome on both computers with comcast cable internet at home. my phone loads it fine also. i got rid of internet explorer some time ago because it would do weird things sometimes, maybe its the browser, just a wild guess though.

hey guys...sorry about the issues. I will be working on it tonight and let you know what comes of it.
I've got some ideas in mind that I think should help.
Thanks!

I wanted to give it some time before I reported. When I first get on the download speed is very quick. As I navigate around it slows down some and the pages start freezing up again. Not nearly as bad but it's still happening. Now there's also different page errors. Everything is underlined in red but when I put the arrow over it the underline turns blue, sort of like a link. Sometimes when everything is underlined in a thread it won't let me reply.
