I was wondering the same thing. It happens to me from both here at home and from work. Both computers use IE.
I am on several forums that use the vbulletin stuff, and this is the only one that I have problems with.
I actually was going to give up on this forum because I could never even get the forum to load, other than the top banner and a couple of ads, but after buying the Blazer I decided to give it another try.
It is a great forum, but very frustrating to use. Having to switch browsers shouldn't be the only option.

Being owned by a large company like we are, there is very little impact that we can have on how the site is configured. We can only apologize for the inconvenience if you are stuck using a browser that does not properly function with the configuration. If that is reason enough for you to leave, then that is your choice.

Switching browsers definitely is not the only option, however, it is the easiest option for everyone involved.

 

wow.

i probably have the oldest dinosaur-of-a-desk-top on here, and i'm running XP on IE, and i've really only had 2 times where my loading was affected-and one time was because the site was under attack.

and i know i'm probably gonna be shooting myself in the foot for saying this, but........................i never see any ads.

just a little one under the "Vendor Directory" @ the very top right corner.

 

well, first off I didn't mean I was looking to leave. I meant before I joined, I kept getting nothing but the banner at the top, and usually a PNC ad. I was thinking this was a dead group.
Having said that, again, it just took me 4 attempts to get to the forum. It is like it starts to load, then just quits. I don't know, it obviously isn't just me having this problem. But it is something I will have to deal with.

This forum is owned by a large company? I must have missed that. Maybe I had better go back and reread the FAQ.

Couldn't load the forum at 7:20
Tried Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Firefox.
Same results with all three.

They did some maintenance. Nothing to write home about. Lasted approximately 15 minutes.
