I'm having a problem with this site lately, not with the content or members, but the actual board itself. Sometimes the page will end halfway through the actual posts. Like this: Is this happening to anyone else, or is it just a sign my laptop is headed for the repair shop?

I've had a couple of instances where the page will "hang" before it finishes loading, particularly if there are a lot of images or Youtube links on it. It's never *not* completely loaded though (yet?).

Right.
I haven't seen this problem myself. Glow, is it only / mainly on the pages with YouTube links? Because those pages slow my laptop down quite a bit.
Aside from that, does anyone have any ideas?

Ahhh
It just happenned to me twice, on Great Game Music and Favourite Songs and Music. I have a theory that it's because those threads contain at least a million YouTube videos...
If you folks agree, I'll just start up new threads for them both.

Another update:
Okay now it seems to be happenning on every YouTube-heavy thread.
Would everyone who's experienced this please tell me when it began? I was here last night and nothing like this happenned. It may be a temporary thing.
When was the first time you noticed this?

It's happened to me for a few weeks now, easy. I just never brought it up because I have a slow DSL provider and figured it was due to that.

If embedded Youtube clips are a hassle, we could link to them off-site instead.

I tried replicating the problem but couldn't get the website to do it. It might be a browser thing. I'm using Chrome at the moment. =S

I use Chrome as well, that's why I assumed it was ISP- related.

I'm using IE, but it only seems to be a problem on my laptop.
It wasn't happening so much on youtube light threads as well.

No problems here. The vids are tied to ads, are any of you guys running an ad block? If so try disabling it and see if the page loads.

I'm running it, but it doesn't seem to matter.
Edit: though now the latest page of the "Youtube!" thread loads fine. Heck if I know why. I still think it's ISP- related in my case, though.

Never been a problem for me.

I've never had any problem with youtube heavy (or other) threads at home, and at work all the nice youtube content is filtered out anyway by the department firewall.

I'm using Firefox and it has happenned to me a few times.
Perhaps if we could go easy on the YouTube embedding for the time being, and we'll see how it goes.
I'd really appreciate it if you folks would let me know if it keeps happenning, either on this thread or by PM.
Thanks.
