I have that problem too. In Firefox it pauses for around 15 seconds after loading half the header to do...something...then loads the rest of the page as normal. In IE it simply crashed the browser.

I notice a Java icon in my toolbar now, if your page uses that I wouldn't be surprised if it was the cause.

page takes to long to load.........and your forum is all white........ don't like all white......... some stuff on the home page is scattered around a bit too....

Yes, there's a java clock on all pages. I was thinking about getting rid of that, actually. It's strange - I've had no complaints from any of my members about that, and certainly no problems myself. I'll admit that the homepage is a little slow to load, but can you guys just ignore that for a moment and give me some design critique? :(

Right, removed the clock now and replaced it with a flash one. Much quicker to load now :)

Any comments?
