Urgent Help Needed - Strange Lag when viewing forums on IE

[jl255]

solved all problems but still lag exists.

think i've isolated it down to the adsense ad below the navbar. when i remove it, at least it continues to show the loading indicator. but with the adsense, it goes immediately to 'done' even though it is still loading.

do u guys see what i'm saying?

When you load the page in IE, take note of where it 'stops' on the page. Then, look in the source code around that spot. You will probably spot some javascript or such. That is probably the problem.

tks lynne. it 'stops' after loading the adsense below the navbar. cld u advice what script on vbulletin comes after loading of the navbar?

ok, after looking at source code, here is what comes immediately after the adsense. i don't see any javascript code unfortunately. what i notice also is that, for IE, it waits until all the forum or posts are loaded before displaying the page while for FF, it displays as it loads. cld this be a hint?

<table align="center" class="page" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%"> <tr valign="top"> <td valign="top">   <table class="tborder" cellpadding="6" cellspacing="" border="0" width="100%" align="center"> <thead> <tr valign="top"> <td class="tcat" colspan="2"><a name="cyb_stats" style="float:right" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('cyb_fh_stats')"><img id="collapseimg_cyb_fh_stats" src="http://www.sgclub.com/images/lime/buttons/collapse_tcat.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a> <span id="cybstatsoptions">Top 10 Stats <span class="smallfont">(* - in last 1 days)</span><script language="Javascript" type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("cybstatsoptions"); </script></span> <span class="vbmenu_popup" id="cybstatsoptions_menu" style="display:none"> <table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0"> <tr valign="top"> <td class="thead">Options</td> </tr> <tr valign="top"> <td class="vbmenu_option" title="View more results"><a href="http://www.sgclub.com/misc.php?do=cybstats" rel="nofollow">View more results</a></td> </tr> <tr valign="top"> <td class="vbmenu_option" title="Turn off Top Stats"><a href="http://www.sgclub.com/misc.php?do=disablestats" rel="nofollow">Turn off Top Stats</a></td> </tr> </table> </span> </td> </tr> </thead> <tbody id="collapseobj_cyb_fh_stats" style=""> <tr style="height:1%;vertical-align:top"> <td class="alt1" rowspan="2" style="width:1px;height:140px;max-height:140px;display:none;"></td> <td class="thead" align="left" nowrap="nowrap">Latest Posts</td> </tr> <tr style="vertical-align:top;height:140px;max-height:140px;"> <td class="alt1"  style="height:140px;max-height:140px;"> <table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" style="height:100%" id="cybnp"> <tr style="height:14px;vertical-align:top"> <td align="left" nowrap="nowrap" class="smallfont">Thread</td> <td>&nbsp;</td> <td align="left" nowrap="nowrap" class="smallfont">&nbsp;Date, Time</td> <td align="left" nowrap="nowrap" class="smallfont">&nbsp;Posted By</td>

note also, that if i removed the adsense banner below the navbar, at least it shows that the page is loading and does not go into 'done'. why is that happening?

As already noted in this thread, IE and ff render the page in a different way. There is nothing you can do about it.

That code you posted is for some Top Stats which is a modification, no? Try turning it off and see if the page loads faster.
