    Starting yesterday fourm pages don't appear to closeout the loading process. I'm using Vista and the latest internet explorer.

    The loading status bar in ie shows loading complete but the status message is "waiting for priuschat . . ." Pressing the stop loading (x) on the address bar results in the desired page being displayed.

    This happens only with the priuschat site. All other sites complete loading normally. To me, it appears that ie is waiting for a "complete" indicater.

    additional info. . .
    The problem remains. No other sites are affected.

    I now notice the 'forum jump' links at the bottom of pages are sometimes missing even though the rest of the page looks ok.

    Often that has to do with an advertisement not loading. Sometimes an advertisement company (doubleclick, etc) is running slow and that can affect a web page from displaying properly.

    Your other problem is you are running Internet Explorer and not Firefox3. ;)

    I have also been having that issue. It usually says one or two google ads remaining to display and then it hangs. I usually hit the refresh button and it reloads the page fine.

    That's odd since logged-in members should only be having 1 ad spot load. It could be the Google Analytics script loading or the quantcast script loading - those are both located in the footer of the page and could cause it to hang.

    Same for me. It's been going on for a few weeks now.

    Same here. IE7 seems to get stuck trying to load a google ad or something and wont display the page until it has finished loading. FF3 does not have this problem. It sucks that I cant use FF3 here at work.

    No problem with FF3 on Linux, although I can see that some sort of loading is still going on after the page displays. Since it doesn't hang , it isn't a problem, but it does appear that some sort of add isn't completing.

    Sounds like a problem with advertisement blocking software/add-ons, such as AdBlock.

    I did a little looking with my Linux box and found the source of the loading after the page is displayed. PC is loading something from google-analytics, which is tracking software for online ads and such.

    PROBLEM SOLVED (for me).

    My daughter is visiting and she suggested that I reboot my router and modem which eliminated the issue I was having. I am surprised I didn't think of doing the reboot myself as it has solved other Internet issues in the past.

    If you are not familiar with reboot process it goes like this.
    Pull power from the router and modem for about 10 seconds.
    Re-apply power to the modem and wait for indicator lights to stabilize.
    Re-apply power to router and you are done.
