Frozen again . . .

by Coryphaeus Oct 1, 2010 10:48AM PDT

IE8. XP Pro SP3, fully patched. For the past week or so when I access the forums for the first time, or the second, the page freezes on loading.

Note the bottom of the picture for the link it's frozen on. If I start IE8 with "no add-ons" there is never a problem.

If I click the X to close, I get the message Windows is not responding and I have to force the shutdown. I then submit the error to Microsoft. After I reopen IE I can surf the forums all night. There is something in the forums causing this because it never happens on any other site I go to.

Any thoughts?
