Jay, my GF's computer does exactly the same thing when I visit this site since the new design was implemented. I've cleaned out all the temp files and cookies. Still the same thing. However I believe one of the Admin team mentioned it's something to do with IE5 (Internet Explorer 5) and not being compatible with it. My GF's comp has IE5. I have IE6 at home and it works fine. My GF's comp is getting a bit dated now too!

To find out if you have IE5 simply go to "Help" in the top menu and then select "About". This will tell you what version of Internet Explorer you have. If you do a search on Google for "IE6 download" you should be able to update to the latest version of IE. Good luck. Let us know if you need a hand.

I am having problems too, on my laptop which is using mozilla firefox browser & my desktop at home which is IE6. Site often freezes when I click on anything and each page takes ages to load, or the screen jumps about randomly!!!!! I really like coming on here, but its becoming a pain to use now!!! In terms of appearance the site is miles better, but performance wise, it has got worse, The situation is the same whether I am at home or work and regardless of what browser I use Firefox, netscape or IE6.

My work has IE6, and my laptop IE5, and both have the same problem - when initially loading up it freezes for about 10seconds then displays the page, and when clicking on forum links does the same - a freeze then appears. Nothing major, just seems a bit slower than the old site design thats all.

Same here with IE6 & Firefox, cant be arsed to keep mentioning things dont work but apparently if I use Linux or buy a Mac it'll be fine :D;)

Im not a Premium member yet though so have no right to moan (not that I am!)

I think my holes deep enough, I'll shut up :D

This is what im getting on every page for a few secs, sometimes when i click on the last post in general chat - it loads up the buyers guide :P

Yeah mine loads up on Buyers Guide too. I know why. Its because when you click on 'General Chat', the screen jumps down and the click is then activated on 'Buyers Guide'.

Pain in the backside! !dodge
