    I love this site, but have a general question: Why, at most times, are the pages/tabs loading when I am on this site? The eternally rotating circle icon indicates that something is loading, I presume. Is it the pop up ads, or some other information that is pertinent to the page? I guess it really does not matter, but it just seems odd to see the page seemingly never quit loading. Thanks in advance for any clues to this little mystery.

    Do you use FF? It's some thing with FF that happens, I don't know why....

    Yeah, I do use Firefox. Maybe I just gotta deal with it.

    For me, it happened in Xp, and now in Vista, both with Firefox.

    I've got XP on my lappy & it happens(fine under linux) most of the time if finishes, the page is 100% rendered but, it still says that.
    Nothing to worry about.
    P.S. I use Firefox 3 Beta 4 & have not seen this, only under FF2.

    Could it be Firefox prefetching links? There's a way to turn that off in the advanced options...

    Also same issue with Firefox on Vista. Had no problem with Firefox on old XP system. IE works perfect.
