i just tested the forums in IE 5.2.2, Mozilla 1.2.1, and the Safari beta on an iBook running Jaguar 10.2.4. It did get stuck on the ads, i was able to stop it, refresh the page, and access the forum. But after i clicked on this thread to post a reply, it went back into the loop. The other two browsers worked flawlessly; i'm using Mozilla to post this message.
My PC is running XP Pro (can't access version number at the moment), and i browse using Mozilla 1.3. No problems; in fact the ad page comes up but the ad itself doesn't display. i've also browsed the site on SuSE Linux using Mozilla without problems.
The problem seems to be isolated to Safari, which is still in beta. i don't understand why Mozilla under Linux has issues, given that it's using the same rendering engine as the other versions. Try upgrading to the latest official release (not betas or nightly builds).
Also, given that Safari is based on the KDE browser Konqueror, could someone running KDE let us know if it loads? Konqueror's always been behind Netscape/Mozilla/IE, and they acknowledge it on their

We estimate that 90% of the web\'s script work with Konqueror. A few bindings to connect ECMAscript and HTML are still missing to make the rest work, too.
