    The stats generated from this additional request are very good - http://www.big-boards.com/board/1306/

    As well as being highly accurate, they're also independent which helps their authenticity.

    The chap who programs Big Boards treats performance as a high priority so I can only imagine that this is a temporary thing, or that client side software doesn't like the cross site request and is holding up the download.

    I don't suppose that it would be disasterous in this instance to add big-boards.com to your restricted sites in order for the request not to be made, assuming this is a client side issue which needs fixing client side.
    I never realised the stats were so good! Thanks for the link.

    The problem doesn't happen very often so I'm not going to bother with adding big-boards.com to my restricted sites list. If it starts causing problems again I might do so temporarily.

    ;)

    Yes, it is really annoying :(:(:(

    Hopefully either big-boards.com will sort their servers or it will be removed from the site.

    I haven't noticed it for ages. Can it be a DNS issue with your ISP? Or can you divert it in your hosts file?
