This never used to happen and its driving me crazy.

Opening this thread today using the 'newest post' link on my CP page of subscribed threads took exactly 20 seconds from clicking the link to being able to scroll the page to read previous posts.
Again the g+1 button is the last thing to appear before I am able to do anything.
ETA
strangely when I posted this message it was instant and with no page freeze, I could scroll it straight away.0 -
I am getting an approx 15 second delay every time I open MSE in my browser - computer freezes up (completely). I literally can't do anything with my computer because it is frozen (not just the browser). I am not sure I should be visiting MSE whilst this continues.
Pertinent details:- Browser:
Chrome 18.0.1025.162 - Operating system:
Windows 7 - Broadband provider and speed:
BT Infinity - Location:
South Hampshire - time of issue:
Every single time I open MSE in browser, irrespective of time - Is the problem consistent or intermittent?
Consistent - How does it manifest itself?
Only on first load in each browser tab session
I can see in the lower left of the browser window that images.moneysavingexpert is loading at the time.0 - Browser:

What skin do you have on the forum ? Stretchy, fixed, old, new ?0

I'm currently running Old Look, New Masthead. Not had a problem in the slightest with any browser I've tried - maybe worth a try for you to see if it was this causing the issue ?
I do try various different settings, I have completely removed my browser and downloaded another version from a different site, I have even tried it without my AV switched on (dangerous I know)
So far about the only thing left to try is a reboot of my computer and start from scratch but having had to do that a couple of times before, I am reluctant to do it just because this site and only this site is running slow after changes made to it by the site owners.0 -
Worse than ever logging in this morning.
Page hung for ages (worst it's ever been) then when it progressed to the 'thank you for logging in' screen a small square box quickly closed in the centre of the screen.
It was instant, and like one of those things when a background process that you don't see, closes. You just see the outline of a box closing very quickly. Does that make sense? No idea how else to describe it.Herman - MP for all!0
