Some forum functions not working, page doesn't fully load (explained)

On the forum home page, some parts of the page do not load. The page 'hangs' which stops the Java (Javascript?) from loading affecting the 'forum tools'.
I use Opera V9 which is W3C complant and have no spam filters, firewalls or anything that restricts the page from loading.

I have seen this before on some other forums where some functions do not work; smilies, quotes, bold text for example. I have treid to reload the page, but it still 'hangs' even though it appears to be all there. I do understand this missing 'data' are usually from ad servers.

In this subforum, the phase "completed request to pagead2.gogglesyndication.com" comes up in the address bar and hangs. In my thread, the phase; "completed request to files.automotiveforums.com" comes up.
In both cases I have to 'stop' the load before I can do anything.

Any ideas?

Our servers are currently close to their max load, we're working on the issue.

Then this is a 'known issue'??

Yes and the techs are working on it.

I understand you have to 'pay the bills', but since the problem is still here, have you considered another source or revenue??

"gogglesyndication' must be running on 3 cylinders.
