The refresh button, un-nessasarly overused

ok. i just joined this site and iv noticed one extremely aggravating issue off the bat.. what is the deal with having to hit my refresh up to 10 times in some cases to get these pages to load? this is the only site I'm having this issue with. most of the time its just comes up a blank white screen and "done" at the bottom left like the page is fully loaded... this is extremely aggravating.

I'm using a custom PC AMD7500BC x2 2gigs of ram
nvidia ge-force X250 GTO (plenty of hardware)

OS: windows 7,
Browser: Firefox 3.6 with all the latest updates/ necessary plug-ins

I reported your post to management so they can work on it. It might be Windows 7, although I haven't seen other issues. Have you tried different browsers to see if it's Firefox specific? I use Firefox also, and it's had issues from time to time; but then again, so has IE.

I use Chrome and win 7, no problems. I switched from Firefox to Chrome, Chrome is much much faster in all aspects, and I prefer the UI now as well. Just a thought if you don't want to use IE, i know I hate it.

FYI it IS a firefox thing; the tech guys know about it and are working on a solution.
