IE8 causes only nav bar to load

[Nocturnal]

Always have to refresh the page.

This is at home and at work.

More or less when I visit FS/T.

I get this too. Clicking refresh one time always brings it up.

Edit: I should clarify, it happens for me with the home page.

same here but not always. Maybe 80 percent.

Yeah refresh usually allows it to fix itself and same thing with grumpy, not always but more often than not.

From what i can tell, its the underlying JS code for the ad's in the left column along with the broken html & table tag, that's why nothing loads after the navbar.

IE8 is having fun loading the forum period right now, according to IE right now the forum isn't even answering, loads fine in FF.

I also have to refresh to get Anand to load.

Yeah, and when you try to close the tab you get the following error:

Poor implementation, and I bet it never gets resolved...
