Looks like we all have our individual approaches to resolving the problem of page hangs. Mine is to keep hitting the back and forth arrows on the tool bar until something happens!
I am reluctant to turn off or fiddle around with Norton firewall, considering all the nasty stuff out there. Nor am I thrilled about turning off my Spy-bot software or pop-up blocker, either.
Seems to me that since so many of us are having trouble with this hanging page thing, the problem may not lie with us, but with the server and its settings. I also wonder how many members (or visitors) have tried to view Flyertalk, and just plain given up, never to return again?
