If I try and refresh the FT page, same thing.
Doesn't happen with all the pages,...It appears to me that the problem is related to advertising/ad code.
IE7 is also complaining, on pages that do render all the way, of being done, but with errors on the page.

I normally use IE.
I've been noticing the delay issue in the last month of two when the new ad format started. Even though it's not all the time, it would take much longer to load the page. Usually the ad "header" would render but it would take much longer to see the whole page. Sometimes the error messages would pop up stating the timeout or something, then the FT pages fail to load.
When it does happen (slow loading or browser timeout error), normally by refreshing the page will take care of the problem for me. I am not techie at all. However, I would expect to see a smooth integration between the ad portion and FT pages so the loading won't be interfered/abandomed due to the flasher ad server or something.
