I was about to post the following this morning:
Then I discovered that the system hangs when I post a reply. 
So I've had to log into the work VPN to post this.
As of this morning (GMT +2) I can get into FT forums instantly as I did in the past.
Many thanks to whoever fixed it. ^
Now I can access my prescioussss, preciousssss FT without using the nasty work's VPN.

I finally identified what was blocking you, and got it removed. I don't know why you would be having an issue with replying. I'll forward this to the network guy who found the last block.

Spoke too soon... Turns out the freeze is not related to replies but appears intermittently with random pages throughout FT even while others are loading quickly. Might it be associated with some content in the advertising on those pages?
The (frustrating) solution at the moment is to keep refreshing or just come back later.

I'm on a Sprint 4G wimax connection running through a cradlepoint router. Could Sprint be blocking ibsrv.net?

The forums stopped loading for me around noon today. I noticed that it was hanging trying to load ibpxl.com
I have the noscript extension on Firefox. Around 7 p.m. I clicked that, marked it to flag ibpxl.com as untrusted, and then FT loaded instantly. It's some crap in javascript at the end of the page code.

Installed no script add-on and it now works in FF perfectly.
Does this mean there is a problem with the javascript on FT?

Sorry to bring up an old thread but this exact issue happened to me about a week ago, I couldn't load FT on firefox (all other sites work) so was having to use IE to access FT.

I'm glad to stumble on this thread. I'm experiencing the exact same problem. It started yesterday out of the blue. It doesn't matter what browser I used, IE, Firefox or Chrome, FT keeps bombing out on me. What's the latest fix for this problem? Thanks.
I spent 2 hours on the phone with my ISP (Comcast) and they couldn't figure it out why. :-)
