Weldon, I have been viewing it over the last few days using both IE7 on a Vista machine and IE8 within Windows 7 without any problems.
That being said, I have numerous virtual machines available in my lab that I can use to test virtually any browser that you like... just say the word.
Iam still having problems....please continue to trouble shoot

I'd love any help I can get on this. Seems to be some weird javascript problem that only affects a small percentage of people in IE.

OK, first round of testing is done. I was using a clean Windows 7 virtual machine that was fully patched, but had no other additional software with the exception of a basic antivirus client.
For web browsers I used the built-in IE 8.0.7600.16385, and I installed Firefox 3.6.13 as well as Chrome 9.0.597.98. Based upon your comments about Java script, I then installed the latest Java RE, 1.6.0_23. In each instance within all three browsers, both the home page and the message boards loaded successfully. The only burp that I witnessed was that the video links on the right side of the home page wouldn't display where they normally do within IE8 until I switched to compatibility view.
If it's potentially a Java-related error, perhaps the people encountering the problems should try to remove the Java RE installed on their machines and download the latest version from here:

Just finished testing on a Windows XP virtual machine. Almost identical circumstances: a clean install without any additional software other than Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition. The version of IE within WinXP is actually 8.0.6001.18702, but the Firefox and Chrome versions remained the same.
Essentially, the results were the same. All three browsers displayed the home page and message boards properly, but IE8 needed to be switched to compatibility view in order to show the videos on the right-hand side of the home page where they belong.
I'll try one last round on a Vista virtual machine...

The same drill on a Vista virtual machine. IE8, Firefox, and Chrome all seem to be populating properly with only the previously mentioned IE compatibility view burp as an exception. That applies to both before and after installing Java RE 1.6.0_23, but it's always a good idea to have the latest version installed.
I wasn't able to duplicate the problem, but hopefully that still helps a bit. My dinner has been cooling off downstairs, but I'll check back later this evening to see if there has been any progress.
One possible cause for repeated incomplete loading of certain websites may be the MTU (Maximum Transfer Unit) set on the client side, particularly if the connection is via wireless and through firewalls / tunnels etc. This will be (mostly) browser-independent (unless different browsers load different content), but will change depending on your client configuration and on the network you use to connect.
If you can reproduce the problem, try decreasing your MTU and see if it persists:

The logo is a jpeg file, so I don't think it can cause any problems or contain active / malicious content.
Use Firefox and have not had a problem loading the page and come onto it daily
Sounds like a widget, probably used in one of the newer videos, is wanting the client user machines to have a certain version of javascript to run. Or might be some java enabling problem. Either way wejo, I would change things on the server side (your side) and not make everyone update their systems.
Newer, fancier widgets < older, more compatible widgets
People still use IE? Wow.

It's losing market share, but most people are still using it. The latest industry statistics place it around 56% of all web usage. That's why I chose those three browsers for my testing. Between them, they currently cover approximately 90% of the world's Internet browsing.
Whatever the issue was, it's fixed. Thanks!

You may not know it, but Computer Guru is the man. Listen to him. I may be biased because he used to kick me down during interval workouts. Keep up the good work CG!

Thanks old friend! On the other hand, you're far too modest. You are conveniently forgetting to mention how badly you crushed me in the marathon just a few weeks after those interval workouts!
