I think I know what you're talking about.

There are two things I'm pretty sure will help.
1. First try google accelerator. It seemed to help those "stuck" pages to load better for me.
2. Or try the apple safari web browser. I don't normally use it much myself, but apple's web browser never seemed to have issues with loading KF pages like IE or Firefox 2. Plus it issuper fastin general, and works for windows too. Although I have had pretty good luck with the new firefox 3 beta. It may give you much better results. Besides, if you're using IE, it's about time you change anyway.

k, i get the same thing.. but i found several tricks

1) if you click a forum, sub-forum or topic and it dosent load within a few seconds continue clicking the link over and over. it should only take ~4seconds now.
2) once youre on the page and if its just white for more than 3 seconds, look at the adress at the bottom left. if it says something like "google.syndication.*****" for more than 2 seconds its stuck. use the back and forth buttons repedatly... i have nifty lil' buttons on my mouse that allow me to go back and forward on pages without the browsers arrows so i cheat (see pic) but you should just click the "go back" button then immediatly click the "go forward" button afterward. it sould load very fast after that. if not repeat three times in a row in succesion (without pausees)
3) use "refresh" like superpowers. if its froze, click refresh a billion times and it should work.

theese work miracles for me and i hope they work for you to... if not, well... sucks for you jk[8D]
