Yes, sometimes.

>Any idea why?

The times I've cared enough to track it down... Most often, there 
were connectivity problems within MS' network (for elements that were 
not cached by akamai).  Other times it was the double-secret 
handshake that MS' servers use with IE, which introduces delays and 
load failures when talking to other browsers.  Or it was their use of 
bogus html, css, flash, etc.

If you could provide the actual URLs involved, and a traceroute to 
'em, we could take a look.

The web server failed to provide that page element.

Loading Problems

2009-10-31 Thread Thunder 1

Greetings all.

Has anyone else had a problem getting msnbc sites to load? Most other
sites I go to will load quickly, but msnbc takes forever and sometimes
never finishes loading. Any idea why? I've cleared histories and cache
on Safari, but no solution there.

Also, (and this happens mostly on msnbc sites, but occasionally on
other
sites) when there is a photo or graphic to be viewed, such as a
thumbnail
or something to link to a larger photo or whatever, I get a small blue
box
with a white question mark in it. Clicking on that doesn't do
anything.
Again, dumping history and cache, and even closing out all other
programs
except Safari doesn't seem to provide a remedy. Any suggestions?

Is this a problem with my iMac C2Duo with 2GB's RAM? I wouldn't think
so. Or is it just the msnbc site itself?

Thanks.
Bill
