What I am about to type won't actually help you. You've probably also already heard it several times before. What you need to do is stop using Internet Explorer. It is Junk Software and Microsoft has no intention what-so-ever to address any of the outstanding problems, as well has having no plans to fix Cascading Style Sheets or adhere to HMTL 5.
Personally, I don't care if you use FireFox, Opera, Chrome, Flock, or even Konqueror. I do care that you are still using a legacy browser that is an active danger to your computer system.
What's the deal with the IE8 browser and these forums? Everytime I go into a thread which includes an imbedded, moderate sized image, the forums lags like my system memory is almost maxed out. As I continue to surf the forums, IE8 slowly renders every layer of the forums page. If I close the broswer window, this slowness clears up. At least until I hit another thread with an image.
Note: the signature and avatar images don't seem to be a problem.
This problem happens at both my home and work computers. The problem definitely seems to be this forum and the IE8 browser only because other websites and non-browser apps still work fine. Is there an IE8 setting that I need to do to flush buffers automatically or something?
