Try this and see if it loads faster:

http://64.246.51.136/forum/

If it does, then your ISP has a DNS problem with my DNS. You might advise them so on a technical support call.

Note that you won't be logged in on the above address because it would take a separate login cookie.

Also, try emptying your temporary internet cache files.

Try the oldest one in the book, empty the browser cache.

Depends on what you are using for a browser, but most of them have instructions on how to do it.

I set mine to automatically empty on exit, saves the problem.
