Your forum is hung up trying to load due to it waiting on an image from Imageshack. Image 132.imageshack.us.... You need to delete that image since I have been waiting a minute and still your forum won't load due to that image trying to load first.

edit: the forum finally fully loaded. I don't know why that image was a problem, but it was.

Having your entire forum not able to be seen by guests will really limit you getting any members. I advise having the forum section names viewable by guests. People who don't know you won't join a board where they can't see anything to help them decide if it is the type of board they want to join. You can still have all the posts read only by members.

GG is correct. The only reason I have my board private like that is b/c I've already established regular members.

It takes my browser .028 to load it... I'll try photobucket.

That would be because you already had the image on your computer, and in your cache.

Clear out all your cookies, temporary internet files, etc. Then go to your page and see.

Photobucket might be better, but I don't really know.

Oh, you already changed to Photobucket. Much better. Now your forum loaded instantly. Very Happy

Also better that you have the sections viewable by all.

It seems you are hotlinking some icons. You need to not do that. That uses the bandwidth of those other sites. People call that "bandwidth theft". Instead, save the images, upload to your own image host, then link from your own account.

What I do when I find someone hotlinked to an image on my site is to replace the image with something else. Some people replace an image with a porn pic! So, don't hotlink. You never know what you then might find on your forum.

Whoops! Never thought of that. Confused
