Oh, now that I'm finally awake lol (it was 7:34 AM when I posted last reply), I think the problem is in your browser. Old version was not using ajax and javascript, but it was MUCh slower then both current and beta versions. Please try to set all options in your browser to "default" level. If that doesn't help, try another browser, just to make sure. I'd recommend Firefox, but at the end, it's really your choice. I hope this will help
Does the problem still appears? If so, try to put all return all options in browser to their default state and disable ad block, cookie filters and check your firewall if you have it.

awww, but those ads are the only way to keep the website operational It's either that, or ask for donations, or ask for membership fee, which sucks.
