Love the site, but it's gone done broke itself...

[cmariotti]

Been a user for many years, but over the last few weeks, the site is busted. I have verified this with other users and it's not rendering properly (seems to be hit/miss).

The common thread for the testing is that we are in Canada, using Rogers Internet and using IE (FF and Chrome work, so likely not ISP related).

I've seen similar issues with other mainstream sites (rendering, not displaying or taking forever to display)... when I report it, it seems to always come back as an issue with specific ads being served to canadian users that are screwing up the rendering... they remove the ad and it starts working right... so might want to look at that first.

Glad to help testing if needed.

We have had intermittent bouts of page load delays due to adserver issues. Hope they are behind us.

I hope they are behind you as well, but it's still broke...

Tim,

I have to laugh a little on your reply, simply because as I've said this has happened before with the other major sites (Engadget, Gizmodo, etc...)... and their first response was exactly the same thing.

"Ya, we've been having issues but should be fixed..."

Unfortunately, I think the issue you think may have been fixed and the one I am (we are) experiencing are unrelated. The site is still very broken in IE...
