[QUOTE=brent_2]back to the original topic - could it be your browser is trying to download all of the animated banner ads before showing any of the page at all? Hearing the sound before everythign else loads may be a clue.

there may be a setting somewhere to tell your browser to load all info first before displaying it...[/QUOTE]

I think someone else suggested this earlier.

The only relevant settings I see (and understand) in my IE6.0 are in the Tools/Internet Options/Advanced window. They are:

1)Play animations in web pages
2)Play sounds in web pages and
3)Play videos in web pages

all of which are on and will stay on because, once again, I'm not having problems at any other website.

Speaking of animated banner ads, there's only one, isn't there, the UV banner? So once I'm past the front page that shouldn't be an issue, right?

I'm not tech savvy when it comes to this stuff, but what I frankly suspect is that the beta version of this website software which Matrix is running might be the culprit, or prehaps all the pictures and animations people are adding to their posts - but that's just a guess for me.

As an aside, what's interesting now is that the smilies are working for me - they weren't yesterday. :confused:
