    Is it the site or my computers that are messing up?
    Sometimes when I click on a thread it will come up as this really long computer script instead of the actual page. It has done this on both my laptop and my desktop, and I can't figure out if it is this site, my computer, or maybe evening our (insert bad word here) internet provider that's causing the problems. Some threads flip out and other come up just fine. Is it just me?

    Also, there is a chance I won't even be able to see any replies because I've had another thread I made mess up on my (on my laptop).

    I've never had that happen to me, some times late at night, this site doesn't seem to want to load but i think that the admins are aware of that issue already.

    Might be firefox causing the problems. I tried in IE and it works while firefox just shows the source text... Decided to try that after typing my problem in google. At the same time, though, when my laptop stopped working (with firefox) my desktop still worked fine. Now it doesn't, so fingers crossed that IE won't start messing with me too.

    I'm on Safari (and a Mac) I've had trouble on some sites with firefox in the past, it use to be my favorite browser, but something went terribly wrong over at Mozilla a few years ago

    So hopefully things will clear up if I switch to a different browser. Other than this site (and just within the last 12 hours, too) I have had no problems with it... Maybe it will clear up in a few days. Fingers crossed (I don't like IE and don't want to use it too much).

    If firefox is causing problems, you more than likely have a corrupt firefox. Uninstall and reinstall it. If it continues then you have more underlying problems within windows.

    I only use Firefox and I haven't experienced that with this site.

    Run a full scan of Malwarebytes (free antivirus scanner)
    http://www.malwarebytes.org/
    If this finds a ton of infections I recommend running combofix(free cleanup tool)
    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/down...virus/combofix

    If you have your windows disc on hand, scan your windows for issues with system files.
    -open your command prompt
    -type sfc /scannow

    After you are now sure your system is clean, and windows is not corrupt. Reinstall Firefox, or any other browsers.

    I have run a full scan on malwarebytes, super anti-spyware, and AVG twice. Only thing that was found a chameleon trojan (found by SAS) that was downloaded with a malwarebytes update. Got rid of that and the problem still persisted. Going to uninstall and reinstall firefox soon.
