Vince, I bet you're using IE. You have to ditch it, man! IE has a major (unrepairable) security flaw right now, it's JavaScript engine is not nearly as efficient as Webkit, which is what Firefox and Safari use. It also does not follow W3C CSS design standards, so many times IE will not display pages the way that they are "supposed" to be displayed.
So that is why you are experiencing the delay. It's not only this site that will cause the issue, by the way. I've researched the issue thinking I had made a programming error, and the issue is actually not tied to the forums, but to the technologies used to drive the forums. Many sites are now using newer web technologies for a better user experience, and IE is simply not changing to accommodate the need for better performance from these advances. Perhaps it is because they are focusing more on their newer browser versions, such as version 8, which is now in beta, but I am just speculating there.
Good luck with the issue,
Steve
