    IE is bloated. This is really an issue with IE, not vBulletin.

          Additionally, are you running advertising banners - such as google adsense or anything else? I am observing alot of bad rendering performance versus the actual forum performance with IE6-IE8.

            Well, this is true. I deeply hate IE.

            I checked it both on IE7 and IE8. The same thing. Forum's load is twice slower then in Firefox.

            Yes, I have Google Adsense. Could that be the problem?

            Thanks to all of you for your help and concern!

              The site loaded pretty fast on my end of my machine on FireFox and Internet Explorer  8.

                Thank you for your comment, EvilAkuma. I hope the problem is just with my PC. However, I have 3 computers at home, and all of them show the same problem.

                P.S. I am also a proud Vbulletin owner. I love Vbulletin!

                  The reason the site seems to take longer to load in IE, and nothing wrong with ie is that you have nested tables. Firefox prefers to render tables progressivly where as IE renders them once it has the entire grouping of code. They both have their ups and downs. The issue here is you're purely nested table layout.

                    You are right, Zachery. I noticed that IE won't render the page progressively, like Firefox.

                    The question is, should I leave it as it is, or should I change my layout? What do you think?

                    Thank you!
