Having problems with the forums

I don't know why but every forum I click on ends up looking like this (see attachment). I'm currently at my parents on their satellite internet but still on my laptop that I always use to login. I don't see how an ISP can screw up a webpage but it's apparently pulling it off. Anybody have any clue why it's doing this and some possible suggestions to fix it?

As the tech rep from India would say, "The first thing we want you to try is to reboot your computer?". Just kidding of course, but today I can't get the region maps to work. I just end up with a little box with something like an X in it. But I think it's my problem, not Joe's HAZ.

Ya I'm almost sure it's my parents UBER internet. They live out in the boonies in KY so it's either satellite or go with the local phone companies 56k (they have a monopoly over the county my parents live in and drive out every cable/dsl company.....pretty sad really). I try and game on this internet and I literally get a 3 second delay on every action that I make.....really annoying considering gaming is 50% of my life (other 50% is the great outdoors of course : D)

So you think it's the site Joe or just my parent's net?

Joe, you are supposed to be enjoying Christmas with your family, not twiddling with the computers on Christmas Eve.
Merry Christmas any way.
PS - Is Santa bringing you a new server with some large disk arrays?

Yeah it's a little late to nip that in the bud! That would have been good advice... twenty three years ago
