In other news, this site is acting laggy again; not sure whether it's just my computer, or other people's as well.
Seems okay here, although unable to post in scrap's 'away to death valley' thread. It keeps freezing everything up. Thought it was the computer and did a defrag, but it seems it's just something about that particular thread. *shrugs*
It might be the number of smileys in that thread, especially if your computer is a little slow anyway.
Have you noticed the same thing in other threads with a large number of smileys?
