When I am in the regular section of the HAMB everything works fine. If I go to the Off Topic section everything is dead slow, back button, next page, everything takes forever. Any idea what is going on with this?
wild guess...I think that the off topic page has ads that the main page doesn't, so if you're not doing what it takes to prevent them loading, you can expect problems...????
That's basically what it is and if your cache is loaded up / about out of memory, that's a sign as well. Try cleaning your search history out and re-check for the speed up or not.
