When NP “hangs” I enter immediately the first letter or two of the URL of these other forums, auto fill spells the entire URL out instantly, I hit return and invariably the other site loads instantly. Then I reenter the first letter N of NamePros, URL spells out I hit return, and still it doesn’t load. Which this back and forth rapid checking of other sites with the problem evident only at NPs leads me to believe that it’s a NP site issue.
But I agree there are so many other factors that at times it could be a regional ISP issue as well. But I try when it happens, by accessing immediately some other forum sites, to rule out that ISP factor.
