THN website not loading properly?

For the past week or so I have noticed that sometimes, the front page, although appearing to be fully loaded, is still showing in firefox as "loading".

By that, I mean that although I believe I can see everything that should be on the front page, the browser is still sat there with the little spinny icon on the tab bar for it and it's saying "transferring... at the bottom." A refresh sorts it out - but I thought maybe it would be worth mentioning...

I don't remember it ever doing this until approx. a week ago, and I believe I have seen this happen on both my work laptop and my own home PC. (Both using latest release version of firefox).

I have also seen this while viewing some forum posts (though it doesn't seem to be specific to any particular posts).

I have this on the iPhone and pc on safari and chrome too bloke, I've put it down to shoutbox, but as the shoutbox is essentially an <iframe> it should do it.

it's more the fact that it's intermittent - it's also happening on pages without the shoutbox though. In fact it happened on displaying the first post to me as I made it...

I think it happens when JavaScript is still running and so the page hasn't reached its final load state. I don't think there's anything to worry about, though it reminds me that the scripts that populate the posts/threads on the front page are a bit arsed; they're on indefinite hold, though, as I don't have the energy to deal with them.
