Site won´t load?

[VampirePlasma]

Hey. I´ve been resently having a problem. Am typing from my mom´s laptop.
In my computer, when I go to this Forum, nothing loads, and it´s only the banner on my screen. I don´t know what might be causing this
problem. Could it be my computer? Every other site loads good except this one. Any ideas?
I´m truly desperate

Has your computer loaded this site before?

[VampirePlasma]

Yes, always till yesterday afternoon, when this started happening.

Does your computer need a security system update, or any other kind of update?
And what kind of computer is it?

[VampirePlasma]

You totally lost me at security update, not computer whiz here. 
Can you explain to me what that is?
And for computer type, aga¡n exacly not sure what you mean, but it´s an HP Notebook.

[TallStar]

When I say update, that means kind of like a sims launcher update. But its not for the launcher. Its for other programs on your computer, such as Firefox, Adobe Flash, Norton 360...
There's a lot, and they all make your computer run faster and safer.

[VampirePlasma]

Nope, don´t have any of those.

[TallStar]

Just checking.
Is your computer old?

[VampirePlasma]

No, I mean, I don´t think so. I got it in my 13 birthday, last year.

Any one else has any answers? Mods?

Have you tried clearing your history, cache and cookies?

What browser do you use? Try visiting the page using a different browser. I sometimes have problems with a few sites and sometimes it works to just use a different browser for a bit.

Dumb Question: how do I do this?

Just Internet Explorer. Browsers are like Goggle Chrome and Firefox correct?

[Sportsfan]

Yes those are different browsers.

For clearing history there should be a history tab on the bar on the top of the browser. Click on that and find clear history.

I too have an HP (I think it's a notebook) - I get this, but the forum loads. You say all other sites load fine? My HP has an issue - if it's idle for ages (screen goes totally black, there's no screensaver), then the internet's horribly slow. I usually shut it down then start it up again after a few seconds.

Maybe (maybe!) pressing CTRL+F5 will work? What that does is refresh the page without relying on caches. Caches typically store what they know about the site - so if Carl changes the banner to pink, the caches will think it's still blue. So CTRL+F5 basically is an advanced refresh.
