I get the blue spinning circle on other sites as well. ECF having an access point in the US just adds some hops before it goes across the water to England, I guess.
Anytime I get the spinning circle I can look down in the bottom left corner of my Firefox screen and see "Waiting for <website name>. If it's something that is obviously loading an ad or Google Analytics, I press F5 to reload and it goes on most of the time.
I think the internet's brain is getting full!

Hi tib, long time eh?
Try ruling out the obvious common denominator -- temporarily block/disable your sig. I did a web page test and although your sig only took :

Looking at the results lead me to believe your sig (tinypic) is most likely not causing your issue but it's worth a try going au naturel for a bit. Could be the PB&J, though.
Hello Progg!

no spinning wheel any other place and ff tells me:
read www.e-cigarette-forum.com
hiya, tweety!
ECF is hosted in the US.
Interesting. I ran Neo Trace Pro on it to trace the hops a while back and it went to a server site in Minnesota or Michigan and then hopped over to somewhere in England.
ECF must be mirrored these days. I tried Neo Trace Pro just now and it completed with the message below. Host city is listed as San Francisco in 8 hops from me.

ECF is hosted in the US and has been since 2010.
Cloudflare serves some of the content and is also in the US, and locally wherever people are globally.
It may be hard for an HTTP request trace to differentiate between ECF native and Cloudflare sources.
Cloudflare and/or local networks have some issues, combined with the various requests to other domains for non-ECF content, combined with some serious issues with vBulletin our forum software. Basically we won't see any improvement in these pages that never load until we switch to a more modern forum solution. This isn't going to happen any time soon although I might commit suicide if it never happens - or maybe I'll just be dead by then...
vB does the job but it's obsolete by at least 3 years and that's forever on the web. It's about the same as coding web pages with tables in 2008 when that was obsolete in 2003. Rubbish code apps like Dreamweaver were still using tables to code pages with for years after that system was RIP, killed stone dead by vector coding (layers) many years before. The majority of people stay with obsolete technology for a decade because there is an echo chamber that tells them it's OK - all the other people still using it. Getting ahead of the crowd is about the hardest possible thing to do in any enterprise - there is just too much inertia to stay with the current methods even though they are stone age.
We'll get there in the end, and I apologise for the issues in the meantime.
