This has been going on for the past few weeks and gotten a bit annoying. It only seems to happen with Safari( tried firefox, no issues it seems). It only happens on this site and no other site I frequent this occurs. Macrumors homepage is not affected either, just the forums. I have disabled my extensions, cleared cache, disabled cache, deleted cache out of the library, etc to no success in fixing the issue. Can get the forums to load after clicking the refresh button( which is stuck as an X).

I have recently experienced partial forum page loading on a regular basis with Safari (latest developer preview and Adguard 1.41). Once or twice the page wouldn't even load like your complaint. Chrome doesn't have any problems on the forum.

Haven't seen any issues like that. Is ABP on, or you have MacRumors whitelisted (I'm not sure if it even uses a whitelist)? I have uBlock on so that shouldn't even be the issue.

Perhaps investigate your ad-blocking settings?
 
This has also been happening to me a lot lately using iOS. I have to reload from a bookmark or re-enter the address. Never seen it elsewhere.
 
Yes, I have sometimes experienced the forums - and not the rest of MacRumors - stalling and finding it difficult to load. It happened as recently as this afternoon.
 
Over the past week or two when I click on the number in the box to take me to the last page of a forum topic, at least 50% of the time i am taken to a blank page rather than the page with the last message posted. I use Safari and this only happens in macrumors.com, not with other sites I visit.
