On every page I’ve navigated to on the board today since about half an hour ago, the page won’t stop loading. That is, the page loads and displays in my browser (FF on MacOSX, btw), but the little loading icons in the upper right corner and in the tab continue to spin. I am logged in and I’m not seeing any other symptoms. It’s doing it in Safari, too. No other websites are exhibiting this problem.

Update: I’ve noticed that the browser indicates at the bottom of the window that it’s “Transferring data from [www.google-analytics.com](http://www.google-analytics.com)…”

Yeah, I’ve seen that too – using the Chrome browser I’ve gotten that “page is taking too long to load – do you want to kill it?” message.

(I’ve often wanted to kill pages but I don’t think Chrome is talking about the same thing I am. Unfortunately.)

I’ll see what I can find out about this.
