I do have one issue with comments. It's not new, but while we're mentioning these things I might as well bring it up. If I go to a specific comment, so that the address bar has #cxxxxxxx in it or whatever, I then can't read through the rest of the comments. When I click "next", it goes to the next page for a second and then switches back to the original comment I clicked on. It's always been like that though and I live with it.
If you could do something about the Sprint banner that would be awesome.

I had always personally thought my problems were due to the weird random blocks on my work comp.

At home (Safari Beta 4, Mac OSX 10.4.11) the videos load sporadically too.
And on both systems when I click on my friends/followers to see the long list the hearts do not show up by their names.

Every other week, something is broken. Back in May or so, for about a week and a half, I couldn't comment at all on my XP machine. Now threads do load...sometimes, after a great deal of refreshing, but there's some Javascript that's eating up processor and freezing up IE. The site crawls on Safari on my iPhone.
It sort of kills me, because I really love Jezebel and I love coming here and participating with all you fantastic folks, commenters and editors alike. (You are all fab, and the commenting code mess is not your fault!)
But Gawker commenting code has been a complete and total clusterfuck for months and months now. I don't think it was always like this; I remember that when I first started on Jez, it was snappy and responsive on all browsers and mobile devices I tried. But now, every other week, there's some new problem, and it's gotten to the point where nearly everyday I cringe a little when the code loads slowly, waiting to see if it'll come up broken or slow or both.
I have never seen code releases that were this badly broken in any other type of forum software, ever, on the Internet. There's gotta be some way for Gawker Tech to fix this, and make stuff load faster and more reliably on more devices.

I'd also like to add that Jez doesn't just crawl, it slows and occasionally freezes the entire OS when I'm on a Windows machine. I get the "abort script" prompt a lot.

I swear if I was independently wealthy I'd buy Jezebel right up from Mr. Denton and let it be the free range blog it was born to be. Free the Jezzies from this AJAX-based oppression!
Topic: I have problems every so often, but I thought they were my fault. Lengthy load times with time outs, the sprint banner floats on some gallery images, every so often comments won't load at all, but it's rare.
