For those that have had issues with the pages getting stuck and not moving forward:
It is likely you are using internet explorer. Internet Explorer has issues with this site, it's been that way since the upgrade. If you are dead set on continuing to use internet explorer then this step will help you.
In the upper left where you see the toolbar and the url to the right of that you will see a magnifying glass and to the righ of that what looks like a ripped piece of paper. When you get stuck you need to click on the ripped piece of paper looking symbol. This is what is called compatibility mode.
Once you click that, your page will refresh and you will be able to see the pages that you weren't able to see. This typically starts when topics go more than 6 pages. I have no idea why it does this but Internet explorer just isn't a great browser to use anymore.
Suggest you use, Chrome, Firefox or any other browser but IE.
I explained this yesterday and would've earlier today but the site was very slow and inoperable for a period of time with errors coming up. It took me 20 minutes to post the play I purchased and after it finally went through I gave up trying to post this.
Hope this helps those that experience this in the future.
