I am seeing the same problem on one of the machines in my office, running Win2000 using IE5. The site works fine on my NT4 machine running IE5. But the site is basically unuseable anyway, as it is ridiculously slow. Not that this is a big surprise- I just wonder why they bother asking you if you want the "hi-band" flash site or the "lo-band" HTML site. Apparently "lo" is their special word for "tons of images and code that take forever on a P500 with a T1 connection", while "hi" is their special word for "sucks as bad as the lo site, but also includes animation on every page that has to run before the page becomes UI active". Admittedly, they are probably getting hit like crazy right now and the server is having trouble keeping up... but Lugnet is getting hit pretty hard all the time and has far more content. Think Todd has the same budget that Lego does? Please don't answer that. They need to shoot their design team and come up with something a lot more streamlined. I don't think this is news to them, I think they just don't care. -Tony Hafner www.hafhead.com

(...) I didn't notice any unreasonable slowness on the hi-band site over a cable modem. I doubt it's the design that's causing the slowness you had; I imagine either the server or the network was overloaded when you visited the site.
