It seems to do it when I change computers. When I hit it from work it double loads the first time on. Then when I go home it does the same. No biggie to me, just letting you guys know.

I mean it loads the main forum index, then goes blank for a nanosecond, then loads the forum index again (like opening the same page twice in a row). My guess is it has something to do with the cookie handling since the last visit time changes between the two loads. The first screen shows the time I last logged in on the computer I was on, then when it reloads, it shows the last time I was on at a different computer if it was sooner.
Example: I just got home from work, and it first showed my last login last night at home, then reloads with the time I logged in at work today on my work computer. Once I surf here for the first time, it goes away.
I know on high volume boards, bandwidth becomes an issue, and this is definitely using some. I just thought I would let you know.

Hmmm.. very odd, definitely has to be client-side behavior though. I've tried to duplicate it on both my Linux boxes and my Mac, but neither exhibit that behavior. What combo of OS / Browser / etc. are you using? Maybe I can duplicate it here.
