Why does it take forever for a page that's mostly youtubes for comments, to load?

As an example, I offer the latest page of the "what are you listening to" thread--although I'd noticed this problem as early as last Thanksgiving, when I first started a thread on Christmas music.

It takes ****ing forever, and one can't do anything else while waiting for it to load, other than sit there fuming.

I can't count the number of times I've gone to youtube and selected something to bring over here.....and then had to play and re-play and re-re-play and re-re-re-play the piece while waiting for the posting page over here to get loaded so I may copy-and-paste the link.

I swear.  There was one thing earlier today--that I had to play four ****ing times while waiting for the posting page to load so I could copy-and-paste the link.

I assume this is a software flaw, and if so, is SMF doing anything about it?

Is this the reason?

Thanks, BattleHymn, sir.  That does indeed seem to be the problem.

I'd seen that you'd responded about a youtube I'd posted, and was going to respond to your comment, but then, damn it, it was taking forever for the "reply" page to load, so I said "fudge it" and walked away.

Yeah.  I'm on a Linux machine and that page still bogs down while trying to load.  No worries.

I have the same problem with video pages and I don't think it's my internet.
