Everytime I reload a forum page, the font is small and close together for a split second and then it turns into its regular font. Actually most pages on this site are slow. Is it because there is so much content on it? I suggest they remove certain things and reorganize to make things run a bit quicker. My computer is fast btw.
And are they planning to fix this anytime soon. I noticed they switch the Waypoint forum with the polling forum which is a healthy change.

hmm… thats rather interesting. I am not experiencing any of those issues. The forums are actually faster than they have ever been currently. I would love to help you out and figure out what exactly is happening with you, but in all honesty im not the most tech savy and feel in this particular area I could not offer you much help.
Maybe contact WaypointWeb an administrator account or even DavidJCobb another monitor on the site who knows his stuff. Both users are worth a shot. I wish I could provide you with further assistance but this is the best I can do 
What you are experiencing is the page content is loading before the css styles it. Your browser should cache the css though after the first time you load a page.
Well, for example. Everything on B.net is instant. But whenever I go to my H4 stats page it takes awhile. I can’t help but feel it is due to the excessive animation and content on this site. On the stats page, there is an animation that moves from top down like on ur visor whenever u re spawn in Halo. and whenever I click back from a thread to the forum page, it takes a second, and then it takes longer to load unlike B.nets.
And whenever I scroll down, it lags. Unlike B.nets. I think the page should be shorter buy making the font size 4 instead of what it is.

The stats app takes a while to load because of how it loads. I haven’t checked into its code in detail, but it’s an AJAX app.
Basically, that means that the app itself loads first – script (program) code, systems, layouts, and so on. Once your browser loads the app, the app then tells your browser to load your raw stats data, which the app then formats and displays for you. Web apps like Gmail load the same way, and have similar delays.
This is in contrast to a standard web page (like the forums), where there’s very little program code to load – most of what’s being loaded is data, and instructions on how it ought to look on your screen. All “data”, no “app”.
(That said, the animations might not be helping matters.)

EDIT: The following all applies to the forums. If you’re talking about the app, they do do a lot of fancy visual stuff, and that can cause lag more easily than on the forums. /EDIT
I don’t experience this on the forums, but I do know that changing the font size wouldn’t do much to alleviate it.
This is a symptom of either high memory/CPU usage on your computer, or a severe flaw in your browser. (For example, Firefox used to lag when scrolling down pages with a lot of dotted borders. Actually, I’m not sure if they ever fixed that.) Browser flaws are less likely – I very much doubt that Waypoint’s web team would forget to test this site on any of the major five browsers. :\
Even so, if you are not using the most recent version of your browser, then I would highly recommend updating. If you’re on the most recent version of an extensible browser like Firefox, then take a look at any add-ons you have installed, and consider disabling any less-well-known ones to see if they’re causing performance issues.
If you fail to find anything inside the browser, then take a look at any other programs that you might be running. Windows’ Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc) is quite helpful in this regard: you can set it to show columns for CPU usage and Memory (choose “Commit Size”), allowing you to see which programs are doing the most processing and which are working with the most data, respectively. Consider terminating any programs that you aren’t actively using, and see if that brings about any improvements.
I heard that deleting programs can seriously mess up ur computer if they are vital. I wouldn’t know which to delete. I don’t know which are viruses or not. Norton isn’t picking up anything. BTW the lag is nothing significant. But whatever B.net does that makes it load in a more appealing way, Waypoint should do as well.
Really there ins’t any lag. It just seems it could be more smooth than it is.

Sorry for the confusing terminology – “terminating a process” just means closing a program. “Process” is used because several copies of a program can look like one (for example, if you browse with Google Chrome, each tab is a separate copy of the Chrome program).
You are right that closing the wrong programs can cause issues. Trust your gut: if you don’t feel comfortable trying it, then don’t try it.

I agree that the Halo 4 stats could use a little more function and a little less form.
