I occasionally see forums that I run show a splash screen that never stops loading.

It seems to happen after rebuilds or if I haven’t visited the forum for a long time. It doesn’t seem associated with different browsers or forum plugins. And it happens to some people but not others.

A hard refresh (Ctrl-F5 on Windows or Cmd-Shift-R on Mac) seems to fix it every time. My guess is that this is a caching issue with the CDN, but I’m not sure. Anyone else experiencing something like this?
