imgur won't load?

[green meklar]

I noticed that just starting this morning, imgur pages weren't loading for me. At first I got a few pages where the CSS and images didn't load (giving me a page of bare text), now it just sits there forever waiting without loading anything. Before this morning it was working fine. I tried deleting my imgur.com cookies but that didn't help at all. I'm using Firefox, but I tried Internet Explorer and it exhibited the same behavior. Pinging the site works, so it doesn't seem to be a DNS problem.

No one else seems to have indicated they're encountering any problem, though. So if I'm the only one affected, why? And what can I do about it?
It stopped happening after a few days, I still don't know the original reason for it.

That said, a way that I found around it was to change every imgur link by replacing 'imgur.com' with 'filmot.com', which seems to be some sort of mirror. It might be a bit slower, but it works.
