The navigation bar is done with javascript and browsers load it after all the stuff in the page is loaded. This means that with topics that have images, only after all the images are downloaded, will the menu bar be shown, but it will be shown.
Anyway, at the bottom of the page, you have a smaller menu, with some of the menu links, including PMs, and that loads all the time and faster than the menu bar. You can use it to make sure no PMs are missed. |
