My websites load meaning there is no spinning wheel but sites like battlefield 3 and facebook don't load properly. On my facebook everything is still loading but according to firefox it is done loading. My battlefield 3 the entire website is just distorted and nothing is where it should be. However this only happens to certain websites. For example my Hotmail, newegg.com, and diablo 3 sites work but ebay has some missing images.
