I know why they don't load; when an advertisement is blocked it prevents all images on that page from coming up on my computer. This only happens in DA and their suggestion is to turn off any adblockers or buy a premium account to have the advertising disabled for the duration of your premium account.
I don't let ad-sites set cookies on my machine and I've experienced that phenomenon too. A page will "stop" loading waiting for the ad-site to up load it's crap, which doesn't happen so the browser just sits there with a blank screen. One thing I've found that works for me in many of these instances is to hit the browser's stop button to stop the loading process, then hit reload. Most of the time the page comes right up.
