It should render it. The main problem appears to be that Slashdot is a
huge table, and if Netscape doesn't manage to download the *entire*
front page, nothing except the top gets displayed. Most other pages
aren't quite so big and complex. Normally when this happens, I find
that reloading fixes it.

It may be that the proxy is improving the downloads. It might pay to
investigate the quality of your network connection, or to try viewing
at different times of the day.
