Has anyone else experienced the forums locking up and having to close IE and try again? I've tried this on 2 different commputers and am having the same problems? Any advice?

I haven't experienced any problems, but I don't use IE. Firefox is a lot faster and the whole internet seems to run smoother, in my personal experience. Have you considered Firefox?

I don't think it's a browser problem. I had the same issue a couple of days ago using Safari - my computer completely froze several times. And only on this site; other forums I visit were fine. But it only lasted a short time and seems to be ok today.

Mine's been doing it for a couple of weeks and it's definitely been worse yesterday and today - I have to close down and start again.

I mentioned it a couple of days ago and a kind 3fc lady said it might be my server and their server having issues with each other and to let them know if it didn't resolve.
So it's not just me.

I love this site - it stops me eating! Some of the pauses now between pages give me time to go and make a sandwich... and.... and... help!

I use IE as well and it started doing that to me yesterday. I thought maybe just alot of people were on then so it was being slower. So annoying lol. I always read the forums in the morning before work and this morning I kept not being able to read or reply and it would freeze up and I would have to close it all

and boo firefox lol. I like to have like 30 pages(tabs) open at once (multi-tasking!) and firefox doesn't work so well with that lol. It gets way slower for someone who does that like me.

Anyways it seems ok for now for me so yay!

I have, but most of the times reloading the page has helped. I have had to completely close a few times (grrr).

I'll try firefox and see if it helps just for this forum since its the only one I am having probs with. Thanks.

I had it happen to me on Firefox. Hitting control alt delete cleared the problem, but it happened several times.

This is definitely the worst of the sites I visit during the day for delayed response times or freezing & locking up. Yeah, I'm on IE.

Response was sometimes awful on 3FC until I paid the fee for no advertisements. It's run smooth and fast ever since. I sometimes use Firefox and sometimes use IE.

[Rosinante]

I don't think it exists any more.

I have had the same problem with freezing in IE 7.0 and Firefox. I did not realize that there is a fee version. I will check into that. 3 fat chicks is such a help to me that I am willing to pay a fee if it is one I can afford.

[mygritsconfessions]

I haven't had any problems - yet.......lol

Yesterday the site was freezing every time I tried to search from the home page

I use Firefox. That's very convenient, I used IE before, then one friend introduce Firefox to me.Now I think Firefox is better than IE. You can conside to have one, you will love it.
