Angie added Firefox today for me to see if that changes things....

so far so good.

I have noticed that the problems come and go in cycles. Some days its fine, slower than everywhere else I visit on a regular basis, but other days its a challenge just to get on at all. I seem to have the most problems when the top ad is Blue Cross/Blue Shield. When I see that one appear I just give up. I feel the problem is the most animated ads, also, the ones that keep changing even after the text is loaded.

It had been behaving well during the day. I see problems occur from about 3 pm eastern thru midnite. NEver in the mornings or daytime. It started up again today as I was trying to post a quick reply. Lost my reply :( Was on the I'm New Here post, in case that matters.

I downloaded Firefox - works like a charm. Everything loads quickly.

I only have the problem at work when I am using IE. If I had the option to use Firefox there, I would, as it is my preferred browser and has been for years.

Thanks for having it looked into. :)

The problem is definitely still occuring. Any luck figuring it out?

I use the Safari browser. Don't get a script error but the browser freezes up for minutes at a time and it usually occurs associated with an ad not fully loading.

This morning it was working fine until I went to post something and wanted to go to the advanced posting screen from the quick post screen. Boom .... dead in the water.

This is getting old. It's been at least a month since this stuff started to occur.

Believe me ... this problem has been reported to IB, our website owners. In the meantime, switching to Firefox seems to be the solution.

mine seems to be working better with firefox.

Now with Chrome I'm getting the "Oh Snap!" errors. I know that's a Chrome thing, but it doesn't happen on any other site.

..........and so then even Chrome started TAUNTING me with hip, cool language, I decided it must be time to grow a long bushy tail and head over to Firefox. I'll let you know how it goes!

I use IE and didn't have much trouble yesterday. Today I got the script error, but it didn't freeze up the browser to the point where I can't even close it (which it normally does).

Has been really bad the past week, could not even get on, box kept popping up, instantly locked computer!

I do not desire to switch to Foxfire, because IE is the more standard browser and works best for me.

But not meanin' to be cranky and Happy New Year to all! Woot!

ETA: Have been posting and reading the site, no problems! Woot again

I'm hesitent to post this because I don't want to jinx it:dizzy:, but Chicks has worked much better these past few days. Still loads very slowly, but I haven't had the 'stalling/locking' problems in the past few days. The last stalling problem was with a rightside ad for a new TV show called 'something of Lies" which just kept shifting pictues, but I haven't seen it since.

Popped back on to see if my luck holds. No box is popping up saying there is a script error and locking my computer.

I don't want to jinx it either.

I am still using IE and intend to continue doing so, so maybe the techs were able to fix that, bless them.

Woot!
