Answerbank Whats Going On Crashing?

[tali1]

Soon as I go onto AB ,pages start hanging and freezing.Has happened twice now on seperate days .No other sites are affected.Got fed up and had to use my mobile to post this

[Buenchico]

What type of device are you referring to? A Windows PC? A Mac? An Android tablet? Something else?

Which browser are you using? Internet Explorer? Edge? Chrome? Firefox? Safari? Something else?

[Gromit]

It is more likely to be your browser than a fault at ABs end.

I am guessing you are using IE on a Windows PC. Try emptying the browser history and cache. Failing that, try another browser.

I used to have the same problem using IE. Unfortunately I can't post how I fixed it, as the answer will more than likely be removed.
Let's just say, all those pesky adverts really clogged things up and used to grind things down to a virtual halt, as they all loaded up .... not anymore though :)

[Jackdaw33]

Giz, you couldn't have been plainer if you had mentioned the unmentionable.

[Togo]

He only mentioned AB. (^_*)

[Buenchico]

Yes, it does tend to be the ADs which cause problems with this site loading. Unsurprisingly though, the Ed doesn't like it if you BLOCK them but it tends to fix the problem. (PLUS, of course, the site will load much faster).

[Jackdaw33]

Chico, I can see you coming out of the Ed's good books tomorrow!

As said above, if you are on IE then that could well be the problem. Change to Firefox or Chrome.

When was I ever in them?

[Togo]

I am lucky, I have sorted my desktop out and it is now hit shot. The flashing images are, shall we say, a distraction. I am currently using Edge on my lappie and desktop and thinking of setting up the lappie to do the dirty. The daftest thing is, in the last couple of days I have posted answers with an Amazon link to products. I am now bombarded with ads for those very same products that someone else needs and I don't.

Clear your cookies, Togo!

[tali1]

It is a Desktop PC and Chrome is causing the AB problem

[Jackdaw33]

I'm on Chrome and have never had a problem.

[Buenchico]

Have you got that-which-shall-not-be-mentioned-here installed, Tali1?

I'd be surprised if the problem persists when you're using it.

[Togo]

I do Buen but you know, we all get a little lethargic. Plus on the desktop it really only makes me laugh. Yesterday I posted a link for a broadband extender and it took 20 seconds to pop up. Strangely though the Penderyn whisky link did not seem to elicit a response at all.

[Davemano]

Posting on AB is a problem - about a dozen words, then freeze, answer bank is not responding. Start post again and again.

[tali1]

Buen,what is the mysterious not mentioned install ?

[Buenchico]

Try googling what I spelt out for you in capital letters at 2222 yesterday ;-)

[cupid04]

rekcolb da....It's spelt backwards...;-))

[Arksided]

Well done, Keep it cryptic Cupid.
