What Is Wrong Here ?

[atalanta]

Wotcha, Ed, what is wrong with this website ?
Using Firefox. Almost every time I click on something, the system crashes or else it takes up to five minutes ( sometimes more ) to connect through to what I want.
I have tried using explorer instead, but every time I click on the site in explorer, it asks me to register. I am already registered and have no interest in doing so again. I have no such trouble with any other website I visit.
The delays and crashes here are definitely getting worse, and the new format has done nothing to help. I shall have to give up on the site altogether soon.

Did this start on Monday?

I only ever visit the site via my phone now, the hassle to do so via my Samsung tablet just isn't worth it.

five restarts tod ay and no posts
I will go and do something else

[ChillDoubt]

I concur PP. I'm only posting now because I've brought my tablet into work and am posting via a browser that we can't mention on this site.
The site now freezes on my phone and is the only one that causes problems, hence I'll I'll be posting here even more infrequently than I did before.
Where once it was my first port of call it now barely registers as an afterthought, sadly.

i have no problems with ab using chrome

[jno]

no trouble on my PC, though lots on my Ipad. Do you not get a Log-in option along with the Register one?

[Peter Pedant]

ten restarts - one post
back to the book I think

[Peter Pedant]

six people have posted successfully in the last 20 mins
m and frankly I am amazed they persisted
20 restarts to get here

I've been missing for a while because it was unuseable, keep hanging and crashing, no other website affected just this one, got super fast broadband all functioning well. I used Chrome and then Firefox- same on both. Seems okay today x

[Peter Pedant]

honestly just go and do something else

[Samuraisan]

I have had no problems at all, neither on iPad or iPhone .

//I have tried using explorer instead\\

ROFL, IE belongs to the age of steam radio!

[woofgang]

No problems in my ipad or apple computer running safari

[Baldric]

BT + Chrome + unmentionable add-on, no problems at all

[Prudie]

^ and therein lies the answer

[woofgang]

well I wasn’t going to mention the unmentionable but.......

[bednobs]

are you saying it's the ads thst make the site un-runnable for some people?

[woofgang]

bedknobs, you might think that.....I of course couldn’t possibly comment,

For anyone who wants a browser where AB will load in a flash:
http://kmeleonbrowser.org/

I've installed it on my netbook. AB, and other 'content heavy' websites, (such as bbc.co.uk) now load almost instantly. The only website which presents a problem with it is Youtube, which says that my browser is no longer supported and tries to get me to download Chrome. However simply declining that offer leaves Youtube fully functional anyway.

Interesting. I am reluctant to try a new browser as I have both Chrome and Firefox and rarely have a problem. However, the more recommendations the better for those who do have difficulties.
