(almost) endless loading Thread

well, recently when i'm loading a page on this site, it tends to go into a seemingly endless loop of loading from ad sites (tribalfusian and ad.doubleclick.net, among many others) this loading from ad sites (that really don't have anything to do with the site's content) usually transform the usual loading of the page in 1 second(literally) to a 3 minute load time, most of which seems to be spent loading a simple ad banner.

It happens here too on Seamonkey. Before this happens it also tells me that flash had a general error and I should restart the browser.

Indeed the site loading times are sometimes a little annoying. Though I blame my wireless internet connection over the adverts. Though oddly enough I can't seem to get rid of the ads on my laptop, but my computer has none of them.

it does this about 80% of the time.

btw...wtf is seamonkey?

Seamonkey is an alternate browser based on Firefox.

We know about this problem, and are trying to work out the exact reason it happens. Even the staff are sometimes bugged by it, so we're doing the best we can to get it sped up.

ah, ok thanks. good to know you're working on it

Does this happen on all pages or only particular pages? I have noticed this myself and agree with your frustration so i am working on it right now.

It may have something to do with the fancy text-editor, thats what i'm trying to establish

I assumed it was periodic. I seem to be unaffected earlier in the morning (until around 10am GMT), but throughout the day it's there.

Ok, there is a fix hopefully coming in the next couple of days. Testing IFRAMES, which will make page load virtually instantly

Hope so since the site is basically unusable in the meantime.
