Anybody Else Having Problems Posting?

Almost every time I try to post, at the moment, my computer freezes-up and I have to close my browser and try again; anybody else having similar problems?

I think it is something to do with the adverts that are being run? :confused:

I use a PC running Win7 and Firefox, via Plusnet

No problem here touch wood. Could have been problems in some areas with lines being underwater in flooded regions maybe ?

May also just be weight of traffic?

I doubt it; never had this problem at all until yesterday.

It has taken me five attempts to post on another thread this morning but this post worked first time.

I wondered if it was something to do with me using an older version of Microsoft Internet Explorer and the adverts being designed for newer versions? I’m loathed to ‘upgrade’ as every time I do so the new version seems to work slower and crash more often than the old! :rolleyes:

No problems so far, using either my Mac or iPad version 1.

On my Laptop, no trouble at all, also same on my Ipad 1, however, my wifes Ipad 2, frequently loses the tinternet, between 21.00 and 12 MN. However she uses her Ipad a lot more than I, as I prefer the Laptop, which incidently is a Toshiba.

Not too many problems here, apart from when it’s a maintenance issue.

I wonder if it could be a cookie issue ?. As recently new regulations came out
about websites dumping cookies on your computer. They now have to tell
you that this may happen. If you have cookies blocked, this might slow things
down. I know it does on my local newspaper’s forum.

May also just be weight of traffic ?

I’m getting this with my Ipad on here and another site.

Working on my PC with Firefox no issues

Same here. Often virtually impossible to post recntly, and screen freezes when I click to view a post or thread.

On the other hand, never had a problem posting! My only quirk seems to be that occasionally, usually Monday mornings, the Forum isn’t ‘available’.:)

This forum often crashes my browser – I suspect it is some sort script due to the adverts

Same here, but, thankfully, not every time; I get it, occasionally, on another site, too.
