Ygrain Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 2 hours ago, Consigliere said: More than likely, it is just a false positive. McAfee's online threat intelligence shows the site is safe. This site checker uses McAfee's SiteAdvisor API and shows that no Firewall is detected - this is probably what's causing the false positive. Alright. Thanks for checking up. @Ran Sorry for the false alarm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedEyedGhost Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 The past three days the site has been crashing regularly for me. It starts with my macbook air or pro getting very hot, the fan spinning on high and then the inevitable crash. In the bottom left corner of chrome it shows waiting for an endless scroll of ads. This post is taking forever to process as I type. Will be turning adblocker back on for a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ran Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 That sounds bizzare to me. Yes, there's a few script calls as an ad is served, but this should not under any circumstances be taxing your computer. Have you tried clearing out your caches? It may be you've a corrupted cache file that's getting called on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The board freezes up, can't type or do anything and I have to close the tab. Cleared cookies and cache. Even when the board doesn't crash, the fan kicks in and CPU and memory usage start going way up. It stops when I close Westeros. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ran Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 If you see any ads that seem to be in common with these issues, do report them. We need something more to go on, because I personally don't ever get this issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The board freezes, I can't scroll up or down or refresh the screen (Ctrl+F5 doesn't help). I have to close the window and open it up again. I can't actually see the advert that might be responsible.

Buckwheat Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 (edited) What happened to the multiquote button? For a few days now - I don't remember since when exactly - I only have the option to click "quote", but not the "+" button beside it (that place is blank, it seems like nothing is missing) to save multiple posts and then quote them all at once. Is the multiqoute temporarily switched off? Is it coming back? EDIT: Okay, weird. I think I just saw my multiquote button on my own post - this one - right after I edited it, but not on other posts on the same page. Then I refreshed the page, and it was no longer here.

Ran Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 As you say, still here. My guess is you have a corrupt copy of the scripts. IF you can clear your cache and restart your browser, it should work okay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckwheat Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 (edited) Nope, not here ... I deleted the browsing history and agreed to cookies on this site, still no multiquote button in this thread. It is there on my phone, though. Edited May 4, 2018 by Buckwheat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ran Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 What browser are you using, and what operating system? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckwheat Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Mozilla Firefox, Windows 8. Now I also tried to use Chrome, and it is here and it works normally on that one. 13 hours ago, Ran said: What browser are you using, and what operating system?

Ran Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Hmm, interesting. I am on Firefox as well, though Windows 10, and not seeing this issue. I'll try and do some research and see if there are any other reports along these lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turns out it was one of the filter lists in uBlock origin that was causing the problem. Changing to another filter (Fanboy's Enhanced Tracking List) solved the problem.

I cannot find a way how to change these filter thingies, but I added this site to the list of sites that uBlock ignores, and I have the button back now. Thanks for the tip.

If you ever want to just change the filter but keep ad blocking on, click on the uBlock Origin icon on the toolbar and select the option to open the dashboard (first icon from the right in my case). In the Dashboard tab, select "3rd party filters". Under "Privacy" heading select "Fanboy's Enhanced Tracking List", deselect "EasyPrivacy" and/or "Aguard Spyware Filters" and click "Apply Changes". I've found that those two filters are a bit too aggressive. Edited May 5, 2018 by Consigliere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedEyedGhost Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Content irrelevent. New forum doesn't show who you're quoting or when it's from, and that's pretty annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HexMachina Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Does the upgrade not have a mobile skin? The normal version is running slow on my iPad and I can’t seem to find a way to change it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
