slow loading pages

In the last couple of days, the "Talk" pages are loading really slowly. Occasionally the page that lists all the topics locks up, and I get a message - something about a long-running script.

In addition, the back button now takes TWO clicks to work... maybe it is stopping the script? Who knows.

I am using a desktop with Windoze 7 and IE9. I have multiple ad blockers and cookie blockers.

Me too. It's that ups and downs advert that does it.

I wait patiently screaming fuck off fuck off and then go to FB.

It's driving me mad.

yes, I'm getting the 'long-running script' message too. Have had it for a couple of weeks.

Also. some of the threads will not open e.g. The Apprentice thread - can't access it via Telly Addicts or via Discussions of the Day. It just opens a blank page.

Yup, just clicked the back button: didn't work. I bet the second click would take me back to the main topics page.

Today, I didn't notice how long the main topics page took to load. I've become accustomed to clicking, and then getting a coffee refill, because the page is so slow.

I suspect my cookie-blocker is blocking your script, which is holding up the page-load.

I'll keep an eye on it.

Oh dear. Is this still happening to you, CanadianJohn?

That error message is "mumsnet.com is not responding because of a long-running script"

Also, when the page locks up and I ask IE to recover it, sometimes I get this message:

"We were unable to return you to mumsnet.com.
Internet Explorer has stopped trying to restore this website. It appears that the website continues to have a problem."
