Is it me...or is the site running painfully slowly again?

threads are taking an age to load and I think it's the ads causing problems as I keep getting "internet explorer cannot display the web page" in the wee add boxes.

My typing is also appearing in the box very slowly.....tis like watching a ghost writer in action!

Is it just me?

Yes! Me too...

I am also getting the same message as Coppertop but it's coming up as a security warning which I never like!

Have MNHQ not seen this yet?

Me too.

Ads are not loading - coming up as 'internet explorer cannot display the page' in the space where they should be. Slow to load as well, and 'back' button not working at all.

Virgin cable broadband, and windows vista on pc.

I'm about to give up and find another site. It's taking me 3 or 4 presses of the back button to get back to the list of threads, and it's infuriating. Please, please, please can we pay a fee and not have ads?

2shoesdrippingwithblood · 15/10/2008 15:12

aww meghalegs thanks
I nearly threw the pc out of the window

Mercy · 15/10/2008 14:57

Not quite so slow now.

I'm getting the same message as coppertop. The message box isn't showing the letters as soon as I type - it's a few seconds behind

GiraffeAHolic · 15/10/2008 14:41

I'm having trouble with the back button, takes 4 clicks to go back, no problem on other sites

Internet Explorer cannot display ads.

Page pretends to load then stays blank and have to refresh.

ARGGGHHHH

coppertop · 15/10/2008 14:37

No underlining in the message though. Not sure where that's come from.

coppertop · 15/10/2008 14:36

I'm getting the same message as Threadie:

Waiting for eas.apm.emediate.eas.cu+9714;cre=mu;target=<span class="underline">blank;isensereferer=http//eas.apm.emediate.eu/ea s?cu= followed by some numbers.

PsychoAxeMurdererMum · 15/10/2008 14:21

tis slow for me.....and all the ads keep coming up with 'cannot display webpage'.

mehgalegs · 15/10/2008 14:10

Oh tell a lie. It started again as soon as I posted.

mehgalegs · 15/10/2008 14:09

Flashy cursor has stopped and my computer is no longer whirring like a crazy thing.

southeastastra · 15/10/2008 13:53

what is that weird new explorer box at top and bottom too

ThreadieKrueger · 15/10/2008 13:49

Flashy cursor thing coincides with repeated flashing up of 'Waiting for eas.apm.emediate.eas.cu+9714;cre=mu;target=_blank...' (didn't get the rest)

dustystar · 15/10/2008 13:48

Its slow for me too and I have a block on the ads so i never see them. For some reason i am getting the internet explorer message though

Mercy · 15/10/2008 13:47

Very slow here too.

Will have to come back later I thinnk

PoppyCoc · 15/10/2008 13:47

I cant see the ads as it says IE cant dispaly the page - not much help eh!

Tamarto · 15/10/2008 13:44

Yoo Hoo MNHQ....are you there?

ThreadieKrueger · 15/10/2008 13:42

I'm getting big problems with slow-loading pages, cursor flicking to and from hourglass.

I notice the emediate web address flicking insanely at bottom of page: keeps saying it's contacting an emediate page again and again, v quickly.

Ad visible at side seems to be PCworld ad, but already loaded.

Clear as mud. Sorry not a tecchie.

Kaplumbagadort · 15/10/2008 13:41

Same problem here (Not AOL)
Ads are showing as IE cannot display the webpage.

All i have is a mini Boden small ad at the bottom and one the other side at the bottom which says As easy as tea and biscuits Apply now.

coppertop · 15/10/2008 13:41

When it's at it's slowest (2-3mins to load a page) the only adverts appearing are the tiny ones right at the bottom of the page (Boden and a car finance one). I'm using IE 7.

Tamarto · 15/10/2008 13:35

Ads on go slow page just now are welcome car finance, mini boden and PC world at the top using AOL so i think that = the same as IE

Hmmm. The server is feeling very laid back and cool as a newt in a puddle. Besides, slowness WITHIN your browser, locally to your computer (the cursor changing, slowness typing, the fan speeding up etc.) is definitely not a server issue. It all points to an evil ad.

We need to find the pattern of which ad(s) are causing the problem. When you're having the problems which (if any) ads are displayed? Keep in mind there are some at the bottom of the page too. Also, which browser you're using would be helpful info.
