there is an advert on active convos page which is stalling loading badly

[ZippiBabes]

..on my laptop andd my pc

It's the O2 ad, I think.

Whenever the O2 ad comes on, my PC locks up and I have to close the tab and re-oprn active convos.

The cheesy couple don't cause the same problem.

It's a shame that I am only aware of the O2 ad because it causes me problems! Not a very positive image for them (she says, as a customer since before they became O2!)

is that what it is - I thought it was particularly slow this morning

I've been getting some trouble with it too. Admittedly my PC dates from the 1950s.

Yes, very slow.

It is driving me mad. Never used to happen when the original and best tech was here............

Yip also driving me insane!

tis driving me mad as well.

Didn't realise it was an advert, but it's taking me forever to look at any threads.

I may have to turn the computer off

Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease sort it out before it comes to that!

It's very slooooooooow.

Here too, and I have a FAST connection

It's taking ages for me too - I will flag this up pronto.

me too - I'm running Firefox

I keep stopping and refreshing which seems to help, but I may be forced to go away and do something else unless it improves.

Oh well done - that's much better! Thanks

faster for me too.

phew!

thought I was going to have to either go to netmums or

do some

housework

faster for me too.

Spoke too bleeding soon. Tis still not working properly!!!!

aaarrggh!

Have clicked "post message twice already"

ah! it did work.

It just didn't tell me that it worked.

It's taking ages still.

We're getting the ad that we think responsible pulled. MIght take a while - seems to be ok when it's not currently showing, but then it comes back on rotation. Hopefully it has gone now or will have done soon.

seems to be ok now

Thank you.

I heart all the techs

ah thanks...yes it was on rotation i find when it does happen you have to stop and refresh again i have firefox on both

gone all slow again on mine.

Are you sure it was the O2 advert? It's happening with the BFC advert now.

Can't look at any threads. Got to this one by using the back button.

yes it is still crap even stopping and referweshing makes no difference it was with the o2 ad there tho

well it is still doing thius for me at any rate
