    I can't scroll to the bottom of any page as the ads are causing hang-ups. Also, yesterday from my mother's computer I received a warning that this site wasn't safe. It might have been due to over sensitive settings on her virus protection, but I'm guessing it had something to do with ads as well.

    Sorry for the separate thread. I would have added it to an existing thread if I could have gotten to the bottom of one of the pages.

    Haven't had the problem until the last couple days.

    One ad in particular, "tag.context.web" seems to be the main culprit, although not the only one; another one called "scorecard.(?)" also happens often.

    We're talking up to 90 seconds, not insignificant. And it's definitely not my connection.

    Reloading the page helps sometimes, not always.

    This is still happening to me. It's happening at home now too. The latest Nike add completely prevents pages from loading. The top bar loads, then the Nike add, and that's it. I have to refresh multiple times until the Nike add isn't there to get any pages to load.

    Is this just my computer? I don't seem to be having these problems on any other websites. I'm not trying to pitch a fit here. I've gotten used to the adds, but it really bums me out when they prevent me from viewing the content here.

    Aw crap ads now on mobile version & taking forever to load. Not a fan of the banner ads but understand you need to generate some cash but tbh it looks horrible when it does load

    Sorry to Hijack the thread but since the ad's started to appear I can't use the mobile version of the site (which is how I access the site 90% of the time) - the ad's are preventing it from loading and when I manage to get it to load the pages are too far over to the left. Anybody know how to fix? I'M using Blackberry but every other site seems OK?

    There shouldn't be ads on the mobile site unless you are loading the full version of the forum.

    Will check into it.

    You might have to hang in there just a bit.

    Long story short, we've made the decision to migrate the forum to the latest version of our software. So we won't be doing any more work on current site functionality unless it's absolutely crucial.

    We hope to have this done within a week. So bare with us.

    Thank you for your patience! :)
