Hmmm... new problem? Also noticed the toolbar isn't working when posting, nor are avatars.

I've been having this problem for the last 2 weeks on Chrome.
Like button stopped working. All the dropbars at the top of the page stopped working. All options in the toolbar went away, so I can only quick-reply.

Switched to Firefox and it works fine. If anyone knows what the problem is though, I'd like to know. I presumed it was my computer.

@EleGirl

The underlined "your notifications" 'button' next to subscribe.

@Kivlor

I'm using firefox, and I can reply but not quick reply.
Well... I suppose that just leaves one option: Purify the machine with fire >:)

Solution to problem

Turn off your ad blocker. Mine was doing the same until I turned it off. If you do not have an ad blocker then check your setting to allow popups.

Re: Solution to problem

That doesn't help for me.

I wish I didn't need an add-blocker here, but the adds are so slow and intrusive that I find the site literally unusable without it. I"m on a fairly new computer with a fast connection, but the adds are overwhelming.

After dealing with the white page problem by installing ad block, I'm again having similar difficulty in that I cannot access my notification and the key board, only at TAM, is very sluggish and unresponsive. Avatars are missing, form fields while quoting are empty (no bold, underline, italic; no color or size, no attachment...) and the like button is unresponsive. Also, the submit button is unresponsive so I have to click Advanced and then click submit.

I turned off Adblock as suggested up thread and it did nothing.

IPad Air, safari, updates current.

I use Opera (Blink layout engine) and it's built-in adblock squirreled things up.

Turned it off, added the adblock extension, things are good again.

Whao... so I turned the ad-blocker off... and whaaaaooo... I never seen the site get this slow... like seriously, a HUGE difference, with ads the site crawls at around 5-10% speed. It's an overload!

... but, the notifications/quick reply work again! ... after waiting 10-20 seconds for the site to unfreeze itself from the overload of ads!

Just wow! What the heck happened recently?

This is the stupidest thing ever... I turned off my Ad Block, (Im on Firefox) and now I can like and see my notifications, but the site is so bogged down, I can hardly navigate it! The admins need to make it so that those of us who are forum supporters DONT GET ADS!! This is ridiculous!!
 
#29 ·
Wow, even forum supporters too? Well... there goes any consideration to subscribe to block ads... "less advertising" it says, also noticed the price for subscription has jumped up to around 10x more or some such.

At those prices it's only fair that at the very least supporters receive NO ADS. The current state of the forum without ad-blocker is simply non-functional, and with ad-blockers functions remain limited. Never seen a forum this messed up actually by the cycle, this is the worst case I've seen in years.

Hard to understand why I haven't experienced the same thing as others. I've been on here a few times in the last 24-48 hours alone without problems. I've been using adblock and my anti-tracking enabled. The only thing I may do different than others is that I use the old classic skin setting. Weird.

Hey Guys

Something changed with adblocker and us that made them have a compatibility issue, but we have a work around. Now, the way to do is differs from adblocker types and browser types, but the basic first step is to white list "verticalscope" in your adblockers setting and you'll be able to use it on the site with all the features working again.

If you are having difficulties, please specify what browser and adblock combo you have running.

I must be in the small minority but I never had any of the problems described in this thread.

Using AdBlock Plus and Firefox.

My only (unrelated) problem is this site loves to arbitrarily log me out. Not a big deal but when it happens 10-15 times a day, well................

Whether or not you are logged in or not is controlled by cookies. So it could be that you browser is set up to not allow cookies from the site, or is clearing them too regularly. Check your settings, and if they are good then it could a corrupted cookie file causing it, so try cleaning out cookies and cache for your browser.

Its the video adds that make the site unusable. There is generally no way to stop them once they are running and they interfere with text entry. If the admins could eliminate them, I wouldn't need add block

Its their website, their rules - but this is bad enough that it risks driving people away, and once they go a lot will never come back even if the site is fixed. I've seen other sites become ghost towns.
If you could turn off your adblocker and then check to see if there are any messages along the bottom of your screen while those ads are loading, it could point us in the right direction to identify which ad service is causing the troubles

No messages on the bottom of the screen (firefox). Problems on nearly every page. This page has an unstoppable video add in the upper right ("now playing") and a flash add lower right. The "now playing" add seems to be the most intrusive - when it briefly shows a fixed image, performance improves

Try ublock. I allow this domain and do not see any ads at all. I never knew this website has ads. This is new to me. I have both ad blockers turned off and still see no ads.

I think i just recreated this when I came to see your reply. Page was working fine for me, but the tab showed it never finished loading.

This was the message that kept popping up while this was going on. Would alternate between this and something else that would change pretty often. Next time you get this, can you check if you see the same "adaptv" message at the bottom of your screen. Won't matter where on the page you are, should still be at the bottom of your screen
