Manageable on laptop, but bloody awful on ipad. I just start to read a thread, then it stalls & crashes. Annoying to say the least.

Getting this page quite frequently using Chrome on Windows 10, have to keep F5ing the page.

That looks like a 'clear your cache' job to me, I'm on Chrome/Win 10 and have never had that come up.

Have you tried changing your Chrome settings mate, as mentioned before?

Chrome > Settings > Advanced settings > Use hardware acceleration when available (deselect)

Yeh tried that and still got it so just cleared all cache etc and seeing if that helps.

I did that a few days ago and seemed to improve it, still a little bit slow though.

I keep getting a pop up when viewing this site on my android phone, both on chrome and other browsers, saying 'Rats! Webgl hit a snag'

Changing your settings should help mate:

Chrome > Settings > Advanced settings > Use hardware acceleration when available (deselect)

I can't seem to access that through Chrome advanced settings. I've opened it in the Developer options and Hardware acceleration is deselected but i still get the messages on chrome and the standard internet on my Samsung. It's no hardship for me, just raising it in case others get the same issue

I'm having trouble with a Maybelline banner Ad across the top which is slowing everything down big time. I'm using Chrome 51 on Windows 10, 64 bit both, there's a 'Waiting for atpixel.alephd.com' message down at the bottom.

Still the same after a full clean.

Thanks mate, just had the same issue myself. Will get the ad removed asap.

I know there was a thread somewhere on this recently but can't find it.
How do i stop the ads slowing, stuttering and freezing my lappy when i load a page? I think it's the video ads that do it.

Ric needs his moat cleaning which is why the ads are becoming more aggressive

There is a thread in the Technical Queries forum with some advice that might help.

On my phone it means I can't edit posts as the advert comes up over the submit button.

And being dyslexic I edit posts nearly every ducking time.

Are you using Chrome mate? If so, can you try this:

Chrome > Settings > Advanced settings > Use hardware acceleration when available (deselect)

Any chance you could send me a screengrab mate so that I can try to get it resolved?

My reply seems to have 'disappeared' in the thread merge, so I'll repeat...
Tapatalk is your friend. No adverts.
I know the site needs revenue but the amount and intrusiveness of the adverts makes visiting the site a right pain in the arse.
I hope this isn't against the TOC's, I'm just passing my opinion on to Blues who feel similar about the adverts.

Ta Ric, will try that tomorrow.

Can't bud. I can't post on tiny pic as its blocked out here and only have a vpn on my laptops.

But the blackbox down at the bottom (an add that never ever actually loads and just has a spinning wheel) stays in front of the submit button when I try and edit.
