Title: Forum is over run by ads!!!!
Post by: blueprada on February 20, 2012, 02:54:55 am: Hey team.
We have a forum with you guys, and in the last 48 hours the adds are getting beyond a joke.
it loads up the top half of the page above the ad box and then it wont load any thing else of the page, its getting seriously sh!t house to use....
you have to hit F5 (Refresh) like 5 times for the page to acually load..

Team can you please fix this? we cant use the site computer based now, only way of using the site is a forum app on our phones...

Thank you

All that loads on the page now is the banner.. nothing else loads, you have to refresh the page 4-5 times. then click back in the browser then forward again and 50% of the time the rest of the page loads.. its really not enjoyable..

Can we have this looked at and fixed please?

Is this happening to other members also? It may just be your browser and/or internet connection?

I would suggest clearing your cache and cookies (http://support.createaforum.com/7/%28guide%29-how-to-clear-your-browser%27s-cache/new/#new) to see if it makes a difference in your loading time.

Post by: aIURbliS on February 20, 2012, 04:05:10 am: Can we have a screenshot of what you're seeing? Also please list your internet browser and its version as well. Did you follow Seldom's advice and clear your cache?
Here's what I'm seeing:

Post by: blueprada on February 20, 2012, 04:18:26 am: yea but go through the menu`s

I cant screenshot here at work. its ****. and yes ive cleared my cache and cookies and its still happening.

Im using the new mozilla and an old version of IE. both are doing the same thing. i have tried it on my Samsung Galaxy s2 and its doing the same thing..
The other Admin on here is using a MAC and safari and he is getting the same thing.

After the banner loads up, nothing else on the page loads.
