Today I have been facing frequent hangs in the CG IE windows.. Is anyone else experiencing the same? I usually open all threads in a forum and then browse them but it is even happening when I have 2 or 3 open.. There is nothing specific about the pages that freeze. Rest of the browsing is fine.
I use IE 6.0.
I've not had any issues using firefox. Ad performance seems normal (not high), so I'm not sure what the issue is.
Anyone else having trouble?
DEFINITELY YES, something is VERY wrong with these forums.
Firefox crashed so many times that I use only IE for being here. IE also stops responding after a few pages navigated. Maybe this has something to do with the flash plugin. I have all latest versions and patches for both IE, Windows and Firefox.
Yesterday I was browsing the forums for hours and I had to uninstall my Kerio firewall, because of constant crashes and disconnections. :mad:
I'll cross my fingers for this post to appear before everything is screwed up again.
EDIT: Like with the topic starter, problems seem to appear only when opening >1 pages.
More than one tab or more than one open window? (Just trying to run my system in the same manner....Quote:

Of course in Firefox I only use 1 window... that's the idea behind it. :)
Do the problems in IE happen only when CG is opened in multiple windows, or also with other websites?
I don't use IE anymore, but when I had issues with it in the past, clearing the cache often helped me... Just try it...
CG with multiple open windows. Not found this with other web sites.. will try that out..
I am facing the same problem I am using IE6.0.2900.2180 win xp sp2.
Suddenly IE freezes it happens only with CG site I have to kill IE in order get out from this freeze mode.
PS: just a shot in the dark, probably it has something to do with those ads :(
Cheers
If it is the ads then I would take a blunt guess to the AMD one. The one where you hover it occupies about one third of the screen and I need to hover out of that area to hide it. Just a guess, though.
I experience this sometimes. When opening CG my browser (IE6) just hangs. I thought it was just my pc but after learning that it's not just me who've experienced this... something must be wrong then :)
I think it's the atdmt site. Problems with two tabs both showing the same ad, I would guess.
I have the same problems (with the latest IE 7 beta), and AFAICT, it's always related to those new AMD ads. :mad:
See my separate thread on this topic. (If I ever manage to compose it, given the way those ****ing ads render my browser unusable... :rolleyes: :()
Well I disabled the Shockwave Flash activex from the "Manage add-ons" list and problem's gone. :)
The loss of Flash is not big deal since I only use IE for CG and MSDN. (MSDN pages are better displayed on my cell phone than on FireFox)
I have browsed Codeguru rigorously today with about 20 open windows... and no crashes or anything occured.. it is working fine..
Since I started this .. I thought I update on the status... Though I am not sure what has happened.. there may be changes from the CG side (ads modified/replaced/anything else) or the suggestion by Siddhartha worked!
Regards.
Sorry, I was wrong... it is still happening. :(
