I usually wouldnt mention it, but I can hardly post anything without my browser locking up due to bad scripts / ads on the page. Its not a performance issue its bad programming. Its so bad I have to "stop" the page from loading to type (spinning loading wheel).

Its happening on my IE at home and at work. There is always a black box "bad ad" at the right of my screen that flickers....Its a bit annoying, wondering if anyone else was experiencing the same issues.

Took me way to long to type this with all the "locking up" when typing here in the message box.

Me too and I have the best surfing computer on the planet. But FM has been a bucket of schitt today...

Mine is absolutely fine as usual using Firefox.
Never have annoying ads or pop ups.

Nothing here. Another vote for Firefox.

Get add blocker for firefox and enjoy the interwebs in peace

Yes, the Add Blocker Plus add-on for Firefox will eliminate most pop-up ads here and on other sites. Highly recommended.

Dudes you don't understand, I NEVER have ads show up, but those two day's FM was a crap shoot from the first ten minutes.
My browser has never let me down, it must have been a site glitch, because it cleared up a day later and my computer had no changes made to it.

Re: FM ads crashing browser, locking up

Agreed - I use Firefox with addons (NoScript, AdAware, Ghostery and TACO) and never get ads of ANY kind, cloud search boxes or anything. Awesome. But, like FE, I have been hit with a bunch of errors like the one below.

Also on a side-note, I have an iPad for work that I use to check here from time-to-time. I cannot get FM to stop a pop-up on EVERY page that they "Have a new iPad app!" I can't get it to go away and I can't DL the app on this company device. GRRRR!!!
:bicker:

What's all this about?:

Speaking of using Firefox with addons, below is a screen shot off my work laptop. It's a bit different on each machine and operating system, but the effect is the same. A huge benefit is drastically improved loading time with the pages not having to retrieve the ads from all over the planet. I don't mind the ads as much as the slow loading time. I also turn the ads on from time-to-time and click on several to give the site some advertising money.
