Lockups, Whitescreens and long loading times with new ads?

Post by pretre »

So, there seems to be some sort of ad loading at the bottom of the page (below the forum) that locks up my iPhone and causes out of control process time on my desktop... Is anyone else experiencing something like this?

There should not be an ad below the forum. If you have one, something is injecting it into the page, either a virus or middleman.

Th S is my iPhone, which shouldn't have a virus, has no vpn. It is possible there's some sort of weird man in the middle on my network but unlikely.

The page extends way past the end and occasionally posts ads. It's really weird.

Well it's not my local network. Just shut off wifi and got the same.

Might be someone sitting on your ISP or ours, or in between.

I might ask for our host to give us a new IP when I get back from vacation.

Using Firefox at work and home.
I never see ads at the bottom of the page.

It's gotta be something network related. I can't get my cellular network to do it again.

Yeah, something is detecting the page enroute, finding the bottom and injecting an ad, that shouldn't be there.

I don't know what we can do about it, but I'll mention it to our hosting service and see what they can do.

Hmm. It looks like it may be infected cookies. Stranger and stranger.

My main machine is Freebsd running firefox and started experiencing the same problems. I cleared cookies for BT and so far so good.

I'm hoping it stays. My desktop seems to be okay right now.
