VENT: Does this discussion board make anyone else's web browser crash regularly? It is not uncommon for me to be typing in here, and my browser freezes up - all windows - and I have to restart it. For the second week in a row, it has done this as I'm typing up my long training blog entry.... and of course if I restart the browser, I lose everything I've been typing. SO FRUSTRATING!

It's probably just the specific lucky combination of my laptop + web browser + whatever else...but geez,

This is the website it happens most often with, and honestly, it's not where I spend most of my time in my web browser, so it seems like there's something "special" about it.

The ads are getting to be an issue for me. I exclusively use my iPad or iPhone and the stupid ads take up half the screen. I can use Safari's "Hide Distracting Items" tool to make them disappear until I refresh the page, but that's it.

This is my iPad view before I hide the ads

@avondale Yes. This website runs so slow on my laptop and it crashes often on my phone. It’s super annoying.

A few years ago (??), it used to do that to me and also all the pop up ads, so I started using a different app web browser specifically for this website that blocks all the ads and it works much better!
I’m sure there are others out there, but I use Ghostery.

YES! I have tried to update my blog like 4 times and this keeps happening! So frustrating!

I have to close this browser window when I'm not using it to prevent problems. For me, this site is a drain on system resources. Checking right now, it's taking almost 2 GB of RAM, more than any other tab I have open.
