? website problems

Cloudyagain (Neale) · #1 26-01-2010, 10:31 AM

Has anyone been having problems with the IIS website? For the last few days while I have been looking around the forums my browser (IE8) "hangs" and displays "not responding". Other sites work OK and the frustration became so much that I have spent the last 2 days formatting my C drive and reinstalling everything. Now I am back up and running the same problem remains! The problem usually seems to occur when the bar at the bottom of the page displays "waiting for http:// googleads.g.doubleclick.net/pagead ........

Anyone any thoughts?

Neale.

Hi Neale
Noone else has reported any problems - I suspect it's just your setup somehow.

Have you tried using a different browser?

Are you sure you haven't blocked any sites with your firewall or javascript blockers etc?

I have the same problem and it is not just related to IIS so I have put it down to MicrosoftIE8 being Microsoft. Works well sometimes, does what it wants other times.

I must try something else Mozilla or Chrome.

Mike, I've noticed things being a bit erratic. It is not something new since the server upgrade.

It does not seem to be stuff on the IIS server. Mostly its the doubleclick links. NoScript could have something to do with it but I would expect that to be more consistent.

Firefox 3.0.15 running on Linux.

I can try running collecting some stats with Wireshark.

I favor Mozilla Firefox

I use Chrome exclusively

Love it, it's so fast.

Thanks Guys,

Downloading Chrome as we speak.

Have been using Chrome for half an hour now. It really flies and not one glitch! Even imported all my favourites from IE8. Highly recommended after this short time.

Thanks Mike.

I have also been having problems with the website jumping around. Opening pages that I have not asked to open and taking me in the wrong direction.

Hope it settles down.

It's not the website, it's not IceInSpace. There's been no change that could possibly do what you have described.

It's most likely your browser or local configuration.

Try a different browser, or if you are able to consistently replicate a certain behaviour, please give some more details.

I've heard that there are huge problems, internationally, with Internet Explorer.
It's been recommended that you cease using it for the interim.

I've been using Chrome since it first came out and have had no problems.

Except for the image of the Sun in the SOHO box. It has horizontal sun spots on it.

Looks the same in Firefox.

I had that yesterday too, looks fine today.
It would've been an issue with SOHO, as that's where the image comes from.

I changed yesterday to Firefox and still have the same not responding action happening....... I am running 32 bit windows7. The one thing I do notice is the Hard drive seems to drive continuously while the not responding message is up. Who knows what this is.

How old is the computer sometimes when the hard drive is constantly reading it could be failing but I would check for viruses first you might like to download and install Microsoft Security Essentials if you don't have one installed it could me some sort of malware that is using your internet connection to send itself to other computers and watch your private data it could be sending it out to its masters you may have a bot on your system spybot search and destroy is also a good program to download and install and run.
