the problem turned out to be IE terminating the script do to it running slow.  Once I closed the browsers and reloaded the site they were back up.

Interesting. I'm glad that the browser just killed the script and showed you the site without it, instead of just making the whole site run slowly for you. Has anyone else noticed any slowing issues?

The forum sure seems to be going slowly for me.  But I don't know if that's the forum or me.

Not sure.  At least today.  It might be worth noting that no ads are showing up for me anywhere.

Mine's doing the same thing.  I haven't had any ads since yesterday.  And I didn't even mind them that much.

If you're using Firefox there's a chance they won't show up, Firefox has an add blocking feature that when turned on will not display Google and other like adds.


The Slowness of the forum could be lots of things, like that it's a text based file system that's gotten very bogged down (that's why we got a beta forum running somewhere else that we'll eventually switch over too).  I notice the forum is much slower on my lappy then my pc due to the internet connection and pc speed.  It's hard to know exactly what's causing the problem without more details.

I use Firefox and see ads. Perhaps I don't have the no-ad plugin, though.

Easy way to test.  Go to pvponline or any other of a million sites that regularly have Google ads, then see if your browser removes them from those pages too.  That way, we can know if it is something particular about the coding of this site, or if you really do just have a plug-in that stops the ads from appearing.
