Browser freezes loading main forum page

Ripplinger · 04-20-2011, 08:07 AM

Whenever I go back to the main forum page my browser totally freezes where I can't scroll down the page while it's loading like normal, the page is just locked for anywhere from 10-30 seconds. When watching what's loading in the bottom left, it always seems to hang on cdn0.4dots.com (this is the most common one it hangs on), cdn1.4dots.com, and edge.quantserve.com.

This doesn't happen once I select a subforum or any threads, only on the main page of https://www.mobileread.com/forums/index.php . I don't have similar issues at all on any other website, just here. I thought it might be since the update to Firefox 4, but it happens with IE as well.

Is anyone else experiencing this or have any suggestions how to stop it? It's becoming so annoying I try to avoid the main forum page because of it. I'm using WinXP SP3, Firefox 4 (rarely IE 8 just for testing like now), Kaspersky AV 2011, no software firewalls.

Are you logged in or not when your browser freezes? Does this make any difference?

To me, this happens regularly when I open this site before logging in. The browser - Opera here - needs some time to load the advertisements at the top. Being logged in the browser opens all sites very fast as there aren't any ads anymore.

never had that problem in IE or Chrome, logged in or not

I'm logged in. If it only happened when not logged in, it wouldn't be a concern to me at all. I've also tried disabling Kaspersky and that was no help either.

No problem here - Win7 FF4 Norton ....

I think I've pinned it down to a plugin I'm using for favicons. Really odd that it would cause the issue but when that one is disabled, the freezing up while loading stops.

Thanks for the input.
