Home Page script issue

[James48843]

Just an FYI Tom-

For some reason, this morning, when I pull up the main page at TSP Talk - Thrift Savings Plan , my browser sits and chugs for a while, and then locks up for a while, and gives me a message saying there is a scrit error, and asks me if I want to stop the script.

I did not notice it yesterday- but it happens every time today.

Not on the forum pages, only on the main home page.
Not sure what it is, but I thought I would post this and see if anyone else was having the same issue.

I'm running an older version of IE (8) at work.

Thanks
Jim

Ditto here Tom,

Trying to isolate it! So I can give a better report.

Is it still happening? I've tried a couple of browsers and it seems to be OK. I wonder if Facebook was having an issue? Or maybe it is a browser setting I'll have to look into.

Keep me posted. Thanks!

It is, maybe a version/script issue on this version @ work.

I am still having the issue.


Frixx has more info there than I am getting.

All I can see is this:

No more data than that.

My browser justs hangs there until that message pops up.

It looks like the Facebook link when the graphic tries to load on my page......Not sure if it's the page or if it's the network firewalls causing the script timeout....

I wasn't getting the script error at home this morning.

Just found another site that stops responding, Tom. I think it's the package that ads are being presented. Appears that when a specific ad is presented, the Java version I have is causing a script to hang (on present object) and not continue.

I'm testing Java versions now.

No problems on your site today Tom! FYI!

 

[tsptalk]

Thanks for the feedback. I did edit the facebook link and that seemed to help.

Tom,

I've been having this same script causing the Adobe Flash Player to run slowly issue for about 4 days. Had not seen it prior, searched and found this thread from July. I'm fairly sure it has to do with a Facebook link because I can see the "thermometer bar" at the bottom of the screen showing loading status saying it was waiting on ....Facebook.... This disappeared and the page finished loading once I clicked to stop the script. I'm on IE8. I also tried using Firefox and have almost same problem.

 

[turbo23dog]

Firefox is reporting that the page at http/ad.doubleclick.net is causing the problem....

It seems to be related to one or all of of the ads that have motion in them.

 

[tsptalk]

I have seen that on some internet pages, but I just checked and I am not getting it currently on the TSP Talk home page on IE, Chrome, or Firefox. Perhaps a browser and / or security software setting or version?

Do you use Avast? I found this, which suggests making sure you are using the latest version... http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=124809.0

Please post any findings. Thanks!

No issues using the recent Firefox Version 24

Doubleclick. Ha! I used to get rid of that one with Adaware.
Everything looks good to me with WaterFox.

Google now runs Doubleclick.

Glad I found this thread. My computer at work has the same problem. It runs IE8. The error message says:

Adobe Flash Player
A script in this movie is causing Adobe Flash player to run slowly.
If it continues to run, your computer may become unresponsive.
Do you want to abort the script?
Yes No

If anyone has suggestions on how to keep if from hanging up, it would be much appreciated.

I assume you don't have the ability to upgrade your own software at work, but I'd be curious to see if the latest and greatest version of Adobe Flash worked. It seems to be Google's Doubleclick ads that are using it so it's not really a code issue, but rather some kind of compatibility with the browser and Flash.

i'm getting the same msg. Asking about aborting script. Happens every minute or so....when going to another thread, etc

You're saying it happens in the forum for you? Hmmm, that kills my doubleclick theory.
