Is The Forum Freezing Up?

[jon.a]

For the last several days, my browser (FireFox) has been acting up while visiting here. It freezes with a "not responding" error. Every couple of minutes and just for a second or two.

1. Is this happening to anyone else?
2. Have there been any recent changes?

Thanks guys for reporting this... I too was getting intermittent freezes and just chalked it up to my computer not being rebooted for weeks.

I put in a support request at VigLink to find out what's going on-- obviously, I can't reinstall this monetization tool if it is freezing the board.

VigLink is waiting for more forum rep speed before we respond. Click <$ Rep Transfer> on this post, and Vig Link will respond. We're like a chimp that claps cymbols for a peanut. You gotta put in the peanut.

Now about this Vig fellow.....

Don't worry, VigLink will soon be replaced by SchruteLink.

We at World Domination Inc. figured out that the best way to make money isn't to direct people to Amazon,
but to distract them with cat videos while we scale our business.

It's been happening with my Firefox browser also, but for several weeks. I thought it was my computer but it's only happening here on the forum.

I get a warning notice every 5 minutes that says "UNRESPONSIVE SCRIPT, A script on this page may be busy, or has stopped responding" script: http://cdn.viglink.com/api/vglnk.jS:28 (the last # changes each time it seems)

It then gives me options to debug, stop script, or continue. No matter what I push it just keeps happening.

I tried to post an image of what I am getting but for some reason the system is not letting me.

This thread gave me relief, I thought it was just my laptop cracking again.

So far the problem is gone (Firefox).

I always wondered if Viglink has something to do with @Vigilante 's passive income addiction?
You know, because of the name.

I wish.

 

[jon.a]

All better now. Thanks @MJ DeMarco

It's better since I bumped this thread. Maybe I just needed to complain.

 

[MJ DeMarco]

I deactivated the VigLink component, lets see if that has any effect.

Yes, this is happening to me when using firefox! I'm usually on other websites too so I wasn't exactly sure if it was this forum.

 

[jon.a]

I think I isolated it to here by closing all other windows.

 

[Gsuz]

Happens to me in Chrome as well, pressing F11 twice usually solves it for me

 

[MJ DeMarco]

looking into it...

I'm using Firefox, and it only happens on the home page. I get this error:



I'm using Windows 7 Professional X64.

 

[SenGracic]

No error messages but still freezing up under Chrome.

 

[AndrewNC]

Would this help?

Much better. Thanks MJ!!

Now about this Vig fellow.....

 

[RemedySC]

Firefox also and it's been happening frequently.

Yep, happening on chrome on my laptop and desktop. Seems to be only on the main page and not the individual thread pages.

I PM'd @AllenCrawley last week as that was when it started for me. Possibly something to do with a script on the front page as my CPU usage goes sky high when it freezes.

Yea, I think there is a script on the homepage that is hogging resources or timing out trying to make an external request. My CPU usage skyrockets when the page freezes.

Already notice a difference in speed. Also, normally 10-20 seconds on the home page and it would freeze and require a refresh but seems to be good now.

Looks like that took away the thread previews as well.

I deactivated that as well, not sure many like em anyhow.

I was having the same issues as everyone else but they appear to be resolved on my computer.

The front page is working well for me now--no problems. How about everyone else?

 

[theag]

Problem disappeared for me (Chrome).
Looks like the main issue was the viglink js, I saw an error for that in my JS console too 1 or 2 days ago.

 

[Sovereign]

viglink #19 is still causing unresponsiveness

I noticed my phone was running absolutely dog slow browsing the forum, both on my home wifi and 4G LTE out on the road. Very atypical.
