Shortbus Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 (edited) Hello. I'd like to state a problem on the forums I've gotten just recently (like last night and this morning). I get this when viewing some topics, and I think it may be the .gif advertisements at the top and bottom of the page, but I am not sure. This problem causes firefox to freeze for a few moments, and then when the error finally comes up, it doesn't matter if I click yes or no, FX crashes everytime. I was viewing the "Will my PC handle GTA 4" topic at the time of that photo. Thanks in advance. -This glitch happens whenever I scroll over any of the advertisements that appear at the bottom of the website, I have just found out (It never fails). The top ones don't seem to cause problems. Edited October 28, 2008 by Shortbus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerard Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 This will be one of the adverts on the site doing something a bit complicated, and your PC might not be able to handle it. Either that or the advert could be broken (if it does it for everyone). We have no direct control over the adverts (save of removing them altogether), but we can request that dodgy ones don't get shown. If you get that message, just click yes to stop that script. If it happens to lots of people, we'll try and figure out which advert is causing the problem, and try and solve it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortbus Posted October 28, 2008 Author Share Posted October 28, 2008 It isn't my computer, I'm pretty sure my computer can handle a simple .gif. >_> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerard Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Who said anything about an animated gif? This is just a dodgy flash script that's probably loading far too much data into RAM, and your PC is complaining about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deji Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 My crappy 512MB PC is fine! Suck on that (Note to anyone who may take offense: It's a joke) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortbus Posted October 28, 2008 Author Share Posted October 28, 2008 Yeah well I have 3GB of RAM, I know that doesn't mean some buggy script can't make it "complain". It seems only the History channel advert is doing it now >_> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deji Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 have you tried internet explorer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 You could try upgrading to flash player 10. We're not responsible for any of the flash adverts shown on the website so unfortunately there's nothing I can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
