Note:

This is based off this thread: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=144947&page=1#

I re-opened it since I'm getting the issue again.

(ioi, could you leave this open until it's confirmed resolved if that's okay with you?)

Hey guys, it would appear that certain ads are causing some divs in the page to stop loading or take lots of time to load.

The hot topic section appears black and I can't navigate its links.
The thread posts don't load beyond the first set of thumbnails for the external news items.
In a reply, similar to the previous item, it takes forever for the rich-text editor to load after the html populates in the post text area.

This started happening today.

Thanks guys

Here is a manipulated screen of what I saw. If I reproduce it I'll give a real screenshot:

Hmm... it must be an isolated problem then. I haven't had it.

The auto-play of those videos a few weeks back was really getting on my wick. Stopped after a couple of days though.

Haven't noticed any slowdown so far.

I have never tried. I never have more than one tab up at a time. Keeps things simple.

That's surprising since you seem to be everywhere at one time.
