I have been having a problem with the forum recently but it is intermittent.
Every so often when I log on the page freezes and crashes the browser for 30s or so, then I get an error message saying that.
The following plug in is unresponsive
Shockwave flash player
Would you like to stop it.
I click yes and everything goes back to normal and I can read whatever was on that page, but as soon as I try to load another board thread I get the same thing again. This only happens on retrorides and other proboards forums, but always starts here. not on any other site and is very very annoying. It comes and goes with no warning. Does anyone have any ideas?

Well, the only thing on these pages that use flash are adverts, which generally shouldn't cause issues like these unless your PC is ex MG rover surplus or slow for other reasons (old OS install, malware infection etc)
Use Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox for a browser if you aren't already - and make sure flash is updated.
Since the problems is very likely down to adverts, if you are running a modern browser (basically anything other than internet explorer), install adblock, which blocks most adverts you'll see online. It's great to block malware and general CPU hogging curse word. Disable it on websites you use regularly that have adverts that don't give you grief, since they generally rely on ad revenue to survive.

Firefox IS the ISSUE here.
They have upgraded their plugin container.exe which is mean't to stop the browser crashing.
Unfortunately, it doesn't work. It simply sits there eating memory and cpu space until the browser crashes.

I'm using google chrome on a windows 7 PC and its only happening once every couple of weeks. Most of the time pages load almost instantly.
I also had the same problem with my Imac.

Chrome is also a horror for incompatibility - oddly enough chrome for windows is worse than chrome for mac...
IE is the most compatible browser and ime also the most stable.
IE9 is fast too.
chrome is the hardest to hack.
this is why my main pc has 3 browsers installed
personally id reinstall anything adobe on your computer.

Ive got Chrome, IE and Firefox all on this pc...
Have to as they all have their plus points. Chrome with adblock is nice and fast and very simplistic. Firefox I find better when i want the same thing but to be able to scroll accross the page (chrome wont allow this on various forums)
And IE i just use if the other two curse word about. Like how chrome has recently decided it only wants to open pages if i click refresh..
