I am sorry...I don't mean to sound complaining...it is just that it is awful.

Something is very wrong.

I completely agree, it is awful today. I typed 2 replies to threads that never posted, and takes so long to load I give up.

I agree that it seems at least partially due to the ads. The page often loads with an error that says something like "google.ads.blahblahblah permission denied." I thought there was either a rogue advertisement or a new browser security computer setting. I recently upgraded to Windows 7 64 bit, and I am still working out some kinks.

Even if the ads aren't different, is it possible the code they are using has been updated?

It hasn't been too bad here lately.
I blocked the ads last night and I'm liking that.

How did you block them? I tried to edit the host file but it won't let me. I left a message for my son, but he has not called back yet.

Call me suspicious, but I am thinking this is a google ploy to push their browser. Wonder how many sites and/or browsers are having issues with their ads?

I use Adblock throgh Firefox.

No help if you use IE.

Ellie May · 04-21-2010, 12:14 PM

Ok, switched computers (both Macs). I was on the newer one. Now I came to the older and did the same adblock thing and it isn't working nearly as well. So that is odd. Maybe my new one is a lot faster than what I had thought.

I just spoke with my son...he said he does not believe it is google ads. It would be illegal for them to do anything. He is going to check from his pc when he gets home to see what I am talking about.

I want to just stop the ads to see if it helps. If not, then who knows? I just know it is nearly impossible today to post anything. I have restarted my browser at least 15 times and have been asking myself WHY I am doing that. hah Also, YT has been down at least four times that I know of....just dropped. *sigh* Wish I could help fix it.

It is slower on this one, but not nearly like what you are describing...yet.
That has got to be miserable.
Come to think of it, our HP may have done that on YT when I was still using it (a couple weeks ago) and maybe the old Mac also. It would just go down for 5-10 minutes at a time and nothing would make the page change...just had to come back later.

ladyjane · 04-21-2010, 12:43 PM

This is a new computer. I have tried four in my house now with the same results.

Good luck....I don't think blocking the ads has anything to do with it. Last night was horrible, I finally gave trying to send a couple of PM's that I really did need to get sent out. Today has been just a little better but still having delays.

Probably not....but, I am going to try.

BellaMoon · 04-21-2010, 01:42 PM

we are all having problems!!! yikessss I hope it gets better soon :0

Krystee · 04-21-2010, 03:46 PM

I use a brand new mac with safari and I have been having the same problems but fortunately it only has been happening occasionally. I just figured that more people have been on since the launch of the YT mobile and that's why it's going slower. Since it's happening to so many people it's obvious it's the website and not anyone's computer.

ladyjane · 04-21-2010, 03:51 PM

It is the database. Nothing to do with anyone's computer. Hopefully they will find the problem and fix it.
