Hi,

experiencing a problem that has appeared in the last 5 minutes or so -a forum page / thread loads, the content flashes up briefly, page continues loading according to address bar and then goes completely blank (white) when it has finished loading. Had to navigate here via quick usage of the stop button to stop the loading after the content had appeared. It could be something to do with an advert I guess but I can't tell because all I see is a white screen...

ive also had a similar issue on Firefox, looks like its something to do with ads.revsci.net.

i seem to have cured it by blocking cookies from that address and using adblock to block anything else from similar addresses.

Only seems to happen on Pistonheads tho.

Same on all fronts fellas

some dodgy scripting is to blame, if you have AdBlock, use it.

Same problem here, forums won't load either unless I visit the mobile site.

I'd better do some work...

I had the same with Firefox - IE6, however, is OK.

IE8 is OK for me. Firefox is not, it stalls waiting for ads.revsci.net.

Same here on Opera. Page loads for just a moment then blank page and status bar says "Loading Data from s0.2mdn.net" for a few seconds. Hit back and 9 out of 10 times the desired page displays.

Disabling Jave sorted it in Firefox. Unfortunately none of my other pages now work.

Very frustrating! (Another Firefox)

I'm getting a strange shaking, suffering anxiety attack and generally worried.

Will I have to do work instead?

If on firefox, get this:

http://adblockplus.org/en/

safari get this:

http://burgersoftware.com/en/safariadblock

Then go and block:

js.revsci.net
yieldmanager.com

and away you go....

Im not sure how to fix IE.

There seems to be a rogue ad call coming through which we are looking into.

What do you do once you've downloaded the safari adblock please?


I installed it, and now can't find anything to do with it apart fromn the box png on my desktop, which just tries to install it again.


Hmmmm, there was me thinking Macs were simple!!

Help! smile

awww. Don't fix the ads. I've been enjoying them not always loading an ad, speeds things up wonderfully. I considered saying something then thought...nahhh why cut of my nose.
