Gluten Free Forum Will Freeze

[Simona19]

For the three weeks now I have been having trouble with this forum. When I receive the e-mails from celiac.com, and press at the link to see posts, my internet explorer will freeze. It's like this with every other e-mail. Some are ok, but others not.

Also when I'm trying to replay to posts the same thing will happen. I don't know why.

When I work on other things, or google something everything is ok.

What is wrong?

Tough to say. There are potentially many possible reasons. When it happens as you try to reply, does it freeze while you are typing, or only when you click the button to get the reply form? Have you tried a different browser? Have you checked to make sure your browser has all applicable patches and updates?

Depends what browser you're using, sometimes when a script is enabled (like Java) used to display adds or video images it can slow your computer down.

Best to change browsers to Firefox noscript, you can allow manually script from sites that are safe.

Hi!

It will happen when I'm in my inbox trying to check the post that was send to my e-mail address. I will klick on the link associated with the post, and my Internet Explorer will come on, but will freeze imediately. I can't even close the explorer afterwards. When I go to celiac. com, and try to reply to posts everything is ok. From my inbox isn't.

Three times it happened when I finished typing, and clicked the button Proceed, or Add Reply. Is this some virus issue?

no, it sounds like Internet Exploder.

Wow, I didn't know anyone was still trying to make that work. Is your Exploder updated with the latest version that will work on your computer ?

Try the firefox browser.

Try the firefox browser.

Different browsers have different characteristics. Exploder uses a lot of memory, and is prone to unexpected freezes. It is the one I usually use to access this site since there are some things I need that don't work in FireFox. I have recently begun using Google Chrome for some things, and it has a different feel, but seems to be more efficient. I once used Netscape, but abandoned it when I discovered FireFox.

As said, IE is my normal brower to access this site, and is curently my default browser (it is the one that will launch if I click on a link In an email). I have not seen the situation tht you describe.

I use Safari but still get the spinning rainbow at times (I'm guessing that's the equivalent to freezing). Then I switch to Firefox or restart my computer. Frequently I lose what I've written when i try to preview it or if I want to go to another page to copy something to add (like an emoticon). I hide the window of the page I'm typing (yellow button in the top left corner of Safari) and that seems to help. It can be frustrating but this forum is worth all of the frustration in the world. It's been a lifesaver for me!!
