Main Page Freezing?

Main Page Freezing?

I don't know if anyone else has had this, but recently the main page has been making IE freeze on me. It never did this to me before. I want to say it started after the new look got slapped up there.

It's not a problem if I remember to go directly to the forums, but I thought you should know-- wouldn't want to put off new people.

Same problem, mods?

Re: Main Page Freezing?

Which version of Internet Explorer are you using? Also, which OS? Everything seems good to me on IE6, IE7 and IE8 using Windows Vista.

It sometimes crashes me at college, we use IE6 on XP.

Re: Main Page Freezing?

How long has this problem been occurring for? Do you get any error messages at all?

 

[Firis]

Re: Main Page Freezing?

No error messages, just "Windows Internet Explorer is nto responding" and IE freezes, I noticed it the first tiem I tried it on my Grannies Vista, about 3 weeks ago, thought it was a fluke.

Re: Main Page Freezing?

Yeah, no error, just the "not responding" deal. We have... XP, I'm pretty sure, and I THINK version 7, but I'm not sure.

And it's very intermittent. It'll work fine one visit, freeze the next.

Re: Main Page Freezing?

It's annoying...

That's why I go directly to the forums now.

Re: Main Page Freezing?

Sorry for the double post, but I just noticed that you gave me rep (projectego).

What for?

It says that it came from this thread 0.o

Thanks anyway <haha>.

A pic of what happens:



Not much as you see. Just the not responding, and the downloading thing at the bottom.

Could you post a screenshot of the problem for me please? Also, does it freeze every time you visit the homepage or just sometimes?

Very odd... Would you be able to take a screenshot too, please?

I've given rep out to pretty much everybody in this thread for reporting the error.

I'm not sure I'm understanding the problem - does the homepage crash/hang on you each time you visit?

=========

Guys, could you all visit this page and let me know if the problem continues: http://www.projectego.net/fable-3/

Edit: This page too: http://masseffectx.com/

I have a few theories as to what might be causing the problem; the biggest one being the featured content slider.

I really appreciate the help guys. If there's anything else you can think of that might be relevant then do please post it. It's obviously a big problem if certain visitors are unable to access the site.

Re: Main Page Freezing?

^It's not each time, but very often. It crashes, then I have to do ALT+CTRL+DEL and end the process of iexplorer.exe to get out.

It's not happening at the fable 3 page (the one you posted).

 

[Steve]

Re: Main Page Freezing?

Does the problem occur here: http://masseffectx.com/ or http://assassinscreedx.com

I've temporarily disabled the content slider on the homepage, could you please check again for me? http://www.projectego.net

I really appreciate all the help by the way.

Edit: If everybody could check those links and respond to the thread then it would really help.

Re: Main Page Freezing?

I haven't witnessed it happen on the pages you psoted yet Ego, can't screenshot, basically what Daemon's is. For me I would say it happens 38 out of 50 times.

EDIT: Checked the main page 4 times, works fine now

 

[Daemon300]

Re: Main Page Freezing?

It's fine now.

And both of the websites work normally.

Re: Main Page Freezing?

Thanks for checking, lads. Very, very odd indeed... I'm pretty much focussed on getting this fixed tonight if I can as it presents a pretty big problem. If the problem occurs again do let me know. I still need as much feedback as possible regarding this issue! Is it possible that when you guys checked, it could have just been one of those times where it worked as it should? I notice you both mentioned that it occurs 25%-50% of the time.

I'll be giving out premium subscriptions to those of you who have contributed thus far. Please do go ahead and post anything else if you feel it might help me track down the bug(s). I'm going to set up my Win XP PC tomorrow to see if I can re-produce the problem. Very strange...

Re: Main Page Freezing?

I'll check when I get to college tomorrow, no use here

Firefox FTW.

Oh and it only happened 2/3 times at college, not often at all.

Re: Main Page Freezing?

Hmmm... okay guys, this is the last link I need you guys to check out - promise! http://devilmaycry.org/

You guys noticing a problem on that site?
