UK Workshop problems.

[whiskywill]

Is anybody else having problems with this site? My screen is frequently freezing and I get the message "ukworkshop.co.uk is not responding" with the option to "Recover page". I don't get this with any other website.
Any ideas?

For the last few days there has been a problem with one of the Add servers and its choice of advert source, have not been able to tie down which or what, resultant page freezes, page not found pages presented and various browser notifications appear to depend upon which browser(version) and operating system you are using and how it deals with an erroneous url.

You may see the page freeze, you may see a Page not found window or a popup message that an Add called by the page can't be loaded.

You could try cleaning unwanted cookies off the system to see if that stops the occurrence.

That’s a relief, I have been experiencing the same, I thought it was just, yet another unstable element of this Windows 8.1 operating system, I have and hate. :evil:

My advice to anybody thinking of upgrading to 8.1, don’t. It may be ok, if you are a swipe/touch screen user of the young generation, other than that its a pain in the backside.

Sounds like you do not run it in Desktop Mode, Win.7 on steroids with the option to operate in Icon/App mode with a click if required.

Is there any even slightly significant financial benefit in serving ads in here?

If there is; great.

Otherwise ........

I pad is not that stable on the internet.

It appears my virgin media modem needs upgrading to hub version 2 because of hiccups according to another source.

No problems with my Ipad on the internet, as stable as my desktop.
Are you sure it isn't your wireless router?

Virtually all my internet browsing is by iPad and I've never had a stability issue.
Definitely not a generic iPad problem.

I don't get that message. It always seems to happen when I click back a page and the website fails to respond and locks out. I use Internet Explorer on Windows 7 on a desktop PC. No problems at all on other sites.

Many thanks for the links, but I would not dare trying to make any alterations to the standard settings, my computer came with. :?

Just been browsing the forum for about seven minutes and have had to "recover web page" five times. It almost makes me want to stop and do some work instead. :x

I've recently started having a similar problem on this and some other forums that appear to use the same forum software/engine. On my old Mac (Mac OS 10.4.11 and relevant version of Safari) I get a message saying a script has failed and do I want to continue - answering either yes or no to this does not solve the problem, and I have to force quit Safari and start again :-( However, I've found that if I switch off Javascript in my Safari preferences when I want to use the forum all is well and I get no problems at all - so this work around may help others - you do need to switch Javascript back on when visiting sites that actually need it, rather than just use it for ads.
