googleleads killing my RX8club experience
 

Has anyone else had the pages stall waiting on googleleads.g.doubleclick.net?

All afternoon I've been stopping and reloading stalled pages waiting on googleleads. I'm not opposed to the forum owners making money with these ads but I don't think they would be happy to know it's destroying the site performance and making it difficult to surf.

nope, mine works fine

seems to be working fine for me. :scratchhe

Seems to back to normal for me now. Just the last couple hours it's been a complete 1995 vintage grey screen waiting for google to send it's ads back to me.

stop using Windows '98. ;)

Lol! Seriously. OSx10.5 bishes!

Odd. Now it's happening on another site with a different ad link. I wonder if it's something with the wife's Mac? or Firefox 3.6 on Mac?

mac? :uh:

OSX 10.6.5 here. The other day I noticed a.postrelease.com was slowing down page loads. Are you using Safari or Firefox?

Firefox.

its something with the newest firefox build. im getting other weird things like it asking if i really want to close all tabs when i have only clicked to close a pop up window. new firefox is buggy:(

Perhaps one of your plugins? I'm using FF and not having that problem.

I get it on my windose xp/firefox pc. Not for long but enough for me to notice.

getting the same bug where i have to close tabs and reload them at my friends house with firefox and at my house with chrome.

when I get slow downs from ad servers. I just add them to my hosts file and point it 127.0.0.1
no more waiting and no more ads from that server

Windows 7 Ultimate. There is no substitute!

Welcome to the cloud bitches!

yes there is a substitute terch, ubuntu doesn't get it. It's nice and quick.

Win7 Ultimate, FireFox 4, Ad Block.

I wait for nothing.

That said, I don't see anything from GoogleLeads when I analyze the page for scripts. Only Google-analytics.

Agreed. Ad blocking would solve the root problem, just looking to figure out what changed to start causing this problem.
