"Long-running script"- - - - -

DOUBLE -YOU-TEE-EFF is this long-running script that keeps locking up the forum and making me refresh the page and wait 30 seconds or more to (maybe) keep on reading?  If this is the best that we can get, maybe it's time to just pull the plug and quit making any effort to participate!

    Chances are it's not a long running script but and incompatible one. At this point, your browser tries different methods available to make it work. Sometimes it does and sometimes not. Latency, volume of traffic, error correction and other factors play a role in whether or not you can continue.

    I believe as the tech guys try to make the online "experience" more accessible and friendly to a younger (always on their phones) generation. I suspect the more we'll encounter these issues.

    Fortunately, my phone hasn't seen any problems but my laptop is starting to gag! I feel your pain Teach.

    I don't blame the Tech guys. They're only following orders from on High.

    Us mere mortals that simply live here don't get much guidance or instruction from up high.

    Simply put.....who the heck knows?

    I am running Firefox with AdBlock Plus and see nothing wrong from here. Everything runs just fine.

    I have Windows 10 if that helps any.

    Firefox, AdGuard, Disconnect, and a couple of other privacy addons, on a Mac. No browser problems, but this forum software has bugs that everyone is seeing, regardless of platform.

    It's especially bad if you're using an old operating system.

    I have three laptops. An old one for browsing. A newer one for shopping and one for work.

    I use the old one for browsing because I don't really care what happens to it. If it gets a virus I can't clean, I just re-image it.
    :D

    For me its "Last one to post..." and "Dedicated meme..."
    Not to mention the undeleteable drafts. Why someone thinks keeping drafts server-side is a good idea is beyond me.

    You're right Zorba.  Today the "The good bad and the ugly..." is working fine and the "Dedicated meme.." is not.  Go figure...

    The whole forum sucks like a Dyson ball- - - - -popup ads, slow page changes, intermittent "edit" capability- - - -the latest "upgrade" just about killed the place and ran off some very good people out of sheer frustration!

    Gotta agree with you there, Teach. I was almost one of them.

    It's running okay on my chrome book now that the auto-scrolling glitch went away, but it's now practically useless on my phone. 

    And the mod functions.....don't even get me started down that road. :#

    Other than a couple of threads not updating with new posts (ones mentioned) I'm not having any real problems except for stupid drafts saved for no reason. I'm on a Windblows 10 laptop running Firefox browser and AdBlock+ so not seeing any poopy popup ads or the other problems. Haven't been posting much on the forum because of 'personal reasons' not to do with forum. I'll post that info to my friends here in a multiple recipient IM when I know more later on in a few days. Right now I'm in a one rotor hover for a couple more days.

    And it's Spring and I'm busy as a one legged man at a butt kickin' contest on the farm. Working on bulldozer and about got it finished and rockin' like a champ, got the boat and motor humming and going to get to some fishing done, and helping a couple of new neighbors with a crash course in light farming and gardening. Got their garden plot prepped and they seeded today with heirloom seeds I gave them; none of that GMO hybrid crap! Gotta pass it on! Seeing their smiles at the help and the offer to help more was being way overpaid!

    I've just about given up trying to read, much less post anything when I'm on the road and using my laptop.  At home, the main computer is only mildly annoying.  I believe the laptop is running some version of Windows 8, which was terrible when new, and hasn't improved with age.  Attempting to run any sort of ad blocker on that one slows it down to a crawl, or just locks it up entirely.  Even at home, waiting for a dozen pop-up ads to load after every page change makes me want to take a flamethrower to the monitor, but I guess that's necessary when the magazine probably only has a couple of dozen subscribers nationwide!

    This has been my recent experience as well.
    As for it not working on fones - why, that's a feature! ;)

    Not really having any problems here other than showing thread updates. I've give up on how to get the quote, draft thing to work.

    I am running Windows 8.1 on my Surface Pro and not having any of the issues you are.  However, I use Firefox as my browser and I shut off the automatic updates for Windows long ago.  I have it set to not even check for updates.
