You just see the outline of a box closing very quickly. Does that make sense? No idea how else to describe it.

That's weird.

I've been getting that occasionally, but didn't think to link with MSE.

I'll keep an eye out for this now & when it is happening.

Could this be anything to do with the new skimlinks (default is off for registered users, but perhaps on until you sign in)?

Nope, don't think so. I've just checked that it's turned off for me and it took me 26 seconds to move from the board to this post.

It's driving me insane!!:mad: It's worse than the days of dial-up.

Driving me mad too......totally spoilt the enjoyment of the forum.

Using Chrome. My computer freezes the first time I visit MSE, either home page, or Forum. Freezes for up to one minute and I cannot do anything else on my computer.

One I have visited once I can visit again without problems until I shut my computer down, then when I restart it I have exactly the same problem again.

No other websites I visit are affected at all.

Never experienced anything like it ever before in the years I have been using the internet but extremely annoying.

You know we have two pc monitors on wireless networkers connection status sending packs to one another and it says sent bytes, received bytes - anyone thinks such buffers have anything to do with images srtuggling to load?

redfox

it's getting worse IMO. I just can't get anything done on the site with it like this.

It's really verging on the unusable the majority of the time now, so please can somebody do something about it because I can't go on with it like this - it's impossible.

Weird, as I can't replicate any slowness. Seems nice and fast from here.

Also odd that a slow response from any images2.moneysavingexpert.com/* requests can manage to freeze up a PC completely for a period.

I am soooo scared to say this in case it tempts fate........but I got logged in quickly and the pages are loading for me better at the moment.

Ok Webby...step away from all the nice shiny buttons now.

Same problem for me too, I am using firefox and whenever I first come on for the day the forum freezes my computer for at least a minute It then works fine for the rest of the day.
