Front page loads, then disappears and loads again 7 October 2018 at 9:42AM in Site feedback 9 replies 1.2K views

Recently, when I go to the MSE home page, the page downloads and I can see everything, then it immediately all disappears and downloads all over again. It seems to redirect to another copy of itself with some kind of tracking reference in the URL.

It's not too bad when I'm at home on my fast broadband, although it's a bit of a jolt when it happens, but when I'm on a slowish connection and the second load of the page takes several seconds, it's quite annoying.

Not just the front page, I find it happens on the forum as well and has been for quite a while.
I guessed that it was something to do with skimlinks.

I can't say I've ever noticed it on the Forum pages, but on the main site it's a relatively recent change, within the last few months.

Yes getting page refreshes all the time in the competition board. Quite annoying ut assume there's a reason for it.

Thanks!

been happening a lot this evening using the forum

I am using win10, ie11 and on the green forum.

Notice it most when I click on 'new posts', the page loads then disappears and loads again virtually every time.

Snap, I'm using the green and the same thing was happening last night, but, it's not a full reload! I'm on the competition forum and have ticked the box yet the tick isn't showing after reloading when it should, if that makes sense? Like it's jumping not reloading.
