Title: This site keeps freezing on me ! Post by: Doggett on May 14, 2009, 12:18:38 PM It's only this site !
It's only started happening in the last week or two. Why is it freezing ? Title: Re: This site keeps freezing on me ! Post by: Andrew on May 14, 2009, 12:39:11 PM Can you explain "freezing" a bit more? I understand you mean your browser stops.
Does your browser load the page, then freeze? Are you able to do anything else when it is frozen? Are there any pages that do/do not freeze? Does it happen every time or is it sporadic? What browser are you using? Please try loading these different pages and let me know if you experience anything different between them: http://www.badmovies.org/forum/index.php http://www.badmovies.org/ http://www.badmovies.org/movies/fiendface/ http://www.badmovies.org/search.html Title: Re: This site keeps freezing on me ! Post by: Ash on May 14, 2009, 12:58:25 PM What I've noticed in the past week or two is the forum pages freezing slightly.
When I'm done looking at a forum page, I'll click the back button to go back to the previous page. It will "freeze" on the page I was reading. But if I scroll my mouse wheel, the page unfreezes and loads the previous page. It also sometimes does this if I'm going forward to a new page. Does that make sense? :question: It doesn't do it on any of the review pages or the homepage. Only here on this forum. Title: Re: This site keeps freezing on me !

It's happened three times today ! What I've noticed in the past week or two is the forum pages freezing slightly.

I get that too. :lookingup: Title: Re: This site keeps freezing on me ! Post by: zombie no.one on May 14, 2009, 09:23:50 PM > this has happened to me as well. page freezing then unable to even close the window,had to restart windows. only on this forum.
happened a few times last week but seems fine now... assumed it was just my comp. Title: Re: This site keeps freezing on me ! Post by: Trevor on May 16, 2009, 03:00:44 AM Yikes, I knew it was cold in South Africa but I didn't realize that this cold snap would lead to this site freezing....................oh, never mind... :wink:
Title: Re: This site keeps freezing on me ! Post by: Andrew on May 17, 2009, 07:43:40 AM If you are only seeing it on the forum, and it also happens when you hit the back button, then there are two possibilities. The most likely is that it is being caused by an advertisement misbehaving, since there are ads that only run on the forum. The other is that the forum is causing the delay, because of either some scripting trick in the code or even the database being really busy.
Still, the most likely cause would be an advertisement. I'll see if there's anything I can track down via that route. Title: Re: This site keeps freezing on me ! Post by: Mr. DS on May 17, 2009, 01:43:12 PM It happens to me a lot too and I'd vote for the ads. Simply because the page loads find but then you get the swirly thing in the ad spots before it locks.
Title: Re: This site keeps freezing on me ! Post by: Ed, Ego and Superego on May 22, 2009, 06:36:33 PM Starting this week. Its happening to me too, but I have to kill the browser window.
-Ed Title: Re: This site keeps freezing on me ! Post by: Ed, Ego and Superego on May 29, 2009, 01:03:46 PM The site is really killing IE 50% of the tuime, both on my hoem and work comps
Title: Re: This site keeps freezing on me ! Post by: Andrew on May 29, 2009, 08:54:33 PM Well nuts. I actually made changes about 3 or 4 days ago that I hoped would help the issue - and still no good? Does it happen only on the forum? I ask, because knowing if it happens just here or elsewhere on the site can help me pin down what is causing the issue.
Title: Re: This site keeps freezing on me ! Post by: Ed, Ego and Superego on May 29, 2009, 11:10:41 PM forum only, and only on the initial screen. http://www.badmovies.org/forum/index.php
Just locks right up -Ed Title: Re: This site keeps freezing on me ! Post by: zombie no.one on June 10, 2009, 10:23:32 PM site froze on me earlier today, big time. had to restart my pc
- just logged back in to let you know, Andrew. not sure what this is... Title: Re: This site keeps freezing on me ! Post by: Andrew on June 11, 2009, 06:49:18 AM I made some more changes. This is definitely being difficult to track down, and I'm concerned that it might have something to do with the forum software update that came out - the timeline for when I installed that and when the problems seemed to start is very close.
Title: Re: This site keeps freezing on me ! Post by: Ed, Ego and Superego on June 13, 2009, 04:46:53 PM This time it was in a thread. Its really frustrating.
Title: Re: This site keeps freezing on me ! Post by: Andrew on June 13, 2009, 06:07:33 PM I just made another major change to see if maybe it helps the freezing issue. Sorry I've been so scarce lately, but I've been putting in 80 hour work weeks.
Title: Re: This site keeps freezing on me ! Post by: Ed, Ego and Superego on June 14, 2009, 02:40:38 PM Don't sweat it man. You do have a life. The change SEEMS to help, we'll se how it goes.
-Ed Title: Re: This site keeps freezing on me ! Post by: Ed, Ego and Superego on June 16, 2009, 12:00:40 PM Stable so far on two computers
Title: Re: This site keeps freezing on me ! Post by: Andrew on June 16, 2009, 12:11:57 PM Seems like a heartening sign! :smile:
Title: Re: This site keeps freezing on me ! Post by: Doggett on June 16, 2009, 12:34:45 PM I got a Microsoft update and I now have this torn page icon by the refresh icon, after I've clicked on it I haven't had any problems with this site.
Title: Re: This site keeps freezing on me ! Post by: Rev. Powell on June 16, 2009, 08:05:39 PM I got a Microsoft update and I now have this torn page icon by the refresh icon, after I've clicked on it I haven't had any problems with this site. That's "compatability mode", it makes the browser revert from acting like IE 8 to IE 7. It might be a coincidence though, since Andrew made other changes to the site.

Title: Re: This site keeps freezing on me ! Post by: zombie no.one on July 03, 2009, 05:57:11 PM haven't had any freezes for a while now. how about other people? think it could be okay now maybe
Title: Re: This site keeps freezing on me ! Post by: Doggett on July 04, 2009, 05:11:52 AM haven't had any freezes for a while now. how about other people? think it could be okay now maybe Yep, it's all good from where I am. Title: Re: This site keeps freezing on me ! Post by: Andrew on July 05, 2009, 07:57:57 PM Of all things, I think that this was actually caused by a bit of bad code leftover from a forum upgrade. Glad that finding and removing that seemed to do the trick (and that the problem code snippet wasn't buried way deep in one of the files).
