This forum web site is acting funny

Interesting. It acts flaky and slow, particularly when opening a post in a new tab.

But, it's only in Safari.

Microsoft Edge seems to have no problem.

I've emptied cache, of course, but I wonder if Safari's not doing some weird security shit.

I've been having trouble on Edge too... slow, no list of topics, click reply and everything goes blank.

I disabled AdGuard, and it seems to be fine now.

Since we are picking nits

this is what I see at the bottom of the page on Windows Chrome browser

I can't see the bottom/final "Reply Quote :" because it is blocked by the 7 out of 7

And yesterday I thought it was faster, today it is slow again

[Rainman]

Yes, seems quite slow especially when loading pictures.
I assumed it was Comcast, and still probably is.
I use chrome, most of the time.

Chrome is a dog.

From the article:
"It's a huge difference. Sure, I'm losing features -- a lot of features -- but I can live with that for the extra battery life. I'm slightly less productive because of the loss of features and a couple of extensions, but nothing compared to the extra runtime."

Yeah, I have noticed what a hog chrome is. Frankly, I don't care if it's Chrome or Edge, since I'm not concerned with battery life.

It is interesting but annoying, to be part of the continuous war between Microsoft and Apple, each trying to dominate by "synching" all of your devices. So much to turn off, so little time.

From what I've read, Chrome is also a major memory hog. That could certainly affect performance.

[Rainman]

There definitely is something wrong on this site.

I click one of the topics, the little blue wheel in the upper right corner just spins and spins, nothing happens. Sometimes I try refresh, sometimes click another site, then click back. BTW - the screen goes void of all text, the little wheel spins all by itself.

Doesn't matter which browser I use, the site has not done this before AFAIK.

[Klaus]

Wheel in the upper-right corner? What do you mean? Could you post a screenshot, maybe? Does this happen only on this site?

[Mik]

Working pretty well today. May be something well out of our control.
