My Board Gets Stuck

My board keeps getting stuck when a certain ad comes up from the "motley fool". Eventually, after many refreshes, the enitre board is visible again, but then after a click or two it happens again. I am fairly new to this, so any help would be appreciated.
now it seems magically fixed?? I am really confused. did this post somehow get the attention of a mod who fixed it? if so, please reply as i have another board with the same problem and i would also like to get that one fixed. as i said before, i am fairly new to this, so please bear with me. TYIA.

Hi. It is highly unlikely any of the staff here managed to actually fix your issue already, and so it likely resolved itself. In the event your other board doesn't resolve itself too, please provide the link to that board and also, if possible, can you provide a screenshot of the advertisement that causes the issue for you? That way if necessary, we can look into getting the advertisement removed, and having a screenshot makes the job a lot easier for us some times. :)

it does seem to have resolved itself. and the ad is no longer coming up, on either board so i cannot take a screen shot of it ( even if i knew how..;) ). I can tell you that it said it was provided by "motley fool" and there were several versions of it..two of them included links to something about steve jobs and there were also a couple of other versions, which also included links to something, but i cannot remember what those were about. should the problem occur again i will come back to this thread and let you know. and perhaps you can teach me how to do a screenshot!
thanks for your attention..greatly appreciated :)
the problem ads are back :(.

Same problem. I get my logo, a box for the ad underneath that and the site freezes. Might be browser. It is happening with IE 8 (running XP, can't upgrade to any higher version of IE) and Safari. I am able to get in with firefox. May have to reload Chrome.

I'm going to clear cache and cookies, sometimes that helps.

Sorry to reply to myself, but clearing temp files and cookies solved my problem. Hope it will help someone else.

Ok... scratch all the above. Now I can't get to my board using ANY browser. grrrrrrrrrrrrr ..... :(

No, its not the browser. the ad seems to come and go. so far today it's gone, but it might reappear at any time. its very frustrating. are you getting that same ad, brought to you by the motley fool? that is happening on two boards, but oddly enough, i have a much older board, and i dont get it there at all. it is the same type of board though.

Chris ... I don't know what's going on. The problem had cleared up for a couple of days, I guess on it's own since no one has contacted me. Then this morning the problem reappeared only this time the board simply stops loading BEFORE the ad loads. If I'm lucky enough to get a whole page loaded when I navigate away from it, the next page hangs.
I'm not having a problem with any other web site or message board. I'm reconsidering closing my old board and moving to invision.

I dont know what to tell you other than try and be patient. this happened to me for a few days...the ads would come and go, randomly. its been 5 days since the last one appeared and everything seems fine ( fingers crossed they dont come back!). but i can tell you that starting a brand new board didnt help. that is what i did because i thought my old board was the problem. but the ads haunted both boards. good luck!

If the advertisement is still appearing and causing issues, please take a screenshot of the advertisement. This video here demonstrates a way you can do this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XgoaGD3ipb8

Alternatively, press Print Screen on your keyboard to take a full screenshot, paste it into Paint, and then save the document and upload it to an image host such as Photobucket or Imageshack.

The problem ads have gone away, however now the whole board seems to have vanished, other than the background of the skin :(
any suggestions?

Without a link to your board it's hard for anyone to tell exactly what that issue would be. :)
