Script Issue

[Joe_E]

In the bottom left corner it says waiting for aboutblank while its locked up

same here says "aboutblank", took twenty minutes to get back to this thread this time around

still an issue with the analytics pulled...

right now, surf with Firefox, Chrome, Safari....anything other than IE...I'll see if I can hire someone to get this worked on yet today...

Downloaded Chrome and doesn't have the problem. Can't do that from work though.

This may explain why it seems to run slow sometimes when I was opening threads. Maybe something has been there all along, just changed yesterday to make it lock up

just went upstairs to my junker that has windows XP and seems to be working fine.
the newer laptop with the problem has vista

Woody I believe the problem to be with asterpix/searchlight.js. Stepped through with a debugged and the hangup happens after the last post is transmitted (but not rendered) and before the editor boxes are loaded. Somewhere between lines 675-725.

I blacklisted web.asterpix.com in my hosts file and it seems to have fixed it. Will now unblacklist and try again to confirm.

pulled - see if that cures it

 

[woody]

...and I need one of those 'debug' programs....

 

[Romer]

works for me now in IE

Comes built into IE8. Hit F12 to bring it up, the important panel is "Script".

Hope that was it

Woody, clear your cache.

Caveat being: I have saved pages from a while ago with asterpix code in them, so something precipitated this problem (either a change from the local site modifications or something they updated in their obfuscated javascript). Not sure how they operate but if they have a support forum or bug tracker you may want to have their developers look into in since they will have access to unobfuscated code to track down the problem.

 

[Joe_E]

now working here on windows pissta as well now!
great job there guys!

 

[woody]

alrighty then

I'll contact Asterpix and see what their issue was....thanks for the assistance

 

[NaterGator]

As always my pleasure

FireFox working OK today.

Woody, I never bothered reporting it or replying since this thread was up, but I was getting it showing a failure in the Adobe 10 ability to run, with Safari 10.4 and Firefox 3.6. It is with the ads and not the systems. I just went ahead and disabled Java through Firefox to stop the run time issue and move on with reading and posting.

Please get AdSense on a short leash, if not for this topic's reason, then for this one.

It's getting out of hand with the crap that is showing up, next thing you know there will be hidden active access hacks like another forum out there.
