Troublesome 'script'.

checkski

Does anyone else have trouble contributing to this new-style forum? The typing is slow, and when I click save or add, the system freezes, and a message comes up telling me a 'script' is causinfg my laptop to run slowly, and that it could stop altogether! Andy?

andy

It's your laptop

checkski

Thanks. Can you tell me more? I don't have this problem on other forums, and didn't have it on the old Sg.org site.

checkski

Thanks. Ah. If I click on write comment first, it goes at normal speed. Now let's see if it posts normally...

checkski

Oh god. What's going on? The modern world. I give up!

You are probably using Internet Explorer, checkski. Things should work well in other browsers, such as Firefox or Chrome. The easiest solution is to download one of those.

Honestly, I'm not sure. This is a pretty standard installation of vanilla 2. My guess would be something to do with a script around the 'rich text' features (bold, italic, etc) and your browser.<div><br></div><div>Maybe try it with a different browser and see what happens then?</div><div>Try firefox or chrome:</div><div>http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/</div><div>https://www.google.com/chrome</div>;

Ah, Marquis and I posted the same idea at the same time. Science tells us it must be right.

<P>I use Firefox and posting on the site now is crap.   And I'm not just talking after midnight.  Slow, clunky and agonising.  It's not me, it's you, honest guv.</P> <P>But not all the time.  I'me editing this, and it worked fine this time.</P> <P>*Thought* - do we need to update Java?</P>
