waiting for tag.contextweb.com

Stephen Tashi

At the moment, forum pages load very slowly in Firefox. The message "waiting for tag.contextweb.com" appears for a long time. Can Firefox be configured to skip loading anything from that server?

I get the same delay - I'm using Chrome. But once I sign in, everything is fine.

Stephen Tashi

I'm logged-in and I still get the delay. What paranoid theory can I find to explain this? Discrimination against Linux users?

Greg Bernhardt

it's an ad server, i'll email support

Ben Niehoff

This happens every day, all the time, logged in or not. Usually I refresh the page until I get an ad from a different server. Otherwise it takes minutes -- yes, minutes -- to load.

DrDu

Same problem here.

AlephZero

I don't share that experience, but it's broken again right now - way too slow to be useable.

Greg Bernhardt

I've sent an email to support, stay tuned.

Greg Bernhardt

Confirmed problem, no word on status of fix

Greg Bernhardt

How is the situation now? They apparently were moving a data center.

Ben Niehoff

Seems fast now.

Greg Bernhardt

Good! Let me know if it slows down again

Stephen Tashi

As of the last few minutes, I'm having the problem again.

If I navigate away while the page is stalled and reload the page, it usually loads a the normal speed.

Stephen Tashi

I'm having the same trouble again (11:30 AM MST). Occasionally there is also a delay that displays a messages about waiting for amazon ads.

Ben Niehoff

It's happening again. It happens all the time, I don't think they care about your complaints.

Stephen Tashi

It's happening to me too at the moment.

Perhaps Ben and I waste too much time on the internet.

Pranav-Arora

It happens here too. It takes forever to load.
