Physics Forums running slowly today

For the past 3 days, PF has crashed on chrome, but runs fine on IE 7. What's the problem? It been frozen on chrome the last few miutes, then got that stupid chrome frowny face.

Do you get it when you're loading a page with math formatting?

Are you running the latest Chrome? I've never had problems and I run exclusively on Chrome. Do you have any extensions running?

No, I'll be getting bad freezes and give up and let it sit, then a few minutes later, all of the tabs for PF will have that stupid frowny face and if I have a tab to PF open, I get some idiotic "SORRY" message with a bunch of nonsense verbiage but no details, at least when a page can't be connected to in IE it gives you an error message with a number that you can look up.

I have version 26.0.1410.64m No extensions.

From checking, apparently this newest version is extremely buggy, freezes and crashes.

Since 26.0.1410.64m the performance went downhill very fast. I have miriads of problems related to flash sites.

I hope this get fixed soon.

kind regards,

Oddly, the other sites are unaffected, just PF.

I'm currently having to use IE to view PF without crashing.

I'm a bit suspicious of chrome. The system explorer shows that it does an awful lot of reading and writing on the disk at times, slowing down everything.
