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?

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

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.

Same problem here.

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

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

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.

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.

 

[Saitama]

It happens here too. It takes forever to load.

Waiting for contextweb to load, yes.

 

[Greg Bernhardt]

As a temporary measure I have removed the ad service
