Several times lately I've had pages here freeze and Firefox eventually tell me there's a script running and would I like to terminate it (yes I would!). I assume it's from an ad. Has anyone else had that experience?

On my desktop, I cannot post on this forum (I can post on others); every keystroke causes a "script error" message from IE11.
I have debugging turned off. I also ran lots of scans, Malware Bytes, Ccleaner, etc. No problems.

I'm guessing (from reading some Microsoft forums) that it's a timing problem (the desktop is really fast.) I had the problem on another site last year, but it went away.

If I find out more, I'll post here. I'm guessing it's my computer setup.

I've had odd behavior here with both IE and Google Chrome. May not be related, but:

1. I click to post and start to type and the window goes away and goes back to the page.

2. I type and nothing enters. The blinking cursor goes away. I have to keep clicking with the mouse to get it back.

After reading your problems I thought I should at least mention these things as possibly there's a relation. I doubt it, but you never know.

Adblock solved my problems here. As much as I would like to show the ads and support the forums, there was an ad misbehaving with Javascript.
