Unresponsive Script

[Acker79]

Every so often I keep getting an unresponsive script alert:

A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, open the script in the debugger, or let the script continue.

Script: https://code.jquery.com/jquery-2.1.4.min.js:2​

(windows 10, firefox 44.0.2)

Anything to be concerned about?

Definitely. Have you tried "format c:" ?

I've been experiencing this too, i think it may be from an ad

I'll do that right now...

I've been getting that with Firefox and IE. According to Bozza it's most likely a problem with one of the ads on your screen. It was much more frequent for me 2 or 3 weeks ago. I don't thnk there's anything you can do about it but it doesn't cause any problem except slowing the paging down.

It's not anything serious

You should also block Goldstone 1976 to reduce the irritation.

It has been happening on NSC only for me, just the last couple of days though.

Just happened a couple of times in a row, both screens had the EE Samsung S7 advert. The culprit perhaps? I also noticed that there's a 'don't ask me again' option on the pop up. Must remember to select that next time it pops up.

EDIT: Nope, just happened on a page without that ad, too.

Yeah, it only happens on NSC. It may be the Thai Ladyboys ad. How often do you get that ad popping up?

Unfortunately you can't block him as he's a moderator.

Pain in the arse on Firefox, but doesn't seem to happen to me on Google Chrome.

Shockwave flash?

Usually just stop the script and it rights itself or I have to refresh the page (Windows 7 on chrome)

You might want to try entering the wrong passcode on your iPad a few times too.

Quite - I got so fed up with Firefox's slow running that I have switched to Chrome which is much better..

I had all these problems, plus the memory kept filling up. I took the plunge last week and downloaded Windows 10. It appears to have fixed everything, machine now runs nice and smooth and has speeded up.

I was having that issue on chrome and firefox on many sites. unfortunately setting up adblock fixed the problem.

Thanks for the thread. Was considering reinstalling Mozilla....

Stopping the script works.

I've been having probs with NSC for weeks now, unfortunately. Always seems to be linked to ads, and takes ages for the page to load, or it leaves it hanging. Android, Chrome and IE.
