Chronic script problems from the advertisers again, causing pages to freeze; a number of times the site stopped serving pages (which I assumed was the tech staff taking it offline to do some kind of maintenance or testing on it).

On the Windows machine I use for compatibility testing and Access database, I can't visit the MR forum at all; scripts locked its Windows 10 instantiation (not just the browser) up permanently (and the hard drive is now unrecoverably corrupted).  I don't do 'general' browsing on that machine, and the trouble only occurs on the MR site (specifically the forum pages), so it's pretty specific where the trouble, whatever it is, resides.

No probems on my part accessing the Classic Trains forum.

However, for several weeks now, I have had to wait quite a while to get onto the Model Railroading forum, and over the weekend, it seemed to be a particularly long wait.

Works OK for me this weekend, although the "Trains" Forum seems a bit sluggish in coming up.  I've had to go through the procedure twice several times today, although once I'm on, no problems.

No problems with othe others, "Classic Trains," "Classic Toy Trains," or "Model Railroading."

Anyone else have trouble logging onto the classic trains forums?
