I am having similar issues, using AVG as my anti-virus.

I have the same problem, but fortunately I don´t get the script error. I have installed a software deleting all cookies and trackers when I leave a page. This software shows me it deletes cookies and trackers from up to 40 (!) pages - each time I leave a MR forum page. Incredible!
I have similar problems using Firefox, but only on this site. It's even worse if I want to reply to a thread, as it can sometimes take up to an hour, and I've had several instances where everything simply froze and I had to shut down the computer. Other sites work as they normally do, with no difficulties. My computer is somewhat dated, and I suspect that the revised MR site doesn't play very well with XP.
I'm currently using a Mac, and am experiencing no difficulties.

Same problems here with Firefox. To access this forum I must use Edge. With Edge there is no script problem, however it is awfully slow.
Jack W.
No problems with Chrome.
Richard
Similar problems here. I had chalked it up to switching to Windows 10 since it seemed to coincide.
Dave Nelson
Safari and Firefox just take forever all of a sudden and so I switched to Chrome and it works very fast, as in as soon as I click the new page is up. I have given up posting to the diner as after typing up a few paragraphs and hitting submit, they vapourize. I guess Vinny knows I am typing in my underwear with no shirt on and won't let me in.
Try Chrome, it sure works great for me and my gettin old Mac.

Slightly slower on Chrome than normal, impossible on Safari or Edge, I.E. Never worked right once I got 10.
I do not use Firefox, so can not speak as to it.

I use IE (8 or 9?) and have had very few problems. However, just the other day I was on this forum and a big red pop-up occurred, saying something to the effect that the site I am on is an unsafe one. It also completely froze my computer, so I had to shut it down and start up again. What was up with that, I don't know. I have been reluctant to upgrade to Windows 10 for the same reasons stated in this thread, as well as some of the other not-so-good things discovered by others about that OS.
I am in Chrome right now and the problems vanished.
no problem with my 3rd gen iPad. IOS Udated to 9.3.2
Currently using Firefox 47.0 and Adblock Plus on a Windows 10 tablet with zero issues...

Time...It marches on...without ever turning around to see if anyone is even keeping in step.
I am using Opera on my laptop with Windows 10 and Adblock. No problems other than the site loads slowly initially.

I'm using win7 I tried win10 and had tons of issues so,I return to win7.
I get a notice from time to time that my virus protection blocked a malicious web attack from this forum.. I don't have this issue on other forums.

I upgraded to 10 and all my problems went away as 7 and 8.1 had issues. I use Chrome and have a delete button for most stuff from CCcleaner.
I have win7 with Firefox and no problems. I doubt if I will ever upgrade to win10 because of all the games MS is using to get me to upgrade.

Firefox 47 and Avast, no script problems here, an occasional unsafe notice as we dicussed in a now locked thread.
Script errors I do get are related to Adobe Flash running on non-MR pages. Recent versions of Firefox have been memory hogs, no opinion on this latest version. Flash is also a memory hog and frequently stalls out my computer.
Getting rid of cookies is probably a good thing. Avast is blocking 16 trackers on this page.
A clean install of Win 10 worked far better than the upgrade install on my desktop. My new laptop came with 10 and after a week decided I did not have "authorization" to save files to my usual locations. I think this was related to One Drive. No problems since.

No problems on my PC running Win 8.1 and IE 11, except for the missing parts of the forum post page that have always been missing.
However, on my IPad, for the past couple of weeks it will not keep me logged on once I leave the site for anohther

I'm running Win 10, IE 11, and have no problems. Also run Firefox, again with no problems. Maybe just lucky?

I am using Google Chrome and I am having all sorts of problems with the MR site. Typing a response on the forums takes forever and frequently locks up for several minutes. I keep getting a yellow band across the top of the screen that says Shockwave Flash has quit working. I'm also getting 3rd party ad videos with sound that are totally unrelated to model railroading popping up on the right side of the screen.
None of this is happening on other websites.
Coincidentally, my Internet usage has shot up in the last couple of months. One month it was at least partially the result of my son downloading some games, but that still wouldn't account for the usage. My Internet activity hasn't changed at all for a long time and yet I have gone from about 120 Gb/month in January to 220 Gb in May.
I have Norton 360 on my computer and I am using Windows 10.
I'm just a dude with a bad back having a lot of fun with model trains, and finally building a layout!
Using Chrome & no problems . . .
You do not need to reboot your computer... use the task manager to end the Firefox browser.
Edge does not work on my computer, I have bitched to Microsoft, they know about the issues, but do not fix it. It is a known issue that affests many people. Oh well, that is not an MR problem.
Right now I am using Chrome, it is slower than it should be. I think Kalmbach needs to stop all off site ads until the issue can be addressed.

Lion How old is your computer? I realize Lions have no money but Lions being resouceful should be able to speed up an old PC.
BTW I understand why Lion does not have Mac after all Lions want to avoid Safari.

LION is IT director for Abbey. My 'puter is not the newest, but it is really up to par 8GB RAM, Win 10 etc etc. Our network is fiber optic with a static IP number with direct access to the backbone. Ours in a Windows shop, I have some linux stuff, but we are moving to 100% Windows 10 except for our servers with are 2008 R2,
There *IS* junk on the MR forum, you can see the status bar loading and loading. . In Chrome, we do not get a script error, but you do get a "Shockwave Flash has crashed." and that crashes it for other instances of Chrome that are open, such as I Heart Radio on a diffedrent brower instance.
Needs work guys., neetds work.
I had this happen a few weeks ago, but it was on the BBC news site. Loading script after script.
So I went back using NoScript and no problems any where since. Though at times I do forget to click the temporarily allow.

Running Windows 8 and Chrome - no real problems except that the site sometimes runs very slowly (as in I'm typing and no text appears for ten or fifteen seconds) - I just put it down to high usage at certain times.
Actually, it appears that Kalmbach has fixed the problem, or at least has shut off the offending ads until they can be fixed. For this MUCH THANKS!
Come share my Wildebeest!
Seems like everyone is having different experiences so I doubt that this will solve all the problems.
For what its worth, recently I have been experiencing a lot of delays posting on and reading the forums, like many others. I was also experiencing delays with my mouse on other programs and things were slow to load in general. Tonight I installed Ad Block Plus for Chrome and suddenly my whole computer seems to be running like it used to - in other words, fast. I'm not getting the "Shock Wave Flash has crashed" messages and there are no delays when typing.
Might be worth a try for those having problems. The only negative that I have found so far is that advertisements attached to news items are being blocked so I can't get to the actual news article. No big deal.
I'm going to cross my fingers in the hopes that the improvement in performance isn't a fluke.
Thanks to Mel and Tom for mentioning Ad Block Plus.
Just Google "Ad Block Plus". There are different versions for different browsers.
