Pentax User Website

Did not know about adblock
got it now and what an improvement

It's just being polite.... they usually just run
java script without asking.... I use Noscript on
Firefox and keep getting told off by spyware that
I have disabled Java and I shouldn't have

Note Adblock won't stop any sites running
nasty Java scripts. Only allow trusted sites
to run it

Edit:

Ha! Ha! Just tried the Norton site that Richard gave
a link to and I get:

"The web browser you are using does not have JavaScript enabled. In order to use this Web site, you must enable JavaScript in your browser."

Fine for me on IE9. Did have problem a few days ago though.

Hi well thanks for all your help, seem like the problem has passed.
If you need more help please let me know.

By the way if you are using adblocking and javascript turned off etc and have problems then I would suggest turning off the plugins and see if that helps.

Mine keeps locking IE dead, the only way out is by using Task Manager and hitting "End Process" many many times. It's an XP machine with IE8. Seems lock when trying to download from a location that starts with this:

ds.serving-sys.com/BurstingRes/Site-1975/Type-11

It's a javascript thing (ends in .js) but I didn't copy the whole thing as it's in the status bar and won't copy/paste. Don't think it's my machine as it only happens here. Annoying though.

You could try updating Java. If that doesn't help, then there's no problem at all using Firefox.

The only problems I have experienced have been with IE.

I'm having problems of late. The problem is trying to figure out exactly which advert is causing it.

Of course if this web site complied with the law on tracking cookies we could turn off targeted advertisements!

greynolds999, please make a report if you think there is something wrong of that nature.

I'm sure Pentax User makes every effort to comply with the law.

It's not specific to the link I posted above, it just failed downloading some other unrelated advert for domestic appliances.

I take your point about IE and I'm no fan of the "evil empire", the trouble is that I've spent many years using IE and I'm used to where to find everything, Firefox and Chrome just have all this stuff in different places and it's too much of a pain to learn it all again.

I only get noticeable trouble on this site. I won't say that I never have a problem anywhere else, but if I'm going to have trouble, it will be here.

Best thing to do then Mike is make a Report, so IT can be aware of the specific details. Please give as much detail as possible, including times.

Same for me. The problem went away for a month but now its back.
IE will sometimes recover the page but not every time.

Hi we have passed on your concerns to the people who supply the adverts who will hopefully resolve the problem shortly.

I've read around and would advise the following action.
a) Clearing your browsers temporary internet files might solve the problem.

b) In general if you are on xp and using IE8 or previous then we would encourage you to change browsers to either firefox or google chrome.
The reasons for this is that ie8 is getting quite old now and ie9 and even 10 are well on there way. With it being so old it has problems with security and bugs and in general just getting out of date.

The browsers like firefox and google chrome update themselves so you will never have these problems.

If though you could post a report
https://www.pentaxuser.com/helpcentre/report/report-make

With information such as times and dates, and if any ad does appear then that would help.

With people saying that you have to end a task - I would suggest to make sure that your computer is up to date and that you are running the latest version of flash. Which if it doesn't help is always a good thing to do.

Again hope I'm helping here - but if you need more then please submit a report with as much information as you can because as John says it will help the advertising company find a fix the problem.

Thanks for your help and patience.
Regards
Richard

Just a final question to make sure of - those who have problems if in your reports could you name a few ads that appear.
Thanks in advance
Richard

OK, will keep it in mind, of course now it's working just fine. Link is useful though - I hunted for some kind of section for "site issues" or "forum problems" and only posted here as I saw this thread to add to.

(When I say "hunted", obviously like everyone I mean I had a quick look and couldn't immediately see anything).

I use Google Chrome so it's been ok
