Site Problem?

This site keeps on crashing my browser by locking up the flash player. It appears to be the little advert to the top right, above the user panel browser. It's the same problem with other browsers and I have no problem with other websites, including ephotozine which I presume runs the same type of ads.

If I uninstall my flash player everything works fine.

Anyone else have this?

No problems for me, but I do keep getting the annoying pop-up stating that I've won an i-phone.

I use the site on 4 different PC's and it seems fine on all.

Odd. I've disabled the Firefox flash plug-in and its fine.

I've had a few problems recently with hangs and slow responses to 'adclick' or whatever it is with Firefox but I put that down to my chronic disk space problem (about 500Mb of free space). Too much shooting with the K-5 I think.

I had a similar problem recently. I resolved it by uninstalling ADOBE FLASH PLAYER, and JAVA RUNTIME ENVIRONMENT. After rebooting, I reinstalled JAVA, rebooted, then installed the latest version of FLASH. Everything works fine now. BTW: I run Win7 as my OS.

I've not had a problem. Maybe because I run Adblock Plus?

I've been having the same problem since yesterday. I reinstalled the latest version of flash and I'm still getting that annoying 'bling' plug in not working - ooops google chrome has crashed.

I don't have the problem any where else and it's driving me nuts so shall avoid this site for the time being.

Windows 7, 64bit uninstalled flash and reinstalled several times. Download speed 13Mbps (that's lightning speed for deepest rural France).

Simple enough to disable flash plug-in and re-enable it to watch Youtube, etc. But it only happens with this site.

Thanks Gwyn,

Installed Adblock Plus (plus unticked allow some non-intrusive advertiing), reenabled flash.

Faster loading, no crashes and no ads. Brilliant.
