THIS FREAKIN' BURSTNET THING IS DRIVIN' ME FREAKIN' CRAZY!!!:banghead :banghead :banghead

Every single freakin' time I try to open a thread or a new page, it takes so long I could have 3 cups of coffee, and then I hear a double clicking sound and I get the freakin' "This page cannot be displayed....."..... blah, blah, blah, and it's this

:http://www.burstnet.com/cgi-bin/ads/sk6782a.cgi/3814/zg000066x000000l000000v000000k000000/RETURN-CODE

...... and I have to hit "back" to get to the page I originally wanted. It just started yesterday. Did you put a new ad on? Is it just my old computer that can't handle it?

I am so annoyed I could just.....

:Puter:

Cripes. It's taken all the fun out of posting.

:Pissed:

I don't know. It's got to be something new, though, because this is happening every single time I try to open a page. Not just occasionally...... every single time. And it wasn't happening before yesterday.

Very annoying.:banghead

[rockin500]

hmmmm. :cry:

not good!

i'll try to ask our spiritual leader. :)

[Nanner]

Ray. :luvkiss:


Actually, I just had the brilliant idea to clear my browser cache. (I have absolutely no idea what that means, but I do know how to do it. :D ) So I did it and we'll see if that does anything.

[Nanner]

Cancel that. That didn't work.:angry:

I have to log off now. It's too annoying. :(

[rockin500]

awwww, i hope you come back soon dear! and it works properly when you come back.

[Nanner]

Hmmmm. Well, I went for my run, and now I'm going through my AOL browser instead of the IE browser, which I've been using for months, and it's not happening. :umm

I don't get it. :notme:

Oh, well. Seems fine now.

:D

Thanks for your shoulder for my venting, Ray. :itsok:

:D

[PissedPrincess]

It's happening to me. It took me 2 days and 3 martinis to open this thread.:cry:

GODDAMN IT SOB!!!!!:Puter:

[Nanner]

OHMIGOD! ISN'T IT FREAKIN' ANNOYING?!?!?

It's not happening now that I'm at work on Mr. Super Computer. But I dread going home and trying it.

:banghead

"3 martinis".... I hear ya. :hmm:

[rockin500]

i had it on one page earlier. some stupid site kept popping up. and everytime you closed it, it popped up! eek!

[PissedPrincess]

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
FRUSTRATING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:banghead :banghead :banghead

I can't post, it takes a month to open stuff.:cry: :cry:

So distressed. :cry: :cry: :cry:

[PopTop]

Hmm, it's not happening to me and I'm using IE ... Need to get one of the real pro's on this for y'all.

[Nanner]

I'm pretty sure that big ass "Burst" ad to your left....

<-----------------

(sometimes it's there, sometimes it's not)

..... it's big and black and yellow, is the culprit. But I'm just guessing. That's the link that is on the top of the page when I get "Cannot Connect.... " or whatever.

[Nymet31]

That was happening to me on Saturday...it was so freaking annoying!!!

Today not so bad. I'm running through IE also, cuz when I run through AOL I can not Edit or Delete anything.

[Baseball Guru]

Sorry guys, I have no control over the pop-ups...I dont even get any so not sure what causes it to popup more on one computer over another.....

Even when I dont have my popup kiler on I dont have a problem...

Would anyone like me to send them my popup killer??


It is a small program that I can easily send to anyone via email.......

Email and ask and I'll hook you up..

I can not guarantee anyone that this will help, but try this.

http://www.lavasoft.de/support/download/

go to that site, and download this program. It will detect all of the little programs which attach themselves to your hard drive when you download something... or go to certain site. After you run the scan, just go ahead and delete the folders it detects. It basically cleans the "garbage" from your computer. The first time i ran it, I found close to 200 files that I deleted. I run it once a week now, and my computer has been free of those problems.

Thanks you guys. I can't figure out why this just started yesterday.

I'm going home now, and if it's still going on, I might just take you up on both of these suggestions!

:luvkiss:

[Nymet31]

I don't have any problems with POP UPS. I used to, but haven't in a long while.

The problem is with the ads to the left I think. this is what happens when I try to post a new thread or Reply.... 1st it takes awhile to get to the post page..then I can type what I want and when I hit send usually the Ad to the left goes to a "systems error" page... it says there is a problem with the website hit Refresh. Then the part where my post should be goes to a "system error" page. If I hit the back button or referesh it goes back to normal.....I think that's what Nanner has also.

It's totally the Burst Ad. Everytime it goes to that Ad the system goes down. If you hit the REfresh button it refreshes the ad. It's fine when it is the Disc Tv Ad.

[Nanner]

YES! Kathleen, that is totally what it is. That's exactly what happens to me.


:banghead

(Thank you. I'm not crazy.) :D

[Nanner]

Okay, just for everyone's information. I came home and posted a few things here just using my AOL browser, which I haven't done for months. No problem. Then I went to try posting on the IE browser, like I've been doing for months, and I got the same problem.

Could this be an incompatibility thing with that ad and IE? (Wild guess on my part).

Well, as long as I can post using AOL, no problem.

Funny thing was, I started using the IE browser back when a couple of real PopUp ads started on this site. (They're since gone).

*sigh* Oh well. I'm rambling now. :hmm:

[awefullspellare]

ive never been able to see the ads :D

[rockin500]

i only use IE and very rarely do i have a problem. no problem today at any rate.

[PissedPrincess]

YES Kathleen and Nanner! It is the burst net thing. This just started yesterday. It's the ad to the left. It says loading burst net at the bottom of my page.

Can we please delete it? I had no problems with the TV ad, or pop-ups. Please.:cry:

:help:

[Baseball Guru]

I dont think it was the ad to the left but rather the Sports Infinity ad I had up top for people to vote for the site....

It hasnt bee working the other day and Jacqui and I figured it out that, that was the problem so I deleted it and everything seems to work now....

Nanner, let me know if you are still having the problems while using the IE....

[PissedPrincess]

That was it James! Thanx so much! My boss was wondering how I got so much work today.:D

I'm like well, I couldn't post.

[Nanner]

YAAAAY!!!! BRILLIANT!!!

Everything's fine now. :D

Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou.

:clap2:

:hail: :hail: :hail: :hail:

[Obri]

Strange....in my time here, I don't think I've seen one popup.:cool:

[Nanner]

There were popups several months ago, but only lasted for a couple of months. Now, there are just the banner ads, which are fine. I mistakenly thought the problem I was having was because of the Burst ad, (a banner ad on the side) which wasn't loading whenever I switched pages, and evreything was slow. But apparently brilliant James with the assist of brilliant Jacqui discovered that the voting thingy was slowing down everything, even causing the ad not to load.

Do I have that right, James? (Always trying to upgrade my computer savvy. :freak: )

[Baseball Guru]

Your pretty much on the money Nan:thumbsup:

[rockin500]

got that blasted insight express just now. :angry:

also, i hate that earthlink ad. :angry: gives me a stupid error message that i need to get Flash 6. :angry:

[Baseball Guru]

We have an earthlink ad on this site:umm

Ray, cant you use the PU Killer I sent you at work??

Also, hows it working out for you at home??

[rockin500]

at home, it works great. at work, i cant use it. :(

and yah we do have earthlink on the side bar

[Misha77Piazza]

Gee, I hope this post make it here because this past two days this site (or maybe it's my computer) had been loading up sooooo slooooooow! I've tried to post something but can't seem to due to slow loading. But strange enough is I'm still able to post something at the various sites that I visited in the past two days and today as well. So I guess this site's server may be lagging? It's very frustrating for me not to able to post anything here. :(

Oh well...I'll keep trying later.


This post better show up here.

[Steffo]

It showed up!

I don't seem to have the same problem. Explain a bit more......

Why should I explain a bit more? My post was showing the explaination the reason why this site was so slow for me to post for some reason. :hmm:

Anyhoo....finally this looks like it's up to speed so far. *knock on wood* Ok, I'm going to post away in the Mets forum. :D

[PopTop]

Misha, it was the same for me on Fri-Sat as well, and the last little thing to load before it was ready seemed to be the burstnet thingy-bob that Nanner was talking about to start this whole thread ... I usually think it's the slow-as-molasses connection I have with Billy Bob Jumpback's Internet Service out here in the Texas sticks ... But maybe it's not always Billy Bob's fault:notme:
