Yep, ive had this for about 4 days or so, on and off getting stuck, then been ok, sometimes, i have to go off G.O.T to even get it to move as freezes, Via Chrome if that make's any difference, thought it was just my CP been a pain

Same here. There's definitely something wrong but can't work out what it is.

Only really happens on desktop for me.

I don’t have problems on my PC but on my phone the forum crashes a lot lately. Have to just cancel the browser app and go back in.

Mine froze, I pressed F12 to get a screenshot of that, it loaded and the cookies thing was empty, the cookies thing then started to fill and then I got the above screen.

IF that makes any sense, I have no idea what F12 does, I just know it shows stuff.

Cookies thing pic attached so you know what I mean.

This is when its stable.

An example of how this looks. Goes to this and can’t scroll, can’t click the back button etc. Just crushes Safari. Can’t tell if it’s GOT doing this or Safari having a moment though.

Ever since I bought them glasses from the GOT shop I’ve had no issues. Site been boss.

I was experiencing this, cleared the cache on the browser and it seems fine since.

dublinbluenose · October 28, 2023

Yeah, thought it was just me. It seems to be when there is a load or media on a page, like tweets or youtube embeds.

When it happens I switch off JavaScript then all is ok……

Another potentially useless screenshot after it did it again.

It has been freezing on my phone quite a lot. The freeze seems to happen when the pop up advert bar at the bottom of the screen appears. When I have managed to click the X to remove it seems to stop, at least that is what I have assumed to be the issue.

Not the same as posted but a few times recently I can be reading a thread and the page suddenly re-loads …. Happened a few times.. could be a problem my end I guess but no idea what

Happening all the time for me, page just freezes.

I'm constantly just closing and opening the app, thought it was just my phone.

Exactly the problem I'm having. Really annoying. :rant:

Actually, on my desktop now and I had assumed that this laptop was a bit sluggish but it is stuttering here also. Both phone and this are on Chrome and it does seem to happen when the ad bar at the bottom loads/pop's up.
