Anyone else have problems displaying the UHH site? I have a lot of issues with it, and today it is almost unusable.

I have the fastest link Comcast provides - 125Mb/s - but it takes forever to download and play all the animated ads.
Every couple of screens, it just locks up, and I get a "site is not responding" message. Recently, I have also started getting the message "Site not responding due to a long-running script", and giving me the option to wait or kill the script.

Just for the past couple of days, I have started to get security warnings popping up:

SecurityError: Error #2122: Security sandbox violation: Loader.content: https://speed-s.pointroll.com/PointRoll/Media/Panels/REI/888787/REI_Dynamic_Camping_Shell_728x90.swf?PRCampID=71813&PRPubID=vivakicm&PRAdSize=728x90&PRFormat=PO cannot access http://www.rei.com/media/uu/b16e81b1-b021-4d0b-b8b7-f5878149508a.jpg. A policy file is required, but the checkPolicyFile flag was not set when this media was loaded.

I am pretty sure that the problem is caused by the animated ads, but because they display on every screen, it messes me up going in to read a message, and then again when I come back to the newsletter page.

Only problem I've had is trying to open watched topics. It regularly times out & I have to go back & click on it again. The 2nd time it works as advertised. I'm using Chrome & have an ad blocker. What browser are you using?

I use Comcast Internet (the high-speed they offer in California), Windows 7, Chrome, Trend Micro Internet Security, no ad-blockers. I haven't had any problems.

Hmmm... I am using IE, version 11, I think. The latest one, anyway. It took me 3 tries just to come in and display the replies to this thread.

I wonder if different regions get different ads displayed?

I have the same sort of issues with Facebook (using Firefox), but other regular sites are no problem at all.

With all of Comcast's acquisitions, etc. I wouldn't even assume anything is the same from region to region.

I use IE 11 for general use. I use Firefox for Facebook, and I have to use Chrome to upload service recordings for my church... On here, though, IE

What about IE? I can't see anything comparable in there...

adblocker is built into ie. have to just turn it on.
ie to heavy of a browser. uses to much of computer resources. i haven't used ie in several years.

I couldn't see any reference to it in any of the preferences menus. I did find a download for adblocker plus which is supposed to work for IE 11, so I installed that. So far, all I am seeing is notices that it has been updated, but we will see.

As I said, I use all 3 of the 'mainstream' browsers, because for some of my regular sites, each does something better than the others. I need Chrome in order to upload our church service recordings - neither of the others allows me to log in to the site as an administrator. I use Firefox for Facebook, because on IE it stopped allowing you to view images full-screen.

For general use, however, I still find IE the best all-rounder. I was looking forward to trying their new browser, but I cannot install W10, so that isn't going to happen any time soon...
