Have you got an A D Blo cker ?

I do and its gash at the moment and the last week it takes forever for a page to open and affects other tabs like YouTube and email tabs

The mate of mine isn't as powerful now as I still see the odd ad pop up on here and YT.

BF has become thoroughly unusable for me over the last 24 hours.

I have each tab trying to use almost a GB of RAM. That can't be normal can it?

Can you do me a favour?

In one of the tabs that are giving you trouble, can you view the page source, save a copy and send that file to support@bigfooty.com ?

Happy to do it Chief - but it's literally every page if I have more than 2 tabs loading. That includes just opening my "unwatched threads" page, which obviously doesn't have tweets/picturs/gifs or anything. It just has a list of threads... and the ads.

Do you just want me to send you a random page?

edit: i swear to god, i'm closer to leaving now than i was after that most recent banning. I love this site, I've been here for 20 years. But I can't use it. I'm getting ready to throw my laptop. I can't load a single page without it trying to crash Chrome, which it's starting to do quite successfully this evening.

I wasn't able to get on last night - did you send the page? Also just now understanding that you have multiple tabs open so I can test that out.

BOSS!

I'm typing this using Firefox instead of Chrome.

Why is BF not working on Chrome ATM?

 

[Chief]

Do you get errors? Anything I can have a look at?

The number of posts Fred finished his innings on.

No errors.
Just the loading wheel of death.

Restart and try again - I have no issues.

It's been stuffed for ages.

I reckon it's getting crippled by Google/Chrome as my Macbook is too old to upgrade

You don't have a macbook?

 

[RedmanWasHere]

You don't have a macbook?

I only ever use Windows for my computers.

Not sure what is going on, but I can't use Chrome anymore. Back to Safari as Firefox is shit

CRISIS AVERTED...................for now!

Needed to simply close and open my Chrome windows.

Chief is this gift thing where I can pay $3,000 to permanently ban a user real? Can I use it to ban a moderator? What assurances do I have that they aren’t let back on the site?

A) Yes.
B) Sure.
C) None.

 

[BluesFanatic2025]

None

Well if you change that to guaranteed they can’t come back I’ll do it

BF is running really slow for me at times. I cleared my cache on my PC which did nothing but it was also running slow on my tablet and phone when no one else was having issues.

Any ideas why it might be happening Chief?

BF pages taking up memory.

chef as an example re site issues - this tab alone is currently using 1.3GB in memory on my laptop. Apologies for it being in the wrong thread but I thought it was worth letting you know nonetheless.

But you don't get those ads...

Do the new laws on social media apply to forums like Bigfooty? Will we need verification in the future?

Has only started happening this afternoon I think, but all Tweets come up like this instead of showing the username / profile photo. Content itself is fine.

Not sure if it's a me issue or a BF issue.

Media not displaying on my profile? I can't seem to find a "media" button? If I have posted photos on threads, I cannot find the photos I have posted unless I search in the actual thread. Thanks, Chief
