Forum "Run-On" Load Time?

[Ox]

Has anyone else been experiencing never ending page laods?

I have been having that issue on my PC, but not my notebook.

I mentioned it to the home office on Tuesday/Wednesday, and I was out yesterdee.
This morning it seemed fine, but now it is back to run-on.
This site only.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Yes for the last few days.
Although it did fix itself for a hot second earlier today but now it's back to constant loading.
I just hit the X to stop it from loading forever.

 

[Ox]

Yeah, that's what I have been dooing as well.

I haven't noticed that, but I have mostly been browsing on my phone the last few days.

 

[JDennis]

I've noticed it off and on for a week or so. It currently been "loading" for about 7 hours.

Hit and miss here. Internet connection is fucked up. Will suddenly drop to 1kbps long enough for Firefox to tell me "this page is slowing Firefox down, please close it". Then it will jump up to the max(oh joy!) of 1.3mbps.

Browsing on phone, LTE, Safari, page never loads correctly. Never 100%, photo-heavy threads don’t load images.

waiting for spaces.reposerve.com

Firefox w/ AdBlock, UBlock on PC showns this. I have to tap the ESC key to stop the loading on all navigation between pages.

 

[dandrummerman21]

Yes, it's spaces.reposerve.com

IDK what that is, but i just added it to my adblocker so now it doesn't load constantly.

 

[Ox]

I told the powers that be that the problem is persisting and that giving folks a noteable reason to employ an ad-blocker would seem counter productive to the business of the site.

I was told just now that they are looking into it [with a bit more seriousness.]

Quick and dirty for this one problem : find your "hosts" file. Add "spaces.reposerve.com" as 127.0.0.1

That will redirect that address to localhost and bounce it right back. Figuring this out the first time is maybe a bit shaky if you are not a computer mechanic but it's a trick worth knowing, works on almost any computer and short-circuits any attempt by software to go places you don't want.

I have fonts.google.com in mine, saves a ton of time loading sites. Plus it keeps their stupidass fonts out of my sight

Hopefully you are not using the latest greatest; as usual they are effing up everything that moves because software people are assholes.

...because software people are assholes.

HEY I'm a former and sometimes software person and I resemble that remark.

And thanks for the tip on spaces.reposerve.com -- I was too lazy and indifferent to do anything about it on my system.

Back in the beginning they did some neat stuff. Really neat, actually.

But these days "assholes" does not begin to describe the depths of their uselessness
