yeah freezing my machine as well..

[SKY031]

Seems to be working fine.... ?

Is that the Automatic ECU thread? I get the same thing and have since not bothered clicking on it... maybe I've been banned from all Auto ECU discussions

No, its caused by people having stuff in thier sigs.

If they are hosted on something like imageshack or whatever, it can take upto 3-4mins to load the page because loading stuff from thier crap servers takes forever

Its a MAJOR pain in the ass if your on dial up, or slower ADSL, i dont notice it at home (usually 10 secs to load), but i do here at work which is around 30 seconds.

So to fix it, diable sigs in your profile, or wait 5 mins for the page to load.

Just dont click on it for a few mins or it might hang it again

i permanently have sigs disabled. so much rubbish in them.

There are only 2 sigs with images in the thread.

one is hosted on iinet the other(s) are from userbars.com

There are more sig images in this thread than there are in the one in question.

One of the avatar images is hosted on ns.com

If users have been IP banned from NS, would that stop the image from loading?

Humour me...

if the above thread won't load, see if this thread loads for you

yep that thread loads fine.

im running adsl2 so why does the auto ecu thread still take 5 min to load?

[Sl!m]

ooh it finally opened

[R31Nismoid]

It will work... eventually

im running 2+ and my ADSL2 loads that no worries. 5 secs or so.

But ADSL2+ doesnt mean instantly fast.

There are variables... either way, its not "freezing" its waiting for images to come

[Sl!m]

im on work server.. i can download things @ ubermb/s

so its not teh speed of ur net its ted speed of whereever teh crappy things are hosted

[thizzle]

i got this prob 2..had to ignore a user who has his sig on a .de server

everythread he replies in freezes...now they load fine..

yeah its been happening on more and more threads lately.. im going to have to turn off sigs

[R31Nismoid]

There are a few suspects, monkeyb0y or whatever is one that ive noticed, where his sig is hosted takes ages to reply.

if i notice it i'll try and get the users to change as its just holding everyone up

[PranK]

Yeah some peoples sigs are just ridiculous. I might bring it up with the other mods to see whether its time to remove sig images again.
