"leadfoot4" we will look further into the issue. I can confirm there is some occurrences of IE locking up.
Anyone who is willing, I would like to confirm if you could delete your IE's history, cache and cookies and then come straight to CorvetteForum and note if the issue is present right away or not.

I am running IE 11 and I fixed the issue by running the forum in compatibility mode.
I have a feeling that the issue is a Windows Update/IE Update/ or some sort of active x control issue. Or some sort of IE add on. Just a guess.

As you know and I've noted before, we need to see a screen capture and a click-through link if we're to be able to look into the issue. We can't efficiently resolve such issues without some key information.
Some ads are served specifically to you based on factors. It's why I would see ads for local GM dealerships. That means a rouge ad for some off the wall site could be served to you based on browser or IP address history or IP address geo location.
CorvetteForum does not use true "pop-up" ads. If you're seeing one, it's either a rouge ad through the network or your machine is infected.
Although the common followup reply to that is that it only happens on CorvetteForum, saving the technical points, that actually is not conclusive to say the issue is from CorvetteForum.

The issue with the browser locking up, as reported by members, was resolved on Monday to our knowledge based on our findings and the feedback we received. I don't believe it was related to this issue except for timing.
Like I said, we really need a screen capture and a click-through link to locate the ad. There's not enough information there for us to go further on, as you also understand since you don't know what the ad is about!
I would probably try clearing your browser's cache because that ad could be served based on your browser's history.

Yes, things are much better now, but not 100% yet. At one point it had gotten so bad that I deleted the CF from my IE tabs. Still experiencing intermittent lockups during login tho. Been working around that by clicking on the stop "X" on the browser bar ASAP when the page comes up, which appears to stop whatever script is at fault. FWIW, up to date Windows 8.1 & IE, running on a Core i5 ThinkPad.

It will be an interesting experiment for me.....I was out of town for a couple of days, and haven't been here since very early Monday morning. My first time back since then......
