In order to assist we need more information, such as:
1) Do you notice any specific ad when the issue occurs, such as a video or flash ad? If so, you need to provide us with a screen capture and click through link. Even if the browser appears locked, the screen capture function should still work.
2) Provide what browser and version you're using.
3) State if you have any browser extensions.

Unfortunately that doesn't help narrow down the problem as all ads aren't freezing the browser. We also need the requested information above.
I used IE 10 to browse around and despite the ads, and video ad, my browser did not lock up. I can say that I noticed some lag with IE that I don't with the Firefox browser I normally use.
I wouldn't be too surprised if it's an issue that's related to certain environments using the flash plugin, which can be used for video.

Seems to be the ads that play uncontrolled at the bottom of a page, or off to the side. Both lap top, and desk top just do the beach ball , can't get it to do anything, including X out of CF let alone get a screen capture. Sometimes it Xes out all by itself. No problems on other sites.

It's at it again. Freezes the site and all I get is a quick running list of "Waiting for xxxxxxx" across the grey scroll line. Same as last time when it was dismissed as being some kind of ad generator that was being corrected.

Not sure I understand why you say it was dismissed. I made it known that it was being looked into and that it was also found and corrected. It was corrected as members indicated at the time.

I have been receiving the following error message for three days continuous. But no explanation or instructions on what to do about it!

From: I tend to be leery of any guy who doesn't own a chainsaw or a handgun.
Still having slow operation here on this forum. Other sites run fine. Downloaded Adblock plus as recommended by a member. Might have improved things, but not perfect yet. This thread locked up on me a minute ago, and I had to re-sign in again.
Still working to try a couple other previous suggestions, but for now, perhaps an off immediate-topic question. Is there a way to disable the advertising videos at the end of what seems like every thread? I'm less annoyed at continually having to watch the KY lube advertisements as I'm concerned about the data/download quantity each time I visit another thread. I'm out in the boonies, and my only internet connection is a metered setup from one of the local cell companies. If possible, I'd like to not have to be continually billed for the data flow that these advertisements consume.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Had some problems with excessive CPU usage and slow jerky scrolling that cleared up after about fifteen minutes.
The flash ad at the top of the right column seemed suspicious. At various times I saw:
An all white block
An all white block with an explanation point in a circle
A Goodyear ad
a progressive ad
A view pdf ad
OS & browser are W7 and IE11. I don't know how to tell for sure what element on a page is causing the problems. Suggestions?
I appreciate the necessity for ads. I do not appreciate the necessity for poorly executed crap that impacts the functionality of a site.

Hello, having the scrolling issues also on every thread. Either scrolling is very slow, or is jerky, randomly going from top to bottom.
Using Google chrome with IBM Trusteer extension (have to with my bank). All other sites zero problems.
Let me know what else you need to help.
Thank you,
John

Are you logged in or not when the issue occurs? Do you have any video ads that appear whenever the issue occurs?

OK but was there a video ad when you wasn't logged in and the issue occurred?
More ads are displayed to viewers not logged in. This has been the case for quite some time and that's probably going to need to continue.
Some environments on some computers do not handle flash/videos as well as others.

Delete your cache making sure it deletes CorvetteForum's data. If CorvetteForum is marked as a Favorite then you will need to deselect the Preserve Favorites Data option.
If that doesn't work, Microsoft's suggestion is to turn off IE and back on.
Further information is found here:

Did you actually do what I recommended as well as what Microsoft's website recommended?
If Microsoft can't fix your issue, I doubt we can. So make sure to follow their instructions as I posted.

I get that on a semi-regular basis with Off Topic and PR&C. I'll give JT's suggestions a try, and hope for the best.

Yesterday and today I'm getting the "Internet Explorer is closing the program" as well.
Windows 7 and IE10.
Never seen this problem before.
Only happens in Off Topic. I seem to be able to access all other parts of the site. Haven't downloaded any thing new.
I'll try the suggestions above.
Update: Above suggestions didn't work for me. However, IE is back to normal today. All that I did was download the current version of Firefox, which then required the current version of Adobe Flash. I wouldn't think that those two downloads would have anything to do with my IE issue, but it's working again.
