    I see that message if I click on the next page in a thread before the current page is finished loading -- don't think it matters much, other than that the number of items on the shopping cart icon at the top of the page might be wrong.

    As to the Rubicon crap...

    so does that mean my private messages ( and yours ) are being shared with a 3rd party without approval from me?

    as this comes up when I access my PMs no

    just in the last 10 minutes the forum has slowed to a crawl

     

    mainly because it is waiting for:

    rubicon

    ads.yahoo

    pubmatic !!

    rfihub

    doubleclick

    us-u-openx

    just to name a few... I miss the others that flash up

    looks like all our info is being shared and in the process slowing the forum to a crawl or time-out errors angry

    Perhaps you're experiencing the effects of the very first Windows upgrade problem you've had in 25 years... smiley

    I'm wondering if maybe it's a Windows 10 thing.

    But I'm guessing that it's more likely an internet connection/server problem in trying to connect with all of those sites. I'm not having any speed problems.

    no Joe it's not that..

     

    It's Daz

    but good try yes

    I was just joking about the Windows problem, but are you sure it's not an internet/server problem? Cuz like I say I'm not experiencing anything, so that would kinda rule out a DAZ problem wouldn't it?

    each time you open a forum page the site is talking to a dozen or more advertising sites...

    as I'm on the other side of the universe it is slower and I get to see them...

    just think.. all your posts and pms' are being read by someone or something and they are doing stuff with it!

    if it was an internet/server problem it would be happening to every site I visit.. which it doesn't ( only here ) and if you pop into the commons there is also a post about the slowness there as well..

    I believe I'm on the same side of the universe as you are. smiley

    However, I also think internet access is somewhat regional, in other words, different countries access a given site thru different, regional servers driven by local internet providers. Though I'm pretty much clueless about the details. But I'm pretty sure regional providers pay access fees for bandwidth thru other regional links, so an Asian country might have a problem with US websites, but be fine with Asian websites. Or something like that.

    Like I said, I'm not sure that's necessarily the case as I described above. I think there can be other explanations for slowness.

    Welcome to the internet. smiley

    Keep in mind this site is DAZ's property, and it's a service they provide. And there's a Privacy Policy that outlines what they do with some private info. And if you read the policy you realize it isn't at all comprehensive so you can only guess what they do with info they don't cover in the policy.

    BTW, why do you think PM's are being shared with others? Though I think it's safe to say that whatever is entered here is DAZ property or something like that since it's their website.

    is this making the forum more susseptable to spam?

     

    I too have noticed not only all the redirects but twice have had a persistent dns error which clearing the cache in command prompt did not fix neither could I find a trace path, it resolved itself eventually on its own after a few hours and I could once more visit the forum.

    Would this count as weird?  The threads in the Commons forum are in a different alphabet.
