Neopets not loading
Sat Nov 26, 2005 4:09 pm
About 6 hours ago I went to Neopets to collect my daylies and other things, and it worked. Now I try to enter again, and the site works if I'm not login, but if I login it doesn't load.
I'm using Firefox (but it does the same in IExplorer) and it says it's waiting for servedby.advertising.com (you can see it here http://galeon.com/ampanacio/waiting.gif)
Does this happen to anyone else? What can I do?

I'm using IE, and it's terrible for me, too.

I was just on a half hour ago and it was fine. Now, it's like mud.

It's working fine for me and I'm using IE

All morning I've had to refresh 5 or 6 times to see one page.

I'm using Mozilla, and it's working fine!

It looks like your browser is trying to load a javascript from servedby.advertising.com (ads). servedby.advertising.com times out -- the browser does not render the page until this has happened (about 30 seconds in IE, probably more in FF).
People who have them blocked do not experience this. (Funny -- ads actually reduce quality of user experience)

same here, i have to keep refreshing the page until an ad that doesn't come from that one server comes up.
this on top of the flash banner ad with the ipods that crashes my browser. i swear, i've sent in like three ad reports in the last few weeks alone.

Do you know how can I block them? (I have the top ones blocked but not the bottom ones)

But I've been having huge problems for about the past hour trying to load nearly every page, and I have premium so no ads for me. I have to refresh each page several times for it to load - and I've cleared my temporary interent files etc so it's not that. Very annoying!

mousapelli: That iPod advert messed my computer up too (it used to freeze for about 20 seconds, not handy when trying to navigate the Repository) - that was the advert that finally forced me to download Adblock for Firefox. I'd never minded the ads before, they were unobtrusive enough. Now, because of that one obtrusive one, I don't see any adverts at all. Clever move, TNT.

Problem solved 
I downloaded Adblock for Firefox and blocked everything from that site(servedby.something). I recommend to everyone that uses Firefox to download it.
Thanks!

You know, when everybody else was reporting slowdowns, I was going quite speedily... I guess I'm getting my just rewards, though... I can't do anything ther enow! Anybody else having this problem right now?
