Garden web error--unresponsive script--is it just me?

13 years ago

Hi Guys--everytime I click on a thread or a forum, basically every time I want to change the screen on gardenweb today, I get an error message about this unresponsive script:

Script: http://graphics.gardenweb.com/stc/ivjs/new_s_code_iv.js:394

And I have to stop the script to go on. It's happening with both Internet Explorer and Firefox, and only on gardenweb. Is this happening to you guys, too? I already sent a message to the website, I'm just trying to figure out if this is something unique to me or if the whole site is messed up. Thanks everyone.

Absolutely not. It happens all the time with me.

Using: Mozilla firefox

I find that x-ing out of the dialogue box instead of responding to "stop script" or "continue script" to be more effective.

Thanks for bringing it up. Pulling hairs with it.

I use Google Chrome and haven't had any problems except for the last few days I have had a Google Ad for Chevy in the middle of the postings. Kind of weird, but I guess they have to pay the bills. I wish they would move it to the side of the page.

Well, it's not the not having a wants or trade list, it's the whole thing together, not providing a GW ID in the initial email, not wanting to give it once I requested it, then telling me they don't have a list up because they don't have the time to do it. I understand it takes some time to do. And one without the others, along with her wanting large amounts of seeds, large varieties, then getting rude, ugly and very angry when I requested her ID, all of it together was what raised flags. She seemed insulted that I would want to know her GW ID. Even outright told me that she wasn't scamming for seeds and had been around GW for about five years, but that she's not well known. After five years,I'd think that at least few people could give recommendations, even if they had no Rate and Review, etc. But I still need an ID to ask some of the people I know that are very active about them. And when I say large amounts and varieties I'm talking she wanted 14 different things and was dissatisfied with the amounts that I had. I think that generally my amounts are good, sometimes even generous. It was everything together that raised flags.

I just posted this by grabbing the html code on Flicker and copy and pasting it into the text. You get to it on flicker now by clicking on the finger pointing at the box. I had a lot of problems with flicker last week with their constant changing. They pushed me into the new (sucky) BETA EXPERIENCE. Pictures are bigger but the comment space and tittle space are much small and the way to get to the HTML /BBC code is much more convoluted and enigmatic. But I couldn't get to them at all because when I clicked on the cute finger pointing at he box thing, it brought up a box but it was hidden behind the photo. I could just see its edge. I did complain to flicker and they did fix it. It took a couple of days. Now I go to that box and it pulls up a window with some weird symbols that make no sense but through experimentation and deductive reasoning I realize that the symbols mean html and bbc. One is a tac and I can't remember the other already. They are not intuitive examples of graffics. Yesterday I woke up and I found myself back in the old Flicker. So they got that part of the complaint tooÃ¢ÂÂ¦..Or maybe it was all a bad dream. I went to frequently asked questions on their help line and described my problem in a email form that they had, and they did get to it. I can't remember how I found the help line. I get lost on sites and sometimes I get lost right but I would not know how to get back there. All these changes to the worse is making me anxious and down right beeetchy. I was thinking of going to Flickriver. Apple is doing this dumbing down action too. They are screwing up all their software.

Hi there! How does your garden grow? If it's beautiful, we would love to see it! We are putting together a video that would showcase members' gardens and would be featured on our site. Your garden doesn't have to be the biggest or best on the block. If it's colorful or interesting or just something that shows off your green thumb, we would love to see it! Interested? Please contact me ASAP by clicking on my profile. The only catch is that we are hoping to do this in the next couple of weeks, so don't delay. Best regards, Tamara Amey GardenWeb Community Manager Here is a link that might be useful: Email me!

No problems with my Kindle. But this same problem has occured in the past....sounds exactly like something many of us suffered through a couple of years ago. It did turn out to be an issue with the ad itself. Clearly, it's difficult to keep up with all of the glitches that pop up on a big and complex website such as this. The best thing we can do to resolve such an issue is to bring it to the attention of the administrators right away. Contrary to what some believe, these websites are not monitored on a regular basis......GardenWeb is self-policed. Do not hesitate to report a problem like this, or spamming, bullying, proselytizing, etc. immediately. If 'they ' see something as a real problem, they will do something about it. However, if the ads that appear on the top or right of the screen offend or annoy you, then a free site might not be for you. I ignore them completely, but appreciate that some just cannot do that. I sure hope that this problem is resolved for Casey and others soon.

Mia, I think it is a conspiracy. My husband kind of tricked me to go look at the 2012 Equinox because he thought I might like to have a newer one. The salesman quickly grabbed the keys and brought one up to the front for me to drive. I didn't drive it but I did get in and look.

When we got the one I have now, I had six grandchildren here for a few days, and they ran an TV ad for zero percent financing in Joplin. He wanted me to go right then and find one. I had already driven one and thought they were OK, but we had just bought a new truck, so I wasn't looking for a car. He said what do you want on the car. Since we live in an area with quite a few hills, I didn't want to give up my four-wheel drive. My mother was still living at the time and I was having to make a lot of 300 mile trips so I said I wanted cruise control.

He called from the dealer and told me they had two left with four wheel drive and cruise control. He told me the two colors they had, and I picked one. You can see how really excited I get over a new car. Needless to say, he has liked it a lot better than I have, but it's OK. LOL

Now GardenWeb has this big ad, that every time I open a thread that says Chevy Equinox Sale 2012. I'm glad to know that it is on your computer too and that I'm not being targeted. LOL

After hearing the forecast for this week, I probably should be shopping for an ark.

Same here for random GW errors. I get them constantly, along with my antivirus software alerting me to problems. It's always putting something in a vault.

I went months without being able to log on here. Now, it just logs me off every couple days but has been letting me back in.

I've had trouble of some sort with GW for all of the years I've been here. And that's a lot of years. You'd think they'd have had time to figure it all out and fix it at some point over the last nine years. LOL

I'm having trouble and I am using Firefox. I do not normally have any trouble with Firefox and GW, so I think it is a new glitch.

I just hit the "stop script" button too.

Maybe it is a conspiracy to get us Firefox users to stop blocking ads :)

GW's explanation (of course it is the fault of naughty garden gnomes) and some workarounds can be find at the link.

I use Google Chrome and haven't had any problems.

A temporary "fix" for now is to go to Internet Options, Content, and disable Java Script. Works!

It's the stupid ads. They can't do anything about it without removing the ad, I betcha. They're certainly not going to do that after getting paid. lol
