Blogs - taking forever to load and stuck

10 years ago

I have a handful of decorating blogs I check on a regular basis. Over the past few months I've noticed the one seems to get 'stuck' and all bogged down and I can't even scroll down most times. It's frustrating and I'm about done with it for that reason. Anyone else have this happen? Is it from stuff they're adding to the blog?

Hi Shee! I've had the same problem.. and it is so frustrating because when we *can* sit down and relax on our favorite sites and blogs, the last thing we want to deal with is the slog of a screen load. In my case, it's been the ads loading on the page.

Do you want to post a link to the blog and have others check to see whether its the blog or your computer?

mice are pretty smart lil things, and catch on to the traps. I have seen them eat all around without setting it off. Dave, when I use a live, have a heart trap its for the bigger critters...I could never kill them..I couldnt even kill a mouse. I just relocate into the woods. I only relocate the trouble makers, lol. If there's a critter here and he's causing no probs, I'll leave him be. I love critters. But, when one..like the raccoon starts destroying things, like my pond! He's gotta go. I hear him sometimes at night splashing around. I have so many rocks from around the sides missing, its ridiculous..plants knocked around..at least he hasn't gotten any fish yet. He did when they were in the smaller preformed ponds. Karyn, that's kinda gross...do you smell burning fur when they are getting zapped? ew. We don't have any mice since I let my cat start going outside. He's a hunter. Thats another reason I want the coon gone. I'm scared him and the cat are going to fight.

Thanks gardenerme and Annette. Tonight everything seems back to normal. Maybe I was just being impatient? But it only seemed to happen on GW not on other sites. Oh well, just glad it is working good tonight.

For loading the pictures I use the image hosting site photobucket.com You can create your account and load pictures for free. Under the uploaded pictures you can find: Url - "This is the direct link to your image. It is useful for email and instant messengers." Tag - "This is the html tag for your image. It is useful for websites, auctions and blogs." Img - "This is the bb code for your image. It is useful for message boards." I used so far Tag and Url (just copy what you find in TagÂs or Url's box into your message). Try it on Test forum, you can see the results immediately even using "Preview Message" button. There must be some other image hosting sites you can find them if not using photobucket.com. Ema

thanks ladies for all your nice comments and support, it means alot to me! I am jumping on here early at work, because you guessed it (those of you who know my computer troubles)! Argghhh I think my home lap top has totally crashed again. It worked off and on all of and hour or so yesterday, when I went to shut down it would NOT shut down. When I woke up this a.m. it had a blue screen saying: "A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer. It said to restart my computer. Well it won't restart! Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? I even tried doing a F8 which it suggested (on the fixed blue screen), nothing there worked either. I am going nuts here! Last time it crashed I took it to the Geek organization at the Big computer store, they did a terrible job, I had to bring it back 3 times for them to do it right, and they are supposedly computer people!!!!!! So if anyone knows which buttons I am supposed to hit please let me know (oh yes, I also tried Control-Alt-Delete, that did nothing either. I will try posting this in the computer section of GW too. This is just such a bad time to happen again..sigh...

Having the same problem lately. Am using Chrome and just noticed there is an update to it. Need to update and see what is new/available for options. This was part of my thinking.

The other is that blogs are taking a great deal of information from us when joining or just reading one found. I think this is getting worse along with all the ads, which sometimes do not look like ads but a link to one of their favorite blog lists.

The slow is also turning into locking up whatever windows are open. This one ticks me off. Chrome shows a "bad" load when this happens on all of my pages.

Anyone else with Chrome? Are you having the same problems? Updated?

Well you know what a blog addict I am Shee and I know we visit some of the same ones. Which blog is it, if you don't mind saying here? I have not had a problem. I do use bloglovin for the most part.

Blogs with a lot of photos such as Cote de Texas can take forever and a day to load. For the past few months I've been using the Newsify blog reader app on my ipad to read blogs; I really love the app, and for whatever reason, Cote de Texas and the like load quickly. I made the change when Google Reader was discontinued.

So far, Newsify is the closest thing I've found to paging through a magazine.

I have given up on Cote de Texas because of the slow load. I figured it was all the pictures and their size, but it probably is the ads too. I'll try bloglovin and see if it helps.

I stopped reading Cote de Texas a long time ago for the slow picture load.

Savvysouthernstyle is the blog I'm frustrated with. Everything appears to load find, but the page gets stuck for long periods of time and is buggy. I don't have this problem with any other site.

I'm going to look into bloglovin. Thanks!

Cote de Texas became unwieldy when she redesigned a while ago, using those large high def photos that take forever to load.

Ad Block Plus works well when the ads are a problem. GW had become terribly slow without it.
