Almost every page on these forums tries to load this object but it never loads!...





It was mildly annoying to see the ie globe spinning constantly, and the progress bar never finish, but I got used to it and began to not notice anymore. Now I just upgraded to IE7 and ACK!!! The tabs all have spinning circles for all these never-ending loading object things!


w/e, I'll live. Just thought I'd mention it.

His point exactly haha

Firefox doesnt have that problem like Nicholas said so you might wanna try it out if it annoys you too much.

Dont see how that can happen - I am using Firefox and it is perfectally fine.

On another point about IE7:
My automatic windows updates asked me to get IE7. When I accepted, the program crashed out. I thought it was kinda ironic - What do you think?

It's only open source 'till money is involved

Well now it has stopped, and I noticed the ad all the way at the bottom if this page is now different. If you hover over that ad its a similar link to the one in my image above, with a different id. Now the spinny circle is gone and the tab shows the tgc icon.
Maybe Rich saw this and did something? Odd, but good.

Regarding ie7: Yeah, I have seen it for a while now in updates and have ignored it. I was interested in the tabbed browser but not enough so to get one of the alternatives. I finally decided to make a restore point and try out 7. With how embedded the browser is in MS OS's I am always leary of blindly updating to new versions. Sorry it crashed on you. I havent had any issues yet (luckily) and I am diggin' the tabs. Much more organized than having 20 windows open.

ok the spinny is back, but now I get whats happening. In the place where the google ad is trying to load there is an Nvidia ad in flash (at page bottom), I guess if the ad finally loads its displayed, if not the flash thing stays showing, but the browser continually indicates something is trying to load. Guess I spoke too soon above.

oh well.
I wonder if it ever times out.

I get it sometimes, it's nothing to do with the browser you use. It's Googles Adsense on a go-slow.

sounds like you're machine is having trouble communicating with the google ad server...

happened to me a while back to, and I'm using Firefox.

but it stopped recently. I also noticed that the Google ad at the bottom was a flash ad, and assumed that was what was not loading correctly. it was kind of annoying because it doesn't let you click any links while it's trying to load (and canceling the loading didn't work either ...)

yeah, its flash until it loads the add (if it ever does). You will get flash menu or browser menus by right clicking it, depending on its state at the time.

found some page source that deals with the area in question (top bit is remmed out)
