Does the HF team test ad scripts or do they blindly get thrown up when the check clears ?

Safari, iPad, iPhone....PC, IE, Firefox...doesn't matter freeze and crash....you do realize this is undoubtedly effecting your precious traffic stats right ?

Seeing as that I don't think I was given the attention last time I brought it up, I'll bring it up here as well.
 
I would like to add that the picture viewer (when clicking on a picture to pop it out) freezes up safari (latest version) on OSX 10.7.
 
I have not tried other browsers, nor do I want to.

A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script will complete.

I'm having the same problem. I just joined this forum yesterday and I'm mainly on my iPad using Safari. My browser freezes and then crashes about 1/3 times I come here. It usually happens when I view a thread then press the back button. The problems getting really frustrating b/c it closes all my other pages I'm viewing on Safari.

I started noticing this about a week, maybe two, ago. Safari on IPad crashes when returning from a page. Happens in private and non-private mode.

Do you guys plan on addressing this...?...the site is virtually unviewable on the iPad, you do know right...?

How about I put it in terms that tend to alarm site owners...these crappy script driven ads are costing you eyeballs...that means the site is/will LOSE REVENUE !

Kthxbi

You just have to master not using the back button. I have it down pat.

Not an acceptable solution IMO...weak programmers should be held accountable...user experience should not have to be compromised to accommodate shoddy work...

As I was subject to attack on another web-site I went through many browsers and security programs . All failed Many big names.
            I now use a Russian browser and a Russian protection program Not Kasperski    [as used by businesses]  The browser has built in virus protection and the protection program [until I stopped it displaying]
                Shot up a script virus protection balloon.every time I clicked  You would be surprised at the number of high profile sites that do this some "big shot" names so I wouldnt be too hard on Head-Fi 
                    There are worse than them. I dont have a problem here on Head-Fi.

I just used the back button 10x on my iPad and it didn't freeze. Yay!

Speaking of iPad. Last week I could post pictures from my photos. Now I can't.

Edit: just crashed but it's better than it was

I'd like to report an issue as well. In firefox, closing a tab takes a lot of time, almost a second to respond. It only happens with head-fi pages. Haven't seen it in other browsers (yet).
Firefox 20.0.1
Linux
