TreeHugger Reader Feedback Request
by Jeremy McCumber on 09. 9.05
TreeHugger strives to offer the best viewing experience possible. Unfortunately, recently we have heard from readers who have had problems with their browser crashing when attempting to load TreeHugger. To get to the root of the problem we want to see what percentage of readers are experiencing these technical difficulties.
While it hasn't happened to me, it seems that wether or not it happens to a majority doesn't matter, it about if it happens at all.
Is the problem reproducible? Ask for the browser and operating system versions, along with any browser plugins, and what they did to crash it. Did just loading crash it, or was it when they clicked on search? Was it when ads were turned on? what about when javascript is turned off?
Works fine in Safari 2.0.1, Mozilla 1.7, Deerpark Alpha2, and Opera 8.02 on OSX 10.4.2.
Also works fine using Firefox 1.0.6 and IE 6
when something is very intermittent like this, it's worth examining the banner ads you carry, since they are the source of some quite large percentage of the code-level variation in a typical site.
I wanted to use answer the survey, but my browser crashed when I tried to.
Just kidding. But with the millions of ads on this site, I'm not surprised people have had problems. Firefox struggles to render the page sometimes.
I got a flash of unstyled content on Safari and IE 5.2, but no crash. Works fine on Firefox 1.0.6. I'm running OSX Tiger.
Works fine on Mandrake Linux 10.1 using Mozilla, Firefox and Konqueror.
Not here, but I don't come here that much, but complicated Flash ads etc. will bork my Firefox browser running on Linux
I have not had any crashes here but I have had crashes at yahoo and discovered it was a certain flash ad that killed my browser. Firefox 1.06
For all of you out there then, it looks & works great in Mac OS 10.42 & Firefox 1.5 Beta 1.
Also-I go thru Bloglines. It works for me.
Spyware ads complications that are unreproduceable.
No problems here (using Firefox 1.06 on Linux and Firefox 1.06 on Windows).
this is more then likely from a lack of ram, there is simply to many images per page.just use www.treehugger.com/index.php/pda if your having trouble
Hi there, sometimes it happens to me at work, I use Netscape 7.0 for Mac OS 9.2 (that's pretty old, I know..). At home I have Firefox for windows and never ever happened.
best
Oddly enough, it has never crashed until I tried to answer "NO" for the survey. Go figure?
I can't view TreeHugger via Firefox anymore. The page just blanks out and never stops trying to load. Locks up the whole browser. Acts like a DNS issue but never seems to timeout.
For those of you having troubles with ads and are using Firefox, adblock is an excellent tool that will solve all of your problems.
