Anyone else having issues using this forum on Windows 10 and edge and IE?

[peashooter14]

Posting messages has become impossible in Windows 10 edge and IE. When typing in the text window, it hangs all the time and doesn't register keystrokes. Chrome appears to work better. Any fixes for edge or IE?

Hmm, it appears to be the Java or Shockwave plug in. NICE...

I haven't had any issues posting at all.

I have had, but sometimes.

I tried to edit a couple posts, and they got deleted instead.
Switched back to chrome.

My bigger problem, is waiting for the adds to load so I can begin navigating the page, when using the Continuum Dock.

I cannot post type and post messages in windows 10 ie11 I have to type them in word and paste them into the reply column ie also crashes ie11 when viewing threads. I use windows 7 and ie11 at work and that even hangs the website

It's the Ad's, they are miserable. Just downloaded a custom hosts file online, and the ads are now gone and the site is actually usable. I figured it out when I accidentally had my volume on, and all of a sudden I am hearing audio on this site....I was like WTF, then I realized all the add banners are probably using flash and java, and that is what is hosing the performance...

backup your hosts file and put a new on in there:
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc

If you're using IE11 and haven't enabled Tracking Protection (which when you use EasyList happens to also block most ads), you're doing it wrong.

Tracking Protection is found under Manage add-ons.

This is the only way the WC site is usable for me.

I just found the phone gets really hot browsing WC with Edge, the same for my surface pro 4.

yes! surfing on this forum is atrocious with all the ads blaring unexpectedly and the constant freezes AND IE crashes... I know you gotta make a living but stop being greedy and obnoxious with the ADS... its getting very frustrating and UN-enjoyable
