Anyone getting this "Script Pop-Up" - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

AB · 09-16-2008, 06:59 PM

Anyone getting this pop-up: A script on this page is causing Internet Explorer to run slowly. If it continues to run your computer may become unresponsive. Do you want to abort the script.

I've gotten it before on this site but it was over in the photo galleries that time, not I'm getting it on the main boards. And it's causing my computer to run really slow. Any ideas about it?

I get it when that stupid ad for Coconut's joke book pops up. I normally don't have any problems with the ads but that one causes my pc to freeze up and until it loads I can't do a damn thing.

I'm getting that too Ann. I thought It was just my computer.

Thanks for letting me know, I thought it was only happening to my computer.

It's been happening to me too.

try an ad blocker or disable scripts to see if that fixes it

^ How do you do that exactly?

Yeah, I would like to know that myself.

I've been getting it a lot lately - it's happened in the past, but I guess it's starting up again, and it's very annoying.

I'd disable the page scripts, but once I do that, it disables every internet page's script, so it's impossible to look at 2 things at once with doing that.

well in Firefox you'd install the Adblock Plus and the YesScript (or countless other script-blocking extensions)

for Internet Explorer it becomes a lot more difficult, you could read through this:

or you could try the IE7Pro add-on, but i can't say how complicated it is, or if its worth the trouble for just blocking ads.

^ Thanks for the suggestions & the link. I'll give it a shot!

Identifying the specific ad is a big help in tracking it down and removing it from the rotation.

Is anyone still seeing it? I don't see anything listed for Coconut's, so it likely was already removed.

I'm getting that pop-up too - both on my work and home PCs. GRRRR!!!!

Here are a few of the ads causing the problem:
