I'm sick and tired of problems...

It isn't the WC site that's causing this problem.  What browser are you using?  What OS and SP level?  What pc do you have?

yes it is this site big dog, i have the same problems but on a regular basis.

vista ultimate sp1 i/e7

personally i am pissed off with it too, and its taking the piss out of paying subscribers which is worse. even youtube is faster

supershaft I'm trying to assist the OP.  This site won't cause his browser to crash.  It may get slow now and then but, it won't crash someone's browser.

yes.... it does

7 years I had WC as my homepage but it causes too many ftreezes, pauses, etc, I had to crack and change my homepage.

It hasn't done that to me. Not with ie6,7 nor FF2,3 nor Oprea (multiple versions). It does slow down at times to a snail's pace but NEVER crashed me. Not once over 14 plus years.

Sorry for your problem but I'm far from convinced it's the site, NT.

yep....

I have made a post earlier about this issue. https://forums.wincustomize.com/326577

I'm using ie7 and have never had a browser crash at WC.  I have at some other sites, Adobe being an example.  MS has admitted that ie7 has some issues on SOME systems on SOME sites.  IE8 is suppose to be fixing this.  The problem with ie8 is that some sites don't render properly yet without using the compatabilty button.

I hate to say it SuperShaft but you seem to be pissed off at everything.  Maybe try being congenial and being part of the group would help you get your issues solved.  If nothing else it would probably lower your blood pressure.

I use IE 7 and Google Chrome. No problems.

No crashes here, and I've used every single major browser on the web. From the 'fox to the Chrome, from Opera to Flock, IE to Safari , WC works for me.

Windows XP SP3.

Wincustomize has never crashed my browsers (IE6/7, FF1/2/3)

I would just like to say that if the OP's problem is browser crashing that could be due to things such as excessive toolbars, plugins, lack of browser maintenance, connectivity problems with his ISP, outdated  system drivers such as used with a lan card and DSL modem for Internet access, and failure to update with MS and the pc manufacturer. 

The web site itself isn't the cause of this problem (browser crashing) because if it were then it would be happening to many people.  If what the OP is complaining about is occasional site slowness then that does happen now and then.  Furthermore, if you look at my laundry list of system related issues and start there you will at least possibly eliminate your own net surfing habits and pc maintenance habits as the source of problems.

It crashes here also. Vista, Vista Ultimate and XP using IE7. Some of the page shows up and then it freezes, nothing in explorer is acessable (tool bars, links, back button). If I try to do anything the whole screen goes white and I get an error that says "Internet Explorer is not responding". I have to bring up the task manager to close it out. If I let it sit for about 10 minutes the page loads. All other site are working fine it's only this one I have a problem with. The only time it seems ok is late at night or early in the morning.

Yes everything is up to date, no plugins. Everything is the same as it always been.

On a side note I noticed that the GUIC website does the same thing.

I'm not seeing what you describe at all ALMonty.  How often do you delete temporary files, cookies and history from IE7?  How are you connecting to the Internet through a proxy server?  Are you behind some type of Lan based firewall?

Well it could be worse! could it not?

GT

Apostacy! LOL....well, It looks like a mix of brand+browser+software mix+site= crash. Sorry it's happened to y'all. Alternatively, maybe it just doesn't like you...lol.

Its definitely WIncustomize site that is slow, try ESPN, MSNBC, etc, they are instant, the wincustomize site comes and goes,w hile i was on it this morning, i couldnt get the "windowblinds" gallery to open, came back about 20 mins later, and it was running well then, any other site that i visit on a regular basis loads at the speed it always does

You are absolutely correct

BD:  I am running through a DSL and the temporary files, cookies and history are cleaned about once a month, the firewall is running through my internet security. I just cleaned all my internet stuff And turned off the firewall with the same result the Home page loaded in about 4 minutes. I still don't think it has to do with anything on my end. Every other website I visit loads in about 5 seconds. Example: when I go to DA, for the page to completely load 4 1/2 seconds, MaxStyles about 3 seconds.

Next time it doesn't load properly, hit F5. Does it load immediately? 

Yes it does. Here's a pic of what I'm seeing while I'm waiting for the page to load.

Got a script blocker running?

Like several others, I have become disenchanted with the loading of this site. It's a shame as I enjoy my visits here but these have become more infrequent over the past few months due to mainly the speed factor. It's nothing to do with my browser, plug-ins etc etc as every other website (including other similar graphics intense sites) I visit, load much faster on my high speed internet connection. It's purely a Wincustomiae thing. I saw recently in a news item that the servers were being moved. I hope this fixes the matter otherwise it will be hard to justify renewing my subscription to the site. I know I'm not the only one that feels like this. And as ALMonty points out it was the same with the GUIC site the other night.

I have Disable script debugging in Internet Explorer and other checked in the Internet tools/Advance. If that's what you mean.

There's no doubt this is not the fastest horse in the race (far from it), but some seem to have 'more severe' access problems then the rest of us.

Actually, I was referring to your browser security settings and any other security apps you have running.

Open Impulse/ Forums....does it load immediately on a consistent basis?

What I noticed about the GUIC website in IE7 at the bottom in the status bar it stops at 45 items to load. It seems like the advertisement at the top of the page is slow loading which was SnagIt. A couple of seconds after it finishes the page loads fine.

Funny we're talking about a couple of minutes or seconds. Like I have some place to go.
