Default Forum is Crashing My Work Computer Browser

Has anyone else been having trouble using the forum with Windows 7? My work just switched to Windows 7 and the Internet Explorer crashes when I try to open the HD Forum.

IE 10 constantly locks up trying to open this forum, both on my work and home computer (not that I ever access this forum from work).

I had a lot of problems with the forum using IE,I think all of the adds were causing problems. Went with google chrome with add blocker plus.works a lot better and quicker now...

I notice that MSN home page is a massive memory hog. I close it 1st thing and that helps but windows 7 and 8 are memory hogs too and I have to close and reopen IE and firefox often

This site makes it's money off of adds. If you click on one of the sponsors and buy stuff they make a %. Lots of these sponsors are good companies you buy from already so help out the forum click on their site from here. That being said These popup adds SUCK and the forum admin does have control to stop them.

I normally run Chrome, but I just checked the forum on IE and didn't have any issues. What version of IE are you using? Is your computer on active directory?

I'm on my iPad all day here and I rarely get pop up and ads. And I don't have any kind of blocker.

The OS isn't your issue it's the HDF site ads. IE8/9/10 will work fine just install an ad blocker.

Try installing pornblocker.com. That should help.

Sadly, we are not allowed to install anything on the work computers. I am using IE 8.
