Several of you have mentioned that you’re getting messages on Internet Explorer that my site is trying to run some sort of script that is slowing down your computer or otherwise causing problems accessing this site. First, I apologize for the problems. I’ve been unsuccessful trying to debug this problem myself, so I have now turned to an expert. However, it will probably be a day or so before he can look at it. I just wanted you to know that I’m aware of the problem and am trying to get it corrected as soon as possible.
One of things making it hard to debug is that I don’t actually get any of these messages that are being reported to me. When I look up the site using either Firefox (my preferred browser) or Internet Explorer, it loads just fine. So, I’m working blind, so to speak, in my efforts to fix the issue. Thanks for your patience and understanding.
It seems to have been happening ever since you made the big time on the Drudge Report.
Your site in Chrome is as slow as Billy Dennis in a buffet line.
I get the same errors when I log in through IE. I usually use Firefox and don’t have problems through there.
I’m wondering if the accuweather widget gets stuck in a data loading stage as it runs a script to try to refresh with the latest icons, etc.
this is the first time i have gotten into the site without any problems. looks like the problem has been fixed.
FYI … your site is working again … no more error messages. Thank you for your efforts to promote dialogue and to keep our community informed.
Yup, it appears the script errors are now gone. CJ is apparently a computer nerd!
No problems getting in for me either. I am glad you got it fixed as quickly as you did. I was truly suffering from Chronicle withdrawal.
What a relief! Thanks, C.J.
My thanks to my tech-savvy friend who wishes to remain anonymous. He figured out it was one of the plugins on my site that was causing the problem. It turns out it was a plugin that I didn’t really need (it provided a redundant function), so removing it was the easiest fix. Glad to hear that it’s working again!
Also, thank you to everyone who alerted me to the problem; since it wasn’t happening to me, I never would have known there was an issue if you hadn’t told me.
Was it as slow as Emtronics trying to process mail?
Billy, I don’t process mail. But, here’s to looking up your address.
