... another user having serious problems with this. 80% of the time forum pages are not loading; just the Internet Brands Travel logo is displaying.

Really annoying, as the site is almost non-functional - I hope Tech Support can fix it soon!

I agree, it took 14 refreshes before I could load this page and comment.

Time to give flyertalk a rest for a few days

Similar for me on an IE 8 and v40 of chrome - work choices. Fine at home on stable release of Fitefox

Me too from the CCR yesterday - refreshing and other issues, just got the top line banner, the IB logo, and a blank page. Sufficiently frustrating that I simply gave up, and I know I have a high pain threshold! I suspect unregistered lurkers will be most impacted. Under VPN the situation wasn't helped by Russian banks advertising, which are blocked by my provider as part of sanctions.

Fine on my usual version (I'm allowed an ad-free FT profile).

I am having the same problem on both my home and work PC's.

Work has IE 10 - home has IE 11.

Cheers

Makes FT totally unusable on mobile :(

+1 - and seems to be getting worse, i.e. cannot open any FT pages, where before it might only occur ~30% of the time.

Same here - Safari and Chrome.

Well they appear to be as slow as my browser loading!!

Massive trouble again tonight. Maybe 1 page load in 10 attempts

I actually dont mind Ads but increasingly websites are getting greedy, so its their own fault if they dont get the revenue from people like me.

Same issue here on my ipad. Would get the 'there was a problem loading this page so it has been reloaded' message over and over. It would load after maybe 10 attempts and then the whole thng would start again on the next page.

Just here to say the exact same thing. I couldn't even write this response on my iPhone 6s on 9.1, so have done this on a desktop instead.

I've heard you guys and have reported the issue to tech. Sorry for the delay over the weekend.

padawanflyer Nov 2, 2015 2:57 pm

Wow. I hope this will post since it took me *many* refreshes to even get here. Here are my details, hope this helps:

I'm in Vancouver, Canada. FT has basically been unusable for me since Oct 27th or 28th last week. It's happened on the following:

Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 PC's at different locations
IE9 and Chrome v46, doesn't matter same problem. Can't see the boards or the messages, just the same "Internet Brands Travel" banner...

Anyways, I will check back in a couple weeks, but FT just isn't usable for me as it stands. Sorry, I don't have any screenshots.

This issue has made this site completely unusable for me. Have to reload 10 times in order to read one page. Tried on Chrome, IE, Firefox all the same (on Win10). Found a solution but not sure it is good for this site...

whiskerxx Nov 2, 2015 4:59 pm

mmmm....

maybe:

1) the techies are having trouble loading the page to post their update?
or
2) nobody cares
