Very slow loading of pages on flyertalk.com and forums
Is anyone seeing very slow loading of pages on flyertalk? Pretty much any page takes so long that my browser wants to close the tab. I'm seeing this on Chrome and IE. I see a lot of messages in the status bar about "waiting for secure.adnxs.com" which I think is some kind of tracker. I can't see the other sites because they go by too quickly.

I am having the same problems, less so on IE but it is unreadable on chrome on multiple OS's. I had to stop a script from running on IE to get to post this.
Basically this website is done for me until you can fix it. Unreadable and certainly can't access things like my flyertalk.

Just chiming in with another data point in regards to this annoying "waiting for secure.adnxs.com" message. I get it both on Chrome and Mozilla while on a Windows 10 machine. I finally had to download AdBlocker just to be able to get here to read/post about it, so the message trying to guilt me into not using AdBlocker just cracks me up.

Same here. Adnxs also seemed to be the common redirect.
In Chrome on desktop, site would just load forever and time out.
In Chrome on Android, site would kind of load, and then Chrome would entirely crash.
I enabled the chrome://flags/#enable-framebusting-...or-usergesture flag and that seems to have made things slightly better on desktop, but mobile continues to crash.
Unfortunately this means I won't be using FT until this gets fixed.
