    If the sister site is freezing or giving you a white screen today, **DISABLE YOUR ADBLOCKER!** I use uBlock, and turning it off immediately fixed the issue. Just wanted to share the quick solution!

    It was happening in my firefox too. I just tried it again with ublock enabled, now it load normally. Maybe it has been fixed.

    It doesn't ask me about the ad blocker; the page is there but I can't do anything with it, it's frozen!

    The page was frozen, not the browser. I just disable the adblock extension and reopen sister site and it loads. It will not ask you anything about adblocker, Some browser like opera has a built in adblocker, if you are using that try disabling it. But right now it loads normally when ublock enabled. :dunno:

    Intrusive advertising without adblock. I'm out of here!

    Same results with Ublock Origin (not the "lite" version) on Opera - page won't scroll and is locked up. But Ublock Origin Lite on the "Basic" setting in Chrome worked without being overly objectionable.

    If I remember correctly, there is a note when you install UBlock Origin, that you should leave the Opera popup and ad blocker off.

    The only time I ever get popups on sister site is when I have cleared my browser history and not notice I need to login again. Ublock Origin and Opera One.

    What the hell have they done now?
    Anyway, can't interact with the elements on the site, even with Adblocker turned off.
    Guess it's just broken for now.

    Opera never gives me any issues, my main browser since it was released, never lets me down.
    BTW: I also like the portable version to carry around on a USB.

    For Firefox: Use the Add-On:
    Mobile View Switcher.
    Turn it on before you try to open the page. It works perfect :)

    Good call!!

    I turned on my User-Agent Emulator and set it to i-phone/safari. Works fine. Leave ad blocker alone because you need badly it for that site.

    Strange... it only freezes when I'm not logged in, and still works normally after logging in (still needed to switch to mobile view to access the login panel)

    it's not strange - logged in members don't get any ads, it's been discussed many times previously and written on every page in one of the most visible places, so i don't understand comments like this :dunno:

    [​IMG]

    regarding the current situation while not logged in - probably caused by some nasty popup which has already been removed by the advertisement network.

    Let me know if anyone still experiencing this problem.

    Thanks for the tip, everything's working again now.

    P.S.: Finally, I can enjoy the ads! Forcibly freezing the website to display ads is quite an aggressive way to generate revenue.
