I have a relatively new laptop with no memory issues or anything like that....also no viruses and consistently get 90 - 100 mbps download and 20 - 25 mbps upload speeds.....yet TexAgs slows everything to a crawl and heaven forbid I leave it minimized and walk away for awhile or things really bog down.

Constantly get messages like "waiting for sjc.usadmmm", "connecting to ads.adaptive.advertising", "resolving host", etc....etc...always trying to load a ton of crap constantly.

I have been on TexAgs since 1998 but have just about had it and am ready to walk away completely unless someone knows of a solution for this!

Same here.

it's becoming unusable.

It's doing this in both Chrome and IE.

and now ads are playing audio too

This.

Makes it damn hard to be on here at the office when some random ad starts playing audio whenever I open a page.

I am on Chrome as well...I work from home, but I would fear that the bandwidth suckage would be a red flag if I was still in a corporate environment....

Guess no one from TexAgs Staff cares to comment or make a suggestion....

Agreed. I'm walking away also. It's unusable

Check the other thread. It seems like they've been looking into it for a few weeks and don't really know what is causing it

I can barely post anything before the Google ad pop-up appears.

Thanks for the heads up on the other thread. After reading through it, I think what is happening to me is that my pop up blocker is going nuts trying to kill so many ads.

After so many positives through the years, I would hate to see something like this turn everyone away. Hopefully they can get it fixed ASAP and I just hope they realize the scope of the problem and the potential it has to harm their business....

Yep, took me 3 tries to post this. And it's only on TexAgs. Everything else fine.

Thanks staff. We gripe but we appreciate it.

It's a very fair thing to gripe about.

Agreed. And so far it's not any better

Ironic that this showed up on my screen while reading your response.

Yep this is the one. This has got to go.

Resorted to using Firefox.

Only problem is that the Twitters are now invisible.

No slow downs etc.

When using IE I have been dealing with IE crashing or locking up.

I am guessing my AV software is catching most of the bad stuff in the background.

If on a Mobile try using the brave browser. It is based on chrome but has ad blocking. I haven't gone back to chrome since using it due to the pop ups.

test

Still have ads playing audio.

I haven't tried the mobile this morning but that's the same crap I get regularly these days on my iPad

Desktop

On mobile and getting popup ads... as in, it redirects me to a different site that says I've won a gift card to Amazon, another to walmart.
