@StamperCat It is likely a plugin called flash that makes it slow. I went through logs and see you at least sometimes using firefox. This will help with a lot of sites if that's the case. Go here by copy and pasting this in the address bar > about:addons (you can also get there hitting the menu top right and going to addons)
Then head to Extensions on the left. Look for shockwave flash > Hit the drop down and 'Ask to Activate'. When you visit, it will keep that type from loading and slowing it down. You can also disable it completely and only use it on sites where it's required (like hulu atm I believe) so that it won't ask you if you want to continue blocking. Our main partner has flash disabled for us but a backup cannot do this yet.
If I'm mistaken and you're using another browser, it'd be a similar process but you may need to google that or send me a PM and I'll help as soon as I can.
This type of advertisement is dying out, because for one they slow down browsers and flash itself poses security risks. It would probably resolve the issue to disable that plugin and speed up numerous sites. I just did a test and that eliminated the slowness right away. I wish they'd just stop making flash ads, will write again to account managers to see if they're coming up with anything to filter out that kind, it's horrible for anything but Chrome
On Origin, using that link gives us credit for anything for at least 24 hours, so thank you
I don't have a way to disable the message about registering disabling ads on the forum, it is just a news bit that is displayed to everyone.
The news portion of the forum is not an ad, it displays to everyone regardless if you are a member or not. It is a default feature of the forum. It cannot be turned off.
