Hi! I am no expert on the site but having increasing difficulties. As I type pop ups are taking over, alerts are not coming through, pages have to reload and freezing. I have to log out and back in but even then I can’t always get in. What can I do?
Don't know if it will help but I use a VPN and most pop ups are disabled because they can't trace back through the VPN server. At least this is what I have been told. So I have had no issues with any of the adds or anything like that. I don't close the tabs I am using when I close Firefox (what I use) and it is set to resume/reopen the last session when I restart so I essentially never have to log back in as Firefox does it automatically. The down side is that I have the tendency to leave open all the tabs I have been working with so I don't have to look stuff up again. The tally of that is over 500 and as a result sometimes this web site pauses and I get a yellow bar that says it's not responding but that is because I have maxed out the size of the allocated cash for the web browser. It's my fault not yours. When that happens I simply close Firefox and restart and I am back to where I was but with the cash cleared and plenty of working memory. So, I doubt this helps you figure things out but you have it for what it's worth. I would tend to think these people are having problems with addware and spyware rather than your web site.We've been investigating and so far couldn't track down any issues with the server. The reports aren't widespread and what's more, there is no consistency, making it impossible for us to reproduce so we can track them down.
Since the server looks ok on our end, this could be an ISP issue, or even a local computer issue. Having said that, we'll definitely keep an eye out, taking these reports into account, so thank you again for reporting! If you see anything else, please do let us know.
That seems to be a problem with tablets. Mine does the same thing. (The most annoying thing is having to touch something 6 or 8 times to connect.) I'm on my desktop computer right now, and none of the problems everyone is having with TCS are appearing. Maybe it's the tablets or phones, not the site.I use a tablet and stylus, and I also have a problem with the page jumping up and down several times, resulting in tapping on the wrong item. Also, sometimes when I attempt to scroll down on a page, it jumps back to the top of the page all by itself.
I don't have the issues I described when I'm on my desktop eitherI'm on my desktop computer right now, and none of the problems everyone is having with TCS are appearing.
I don't see how more visitors would affect that. TCS isn't exceptionally ad-intense or script-heavy but I guess older devices could have an issue with modern sites in general?- This from an IT nerd I asked -
~ As a website becomes more "busy" ( more visitors/ ads/ script/ etc ) you will need more memory and processor. Try clearing the cache on your device & check to see available memory. You may also wait 30-60 seconds immediately after entering the site to allow time to load completely . `
~ Yes exactly what I think. And today "older" is only a few years ....I guess older devices could have an issue with modern sites in general?
~ Are things still jumping around ?Everything performed without any difficulty so it appears my equipment is functioning.
~ Are things still jumping around ?
~ If you are on Wi-Fi the speed can vary. Other than that I do not know.At night it begins to get difficult again. Signal strength? Interference?

Regarding the jumpy-ness/jerkiness, I don't know if this is the same as Jcatbird but when I'm on my phone, I have to wait until all the ads are loaded, because while they are loading the body of the TCS page I want to work with literally jerks up and down.

Right, phones and small screens are more of a challenge with ad loading in general. I see that on other sites too. I believe this has to do not only with the ads but also with the way the template is constructed.
Sorry for the multiple quotes, but I feel they are all relate to my possible theory...As a website becomes more "busy" ( more visitors/ ads/ script/ etc ) you will need more memory and processor.
