Tsai · Posted: Tue Apr 21, 2009 7:27 am **Lord of the Lands link crashes browsers**

Admins,

When I visit the Lord of the Lands website, my browser freezes and eventually crashes.
I tried both Firefox and Internet Explorer on 3 different computers.
I also heard my kampaku has the same issue.

I think there are only 2 or 3 people on Yarolds using a Lord of the Lands link (including me!).

I have also sent a mail to the administrator of Lord of the Lands to ask what is causing these crashes and to solve the issue as soon as possible.

So I would like to ask you to temporarely disable all Lord of the Lands links on Yarold until the issue is resolved.

Also if someone is technically skilled enough to tell me what might cause these crashes, I would really appreciate if you tell me, so I can go with a more detailed issue case to the admin of Lord of the Lands.

Thanks,

Tsai

I think there is a problem with this link - I've had problems with it since last night as well, a bit intermittent but definitely getting slow down/shutdown problems with it.

I might be getting the same problem. I load about 10-15 (sometimes more if I'm in a hurry) links at once and this one, if i recall correctly, is always in the batch that causes my computer to freeze/lag for about 5 mins. I've never had this issue until recently and my tactic has always been as mentioned above. i can't even bring the task manager up when I get this freeze/lag.

I'd like to see it disabled as well 'til the issue is fixed.

Edit: no, it doesn't happen every time, but it happens enough that I've grown irritated by it.

Avast antivirus gives me warnings about virus on Lord of the Lands links. The name of the virus is JS.Redirector-G [trj], so I think it uses javascript to crash the browser, or something; haven't googled it yet. It isn't adverts' fault, because I always have Adblock plugin turned on...

It's also hard to avoid LofL links, because they are yellow and hard to see. o:

I haven't had any problems with Lord of the Land links. I had 2 of them
today, and no problems with them, either.

I also have the browser freezing problem with that site. Another issue is that my virus software often blocks a website associated with it (perhaps an ad server or cookie tracker that it's redirecting to?) as malicious. It's not often that I'm completely blocked from loading a webpage, so my hackles are up. If it doesn't stop, I'll probably end up having to block it.

Never had problems with virus or spyware or freezing browsers ...I use a good good firewall and antivirus program.

The administrator is not responding to my mails...

It has been acting up on me the past few day but yesterday and today it seems to have corrected itself and is loading quickly again and without any problem.

It is possible they had a malformed script on the page. It was irritating to say the least but it seems to be working again.

My A/V program didn't report a problem but the logs show it was analyzing the Lord of the Lands page for an excessively long period so there was some issue it didn't like.

If you're experiencing problems with that web site and have Win XP/2003, do the following:

- Go to the path: C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc
- Open the "host" file with the Notepad
- Copy the next line of text at the end of the file:

Code:

127.0.0.1 www.lordofthelands.nl

- Save the file and close it.
- Restart your web browser
- Be happy :mrgreen:

adblock is a plugin that can be configured in many ways.

- subscribe to more lists
- for lotl add "http://www.lordofthelands.nl/" to blocked list, you still will be able to make valid clicks

Tried Yarold's tip above about adding to the block list. It took a little time, but got the site to load, clicked the number but got " error, frame didn't load" . Tried reloading, but still no frame load.

So, this means the person gets a valid click, but we do not get the credit for clicking it, correct?

disabled frames for that one
