Mouldy Punk Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 A cache-refresh seemed to fix it, but it happened again today. Clicking on the "stop" link seems to have worked though, so I'll guess i'll keep it stopped for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boo Berry Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Yep, same here. Just visiting the forum index in Firefox v2.0.0.6 causes the script error. It's being looked into and possibly fixed, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disable the autoupdates by clicking the "Stop" link and press Ctrl-F5 every day or so to ensure that you have the latest scripts rather than something old from your cache. Clearing your cache every day or so should do the same trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lunarworks Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Right.

Clearing your cache every day or so should do the same trick. I get the stall and unresponsive script error on the forum index each time I go to it. (FF 2.0.6, no relevant extensions.) But I'm not willing to clear my cache every day to avoid it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magik Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 My Macbook was also having problems recently. Seemed fine today, but i did get a message telling me about a non-responisve script. Same thing happened here whenever I opened a link that had the forum activity script at the top. It only seemed to happen on one of my firefox profiles so I just cleared the cache+cookies for Neowin and it started working again :) Same here. But going to an older theme without the Latest Forum Activity script seemed to solve the problem. It's a shame though, I kinda liked the Latest Forum Activity thing... ah well. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred Derf Veteran Posted August 6, 2007 Veteran Share Posted August 6, 2007 Dave just gave me a temp fix, just changed forum theme. Seems to work. There are many temp fixes. 1. Click the "Stop" link. 2. Minimize the header 3. Use another theme 4. Upgrade to a dual-core CPU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynnoj Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Just cleared my cache, and it seems to be working fine for me. A little slower than usual, but no excessive CPU usage like before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upgrade to a dual-core CPU Haha, I do have a dual-core CPU and sometimes Neowin hangs, regardless (though interestingly enough, not always). And yes, I do have the header enabled.

magik Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 I also have a dual-core CPU and it will hang at times (not every time, but its relatively frequent). But, come on now, upgrade to a dual-core CPU just to get a script working on a site? :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveLegg Developer Posted August 7, 2007 Developer Share Posted August 7, 2007 I think this has now been resolved. If you could all clear out your caches, switch back to the shift theme (if you changed away to avoid it), and let me know if it's now working for you or not.

If you could all clear out your caches, switch back to the shift theme (if you changed away to avoid it), and let me know if it's now working for you or not. For some reason the "Start" button on the script doesn't work. I've tried clearing all the cache, and tried it in IE7 and FX2.0.0.6 and it still won't start for me. I'm referring to the script on the forum pages that shows the most recent posts. The "Show more" button does work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay I tried that and here's what happened. I checked to see if it was working, and it was, so I logged in. It was working fine until I tried to click "Stop" and then "Start" again - after that it stopped working. If there's anything else you want me to try, or that I could try, let me know. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
