Title: Safari crashing when opening the forum.

I use Safari to browse and of late every time I open the link to our sacred halls,the browser crashes,sometimes multiple times.

Is it just me?

Edit..it crashed during this post.

@Skub (http://www.songwriterforum.co.uk/index.php?action=profile;u=20061) FWIW I use safari on an iPad and the site does not crash for me.

@Skub (http://www.songwriterforum.co.uk/index.php?action=profile;u=20061) I mainly use chrome and haven’t had any issues

Interestingly though I didn’t receive a notification from the “@tag” - could you let me know if you receive a notification for this message

I can’t think of a reason the webpage would crash a browser - @tone (http://www.songwriterforum.co.uk/index.php?action=profile;u=1) any thoughts?

Have you tried cleaning the browser cache and / or reinstalling latest version of browser??

Yo @Skub (http://www.songwriterforum.co.uk/index.php?action=profile;u=20061) which version of safari on which operating system?

Also, did the incidences of crashing coincide with the resumption of banner advertising at the top? If so, your browser is probably cross with the advertising code (sadly controlled by a third party, so out of my domain)

Let me know as many details as you can and I'll see what I can do.

@Boydie (http://www.songwriterforum.co.uk/index.php?action=profile;u=18510) I got a notification for my tag - let me know if you get one from me

Safari on Yosemite? Darnit, I can't test that cos my mac is 10 years old and won't upgrade beyond Lion... It is however, still shiny, so I'm keeping it for now ;)

Any more probs let me know sir.

Hmm my advice is to use Firefox  :D As that seems to have less problems than Safari IMO
