Camry FAQ page not loading - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

twodoorcamry · 08-17-2011, 03:52 PM

I don't know if it's just on my computer, but the "Camry FAQ READ FIRST DIY" sticky (of the gen 3/4 forum) thread doesnt load for me. It just loads a blank page when I click on it.

Everything else on TN works fine for me.

Could someone in admin please look it up and possible restore this precious page?

Thanks

I'm having the same problem, but I could load the DIY section. It seems to be happening more and more recently. I figured it was my setup running maybe an older version of FireFox. So I upgraded to the newer version, 5.01 and it got worse, much worse. I installed all of the latest versions of Flash, Quicktime, and updated all the add ins. Cleared the cache, blah, blah, and still had problems with pages loading.

If I went to the main section everything was fine. Then click on a link, and normally a new window would open, everything seemed to load, the top banner, the side bar, and the footer. But there was no messages, just a blank page. If I reloaded the page, the text would appear maybe 1/2 the time. If I closed out the browser it would work fine, then revert to the same behavior.

I downloaded Google Chrome and installed it. It seemed to solve the problem at first, but then the same thing happened. Click on a link, you get the header, the sidebar, the footer, but no text. Re-load the page and it works maybe one out of three times.

Since this is a recent happening, I went back to an image I made at the first of August. I let Windows update run, but didn't allow any flash updates, nor did I allow Adobe to update. I didn't allow Windows to update the Net Framework either. I uninstalled Quicktime and removed all references in the startup sequence using SysInternals Autoruns that referred to Adobe, Flash, Apple Quicktime and any automatic updates. I left McAfee alone.

Things are much better using the 8/1/11 image. Now the pages load as they should, and only occasionally does the text not display. But the problem has not gone away completely. The image that I restored had FireFox 3.56 which I had used with no problems since it came out in 7/09-12/09.

Unfortunately TN is the only site where this problem occurs. And I'm at a loss as to why. I'll poke around a bit more and see if I can come up with anything conclusive.

Maybe the tech people at TN can offer some suggestions as well.

Try Internet Explorer or Netscape browsers as these have fewer problems loading pages.

I've never liked FireFox, Chrome or Safari....too slow and outdated.

Hope this helps!

Are you running AdBlock or something similar? If not, you should be. This site is so bloody ad-heavy all it takes is one broken ad to screw up page loading.

I wasn't running any sort of ad blocking program. Never crossed my mind.

I installed Adblock Plus 1.3.9 and will see if anything improves.

Good suggestion, thanks.

Well that's the ticket.

I installed AdBlock Plus and the effect was immediate.

All the pages loaded properly and much, much faster than they ever did.

I opened 12 tabs, and every one of them opened fine, all text displayed as it should.

Problem solved.

Many thanks.
