So i don't use adblock on teamliquid. However, the new ad on right side is causing my firefox to freeze up to not be usable and causes flash to jump up really high in memory usage. Therefore I had to activate adblock. Since I'm not going to deactivate it every few days just to see if it doesn't mess up my browser, I'm probably just going to keep this site adblocked indefinitely. Great new ad guys.

Btw, it seems really dumb if TLPro and TL.net are operated separately, considering that if this forum died or lost a significant amount of its users, the Pro Team side would lose almost all of its value in my eyes.

Good to know I am not the only firefox user cannot watching stream and open TL at the same time...It will cause firefox to lagging and sometimes pop up script errors. Maybe I should just open TL in chrome or something

Also whenever I open TL in firefox, it always tell me that firefox is stoping page from redirecting. This may not because of the new ads because I have been having this issue several months now.

Will echo the new ad slot issue, even on chrome it slows down loading the rest of the page. (If it took it's time loading the ad only, I wouldn't care, but when it slows down the forum reading experience, it's extremely annoying / inconvinient).

Internet speed is fine so that's not the issue. Due to this I've also temporarily turned on blocking ads on tl, hoping to be able to whitelist it again soon.
(New ad slot changed / fixed / adjusted so that it doesn't slow down browsing the forum otherwise.)

I use Internet Explorer 11 and since the addition of these ads each time I come to this site my browser freezes and occasionally crashes, not to mention the ads make the site very choppy... Unfortunately, like many others, I am left with no choice but to enable ad blocking. Perhaps there is a better solution?

There's definitely a better solution
Don't use internet explorer

To be honest, Microsoft Edge is better than Chrome at this point...

I dont use adblock but youtube adblocker on chrome, I sometimes see yt adblocker is active on TL when videos are on. I think it makes the site damn laggy.

I am usually a heavy addblock user, but i disabled it in the past for TL to support the Team/webside.

However the new add on the right makes that impossible, it autostarts videos on different (very loud) soundlevels, it crashes firefox and it messes up other players sometimes.

I love TL.net. I would have no problem if the empty spaces on the right and left side of the page would be used for ads. But this "i randomly start a video" stuff is not accaptable for my enjoiment of the side.

How is this okay to TL users? ads on right side bar create excellent lags. Are they supposed to shine a new ad if old one before is done without refresh the site?
I think this is the breaker why TL is lagging. Every new ad increases the lag until the TL site looks like freezed and if you dont have noticed that they are big RAM eater. Every new ad increases the RAM about 25000K. I monitored my windows task manager for "just for fun" and I stopped when chrome.exe*32 (there are few but that ONE) ate 900000K because TL site looked freezed.

The new ad is a more popular ad size so there are more ads available to be serviced. Consequently there are some buggy ads creeping through. If you can let us know what the ad tag is for the ad we'll get on disabling those.

I am from Germany and see only 2 video ads (CoD black ops and ps4). Both are fluently but if they show again (without refreshing the site). TL starts to lag more and more. Only 1min later (ads show ~8times per min I think) chrome.exe*32 gained 200000K Ram and it continues.
videos repeating automatically is the problem. Oh its 1400000K ram now. 800000K left then my 4GB Ram is full.

it might be better to provide a link to the ad by right clicking it, makes it easier for tl staff to help remove it.

videos aren't lagging at all, TL site does. right click does nothing.

This made me realize I hadn't whitelisted TL! Now your % is slightly lower!!

Sadly this. TL is one of the few sites where I don't use Adblock. But if the right side ad includes movement, it basically kills the site for me. Unlike Spectrum I will deactivate it every few days and check what's going on, as yours is very well made, interesting content.
For the record, both IE and Firefox freeze.

yeah I got a loud autoplay at work last week and wasn't too happy

i took it off again and havent seen it since. basically as long as none of the ads expand, make noise, or contain porn or some bugg script I keept off

also considering the demographics this site caters to, I would think 55% is probably a low number no? that means al ot of white listing because I am sure more than 55% of posters have ad block
