Just started getting this - fairly regularly when I am replying to a post or a PM, when I click submit, it asks me if I want to leave this page or cancel, and if I say yes, it does this error when I try to submit my reply. Seems like only with Chrome browser.
Just not sure if it's something messed up on my end or ? :confused:
Thanks for any thoughts on this one!

I have seen the page a few times but always just closed it and reopened and it was ok. don't have a clue as to why though. :) just normal for me "clueless" :) in fact I got it when I posted this post the first time.
I have got it sometimes but I have no idea what it means.
Most of the times with pages given by American Seti USA members visible in US and not visible for me.
CONSPIRACY is on the way. :)
just got it again when making another post, strange DrPop haunting the forum I think. :)
Yeah, it's bizarre. It just started a few days ago, I never saw it before this. Are either of you using Chrome browser? It happens on 3 different computers now, but ONLY in Chrome. Makes me almost not want to use it because if you type a big reply, you can lose it and have to start over again.
It's been happening to me as well; I typically use Chrome on both desktop & mobile.
yes using chrome. you don't have to type it over though, just hit the back arrow and go back, it looks like you lost your post but if you click in your post area it comes back, at least it does for me, never lost a post yet anyway.
I've recently been having problems with Firefox on SUSA. I'll do a reply and it hangs up FF. FF starts taking a FULL thread and a bunch of memory. If I shut it down my cpu usage doesn't drop. Looking at TaskMgr FF is still running and using a full thread so I have to terminate it from there.
I've had both the DrPop error (using Chrome only) and the Bryan error (in FF). But they come and go, which is annoying...Quote:

Same was happening to me a few days ago. If i let FF sit long enough, it'd gobble up 3+ GB even after i closed the browser. Also started having problems with Tapatalk Pro yesterday afternoon...it worked yesterday morning. Now when i open it, it immediately shuts itself down. Deleted it, reinstalled, and it works until i close it. Will never restart.Quote:

One thing I've seen a couple of times that it has hung and I go to close it there will be a popup that says "Shockwave is not responding" or something along those lines.
My firefox (on Ubuntu) has recently started doing as Bryan mentions, but my system doesn't have enough RAM, and when Firefox starts forcing the system to page, it starts throwing Disk read errors. And it alll seems to stem from something getting pulled up in the Google ads. IP Address 128.199.129.106, which seems to be from Singapore and doesn't even come up with a browser at all... Very suspicious.
Oh, and now that it's been acting better for about a day, it now states that "Firefox prevented Adobe Reader from opening on this page" which is also suspicious.
I have not had the error all day now! Thanks to BOK if you changed or fixed something! :)
I am now! And i can't open the smiley menu to put in an angry face! :/Quote:

It ONLY happens when i come to these forums. None of the dozens of other sites i frequent daily cause the issue. I thought maybe upgrading to Firefox 35 caused the issue so i went back to 34, which used to work perfectly fine. No dice. Same memory sponge. Then i updated Flash player, which might have had something to do with the cause last time. Same memory sponge. Finally i gave up and installed Chrome and immeditely i see DrPop's error screen. Happens every single time i click any link that leads to another page/thread/menu in these forums. Usually it only lasts a second and fixes itself and loads. But any time i'm posting something it's permanent. I have to remember to ctrl+c any post i make, otherwise it goes poof by the time i can get the page to reload.
Anyone else having these issues lately?
Edit: In Chrome i also notice in the status bar when a page on these forums is loading, it'll say "Waiting for ioscoderz.com". Of course it's a hacker site. So i decided to install AVG and see if i had a virus. Nope. Perfectly clean here as expected. No rootkits, malware, trojans, adware or viruses. Now i can delete AVG before it uses up any more of my CPU cycles :p
Same here - has been going on for a few days now. When I try to post a thread reply, I get a navigation pop-up window - "leave page"/"stay on page" that is making me very nervous now that you mention the malicious site.
I got a call today from the IT security section at my office.Quote:

After reading this post, it is clear that this happened while I was accessing the setiusa.us forum site at work.
Some how the ioscoderz site is being accessed in the background.
Upon failure, it tries again repeatedly until I trip a security flag for excessive attempts to access a blocked site.
I was using Internet Explorer 9.
I didn't think it would be a problem to access the forum at work. I thought wrong.
I'll try to explain what happened tomorrow. :eek:
I wonder if maybe one of the ad services is infected?
I looked at this briefly today and it appears to be coming from the tap talk plugin. Not totally sure, need to look a bit more.
I was having trouble a couple of months ago running Firefox. It got so bad I quit using it on SUSA. I switched back to IE. Here in the past week or two I've had IE actually hang up for several minutes and the only way to get rid of it is to do a hard terminate. This only happens on SUSA and obviously it doesn't happen that often.
I ran Malwarebytes and the machine is clean.
I really think it might be one of the ads.
Question for Bok: How much money do the ads generate for you? Depending on the amount, perhaps we could donate the same and get rid of the ads?
I've had trouble with this website for the past few days with Firefox (with adblocker), Chrome (with adblocker) and with Opera, with no blockers or addons. I, also, suspect it's something to do with the ads, or with scripting. Chrome reported there was insufficient resources to load a page, but this message referred not to my computer but to the website, though I have no idea how Chrome could know this. For the moment, though, I'm not having any problems.
I have been seeing some of it again, I'm using Chrome and running pc matic with super shield. I'm not showing any problems on this box. got it trying to make this post.
zombie, I'm actually not allowed to say, though it's not a lot at all, perhaps enough to buy a 6pack at most...
Anyway, is anyone still seeing it? I think I got rid of it, it was a line added to the headinclude template added in september, likely inadvertently by one of the admins, at least according to the logs. Not all of the styles were affected, but most of the common ones were.
At least for me, it seems to have been fixed. I'm able to use a quick reply without having to Submit, get the error, hit back, and resubmit.Quote:

Testing a reply...
Edit: Yep! Works great in Chrome now. Now to see if FF eats a GB of RAM...
Edit2: Nope FF works properly now as well, and actually removes itself from memory when i close it. Thanks Bok!
Hot dog, I can start using FF again :DQuote:

Thank you, BOK! Awesome it's working again.
For the record, I stand with Z on this one: if you ever feel like foregoing the ads if they get to be too much housekeeping, and choose to charge us a "similar income" rental fee for hosting instead, I am sure we could get you paid something equivalent every month.
Had another one today. I edited a post and submitted it. IE explorer hung up, memory usage went to 100% and hung up the laptop. It required a hard reset to get it back.
Yes, similar here - I think it kept saying something about Shockwave and Adobe Flash crashing. Didn't matter if I used WaterFox (64bit FireFox) or Chrome. It would hard crash the browser and I would have to close the browser manually from the task manager. :(
