Problems with recent topics page?

[Anonymous]

Same exact problem here. The only way I got around it was to quickly click on a thread before the white page appeared. It's Recent Topics that is glitchy.

Same for me just happened several times in a row.

Same for me yesterday and this morning. Safari for iOS. Auto page refresh (perhaps associated with ads reloading?) leaves a blank screen. It happens 5-10 seconds after loading recent topics. Use of the back button takes you to the screen you were on prior to your last refresh of Recent Topics.

So far it is only happening on recent topics but it does make the page completely unusable.

I'm not ignoring this problem but I haven't had it happen to me. Without being able to duplicate it, I can't troubleshoot it.

I haven't made changes to the Recent Topics page in years. So any issues are likely related to ads. However, since we use several ad networks, it is hard to diagnose.

It's not happening anymore today, must have fixed itself.

I've been cruising DCUM recent topics for about an hour and all of a sudden it's doing it again, about 5 seconds after Recent Topics page appears it disappears and I get a white screen which does not resolve into anything else.

If I go to a specific forum other than Recent Topics it works fine.

Just happened to me. Time to do some real work. Carry on.

Perhaps it's an Apple/IoS/MacOS X issue. I have had no problems on two Android phones, a Windows laptop and an Android tablet. I am on DCUM daily from at least 3 different devices at different times, but I have no Apple equipment.

I was finally able to reproduce this though it occurred on the main forum page rather than Recent Topics. I have identified the advertiser whose code appears to be causing the problem. I contacted the ad network and hopefully they can fix it. They are in Israel so their day is already over and tomorrow and Saturday they are off. So, they can't work on it until Sunday.

Nobody has reported this problem for a while, but the ad network that was the source of the issue believes that they fixed it. So, please let me know if you encounter this issue again.
