I've timed out a ton on my iPad even after wiping out the cache and trying with Safari and Chrome. On my laptop, DU hasn't loaded properly on Chrome, Firefox or IE since Saturday and I went through all of the normal disk clean-up and all that.
Something up...just not sure what.

I use Firefox and have had no problems logging on or visiting DU. n/t FSogol May 2014 #4

Did you install the latest version of FireFox? Tierra_y_Libertad May 2014 #7

Yes, 29.0.1 n/t FSogol May 2014 #9

I'm thinking this could all be adblock related Aerows May 2014 #14

That's what I think too. But, the solution I offered worked no matter whose fault. Tierra_y_Libertad May 2014 #17

I use FF but mostly Chrome Aerows May 2014 #18
