Marc - can we make that check async? Since you're updating the code anyway, because it breaks website XHTML complicancy? Need any help with the code? //Magnus
Stupid question Dennis ... what time was this? Early afternoon my time, we had an 'out of disk space' condition that forced me to restart the vServers on that machine ... wasn't thinking timezones ;( On Tue, 22 Nov 2005, Magnus Hagander wrote: >>>> Turns out it's related to the ads, so if I just adblock the ad >>>> server I can see the page just fine.

That would be sometime in the middle of the night US time. I'll try to remember to get a traceroute the next time. It's working now so it's not like it's a big problem. -- /Dennis Björklund

The problem is that the javascript in the banner code is doing a document.write(), which is a sync call ... if there is a break anywhere in the network, or the ads server goes down for maintenance, it jams up the works ... Does anyone know enough about Javascript to know how to re-write it so that its async instead of sync? :( ---- Marc G.
