New Ads breaking everything?

[Rsrdaman]

So the new ads on NG are basically causing every page for a game/movie to freeze when the Ad tries to load. I have all adblockers turned off, the problem still persists. Anyone else getting this problem?

Never had this problem before. I'll be on the look out, though.

Sometimes the ad before the game/movie plays but then the game/movie never loads after you've watched the ad. That's annoying.

Or sometimes the page doesn't load properly because the ads aren't loading properly because I guess the ad server itself is having problems or something.

In both of the above cases, wait it out a couple hours, come back, and try again.

I should note in the cases where the ads weren't loading properly and I manually went to the URL that was loading the ads I got 503 Forbidden messages.

i.e. page is trying to load ads from an ad server that somehow is misconfigured and gives 503 Forbidden instead of ads. And then since the ads can't load the game won't load. Something like that. Cleared up in a few hours.

The only thing they're breaking is the BANK, because I'm getting a lot more revenue now!

(I've made a whole entire dollar this month!)

I suspect the ads have something to do with it, but there's also an issue with chrome's shockwave flash service. This page has a little guide on how to fix shockwave crashes in chrome.

I remember getting that problem on Google Chrome. It pisses me off all the time so I have to switch to Safari to get rid of that problem. It is probably because you have installed AdBlock on your Chrome browser. AdBlock sometimes screws up your Newgrounds experience if you install it on Chrome. I don't know why.

I hate it when that happens! I mean everytime i see a flash game and or movie it just stops working!

Newgrounds has ads?

[Red-Error]

Well, unskippable ~20 seconds ads,
or ads that only loads as sound and not as image (black screen)
AND then proceeds to NOT load the Movie I'm waiting for, yes that's new.

What's needed for a clearer feedback? :?°
