Content Space Empty?

1,075 Views | 15 Replies

Over the past week, I've had 3-4 experiences where I loaded a content view page and the SWF didn't load into the page - it was an empty space.

I'm a supporter running Chrome Version 39.0.2171.95 m on Windows 7. I don't have Adblock.

Have you experienced this problem? If so, please let us know in this thread! Include whether you were logged in, whether you are a supporter, if you are running Adblock and what browser, OS and version you were using. In Chrome, click the three lines in the top right of the browser and select "About Chrome" to see the version number. I get especially curious if a Chrome update could cause SWF issues, since that happens a lot.

I'm always logged in when I view flash, and this consistently happens to me. I don't really think much of it anymore, as Monster-64 said, you can just refresh it and it loads properly. Been happening both before and after I became a supporter. Latest version of Chrome on Windows 7. No Adblock.

I have has this problem on the silver opera beta occasionally. ('opera now' is it's name?)
Some flash files won't load no matter how many times i refresh, but most work fine.

However on classic opera this rarely occurs with a quick fix by the refresh button when it does.

also... RAAAINBOOW STICKY!!!

Hold Shift+Refresh, should just need to re-cache.

Yep that fixed it. Thanks Tom!

Had this same issue a few weeks ago and fixed it by clearing the cache also.
Only the banner ads, and the buttons(forum buttons, pm, dump , etc) were empty, but still clickable.
I assumed it was only an issue with Opera, since Chrome, and Firefox both worked fine.
Running Opera 26.0, on Vista, no adblock.

Newgrounds is the only website that doesn't run animations,games or load images for me . This issue is about 3 month old

I have been trying to fix the issue on Chrome's and Flash's end but no luck . Newground is the only website doing this to me (other websites run flash and java without problems)

Not a supporter but I did buy the toilet paper ;) Thank you for getting the soft kind

If you can fix it Tom ill pay you $25 but otherwise the website just doesn't work for me

and I don't have any extensions

Hrm, let's do a little troubleshooting.

Does this image load for you?

Does this video load?

Do you have any other blockers upstream on your computer or network? One gal recently emailed us and she had several layers of protection, and one layer was blocking one of our domains.

What happens exactly when you try to load a movie or game? Have you tried other browsers?

Have you tried a different browser and/or computer on the same network?

Have you tried PMing an admin? Maybe someone there could help you.


If I offer to help you in a post, PM me to get it. I often forget to revisit threads.

Happens a few times on either Chrome or Firefox.

Disabling noscript blocking for NG's 'subsites' (cpmstar and google-analytics) usually resolves all the problems.

The issues is the same across all browsers.

Whenever I test my flash it works on flash website and other flash game websites . For some reason newground gives me white screens where flash should be ,music files freeze at 10 seconds and pictures don't load all the way.

My Labtop and Iphone can browse newground content just fine .

Main desktop is the only one having trouble . I tried all global flash settings,internet settings,disabling security and the result is the same .

Its almost like flash stops loading but again why only newgrounds?
