Can't see the review comments

Fien · 02-16-2008, 01:39 AM

I can read the reviews but not the comments. It says "loading" but it keeps loading forever. Logging in doesn't make any difference.

Am I the only one who's run into this problem? Started a couple of days ago.

Lucien21 · 02-16-2008, 02:05 AM

Works fine for me.

misslilo · 02-16-2008, 02:10 AM

It's probably an ad that blocks it from loading right away.

Whenever I experience this problem the comments don't load at all, no matter how long I wait.

But I tried again just now and they loaded immediately.

EDIT:
Went away, came back, tried once more... no comments. Strange.
Well, for me, that is. I'm no techie.

Fienepien, I have the same problem--no matter how long I wait, the comments never load. It's a fairly recent problem, too--that is, I've had the same experience intermittently in the past, but over the last six weeks or so, the comments have consistently refused to load. It's tiresome and tedious, so I've stopped trying.

*Dale Baldwin* · 02-16-2008, 03:56 AM

The last time we had problems with the comments not loading it was down to the javascript library we use, but Marek seemed to resolve that by using a newer version.

I wouldn't be surprised if this current comments problem (which I'm not seeing personally) is linked to the other problem that misslilo mentioned.

*Melanie68* · 02-16-2008, 09:05 AM

I've had that comments loading issue as well and it happens when I use an IE based browser. Although, I've never tried an adblock program either to see if that's the problem with me.

I'll also get the tabs not displaying correctly on the game info pages.

misslilo · 02-16-2008, 09:16 AM

Ummm, regarding the ad blocker. Just to make it clear.
Turning my integrated ad blocker ON in my maxthon browser actually HELPED

I usually don't have it on, since it sometimes blocks too much, lol - just never had the patience to go through everything it blocks.

*Melanie68* · 02-16-2008, 09:47 AM

I should also add that I have the page layout and 'loading' problems sometimes and other times it'll display okay. I don't know why it doesn't always work.

Fien · 02-17-2008, 02:21 AM

Interesting replies. I fiddled with my pop-up blocker, made no difference. Eight out of ten times I cannot see the comments and if there's a pattern, I'm too dumb to detect it.

misslilo · 02-17-2008, 08:30 AM

Fienepien, it's not the popup blocker that will help.
Don't you have an Ad blocker program?

I have one built into my browser, so it's not a separate program for me, but you can get some for free... umm somewhere.
Can't think of any right now, but I'm sure others can

Thanks for your help, misslilo. No, I don't have an ad blocker.

Shany · 03-04-2008, 11:05 AM

Well, now I have the same problem. No matter how many time I hit 'refresh' the comments don't load.
They used to work before (although I often had to refresh the page for them to load), and I haven't installed anything new that works on my browser and could clash with them.
Can anyone help please?

Shany · 03-07-2008, 03:12 AM

Right...
The comments work fine on my XP computer with IE6, but not on my Vista laptop with IE7 - though they used to work on it. I have no idea what to do. Should I update Flash? Should I try it with Firefox? Should I stop veiwing comments? Or should I just stop asking for help altogether as I get no replies...

***Marek*** · 03-07-2008, 04:53 AM

Sorry for not getting replies. I usually work on the AG code but I've been preoccupied with other things lately. It's a strange bug/problem and I'll take a closer look soon.

It's definitely not Flash related though.

Shany · 03-07-2008, 07:29 AM

Thanks.

It's just strange that I posted three different problems in three different places around the web and got no replies anywhere.
I was begining to think I was cursed.

Shany · 03-14-2008, 03:59 AM

They seem to be working again.

Leo · 03-14-2008, 07:03 AM

Still doesn´t work for me. It says "Loading" but doesný actually load. It works on computers at my uni but not on my laptop or computer at home.

*Dale Baldwin* · 03-14-2008, 08:01 AM

yeah, this is a puzzler alright. It's a problem on my new work laptop with vista, but the old one with vista is just fine, and they're configured exactly the same way.

***Marek*** · 03-14-2008, 09:11 AM

Hmm, could this have something to do with how you're logged in? Might logging out and then logging back in help? (I haven't had time to look closely to the problem, so just a thought.)
