Websleuths not Loading - Safari, Firefox

[MrsEmmaPeel]

Forgive me if there is thread on this. I'm suddenly having trouble accessing Websleuths, and it's taken me forever just to be able to post this query. Never had trouble until now.
I use a macbook. Safari or Firefox. I've checked all settings on them, and there is nothing that should inhibit Websleuths from loading. Please help. Otherwise I'll have to stop visiting. Too frustrating watching the spinning ball.

Ugh, that really sucks that you are having problems. I would be so frustrated if I could not access WS. Just wanted to let you know that I am accessing WS from my macbook on the Safari browser....I pray that I do not develop similar issues. I hope you can get some help to figure it out

I unchecked "Enable Java Script" in Safari preferences. Is that the culprit? Websleuths seems to work now. I've seen comments on Google that Websleuths is not friendly to Apple products. Is that true? Thanks in advance.

I hope you can get some help to figure it out

Thanks! See what I posted about Safari. I may have solved it!

Oh goodness, I have no idea....I wish I knew more. But so hopeful to hear that you may have solved it!! WS definitely seems glitchy on apple products...I know that I have to force quit while on here quite a bit.

This worked for me, thanks for posting.

After I leave Websleuths, I have to recheck Java Script because other websites need it! A pain-- but at least I know it works.

oops thought I was on the original thread of complaints but I see this is a new thread

here's another thread you might want to scroll through - lots of different advice for different issues:

Is there a way to turn off video autoplay?

You might want to look into a malware detection product. I downloaded and ran the free version of Malwarebytes. It said it didn't detect any malware on my computer, but since I started using it, the behavior here has improved dramatically. I also stopped getting those infuriating redirects and upgrade your flash player screens.

It’s been happening to lots of people. I see many posted on the Facebook page about it.

I couldn’t access for about 5 days. Both on safari in my iPhone and also on Chrome on my laptop.

It all the sudden started working again just yesterday. I did not do anything to make it work it just randomly was fine.
