We spent a few hours going over the scripts on the site and it seems everything is okay. Sorry for the inconvenience. We’re aware that some of the scripts are still making things move too slowly and are continuing to try to fix that.
Thanks.

Hey Sasha,
I’m sorry to be repetitive but I just need to point out that several pages and many entries are missing. They disappeared after the site went on maintenance. There were big entries about War Horse, Shame, Moneyball, Best Actor, Best Actress, The roundtables, The Independent Spirit Awards, the Gotham Awards, and the NYFCC awards. I feel those entries are valuable and important. It is a big chunk and most of my commenatary that is missing. I repeatedly checked on the archives and previous pages, I can’t find it. It just skips back to a much older entry about the new Disney-Pixar flick. Please resolve and recover this. I doubt anybody else noticed. I repeated this because I felt this entry was a more appropriate place to discuss a site issue.
It’s still very slow and crashing the Flash plugin (i’m using Chrome). But after Flash crashed it’s better. So please don’t inculude so many flash ads. As Walter said static ads would be better.
Completely hoses my one-week-old 27″ iMac. The only website that causes me to actually restart my computer. I can only look at the site via my iPad.
Sasha, you template frames on your website, without content right now. Just letting you know. Where your widgets go, so to speak.
It’s all the flash ads. One is fine but when you have multiple flash ads, even a multi-core computer will come to a crawl. My advice, ditch the flash ads. Static ads won’t kill the site.
And this is why it’s so hard to fix. Everybody has different symptoms.
Works fine on Chrome and Firefox for me.
Firefox was the slowest ever starting a few hours ago. Now, with Opera, I have no problems. If I want to watch a video, I just go to the original source and not watch the embed one here.
For me it was the opposite – much worse, earlier, and not so bad now. Comments longer than a sentence or two I will do elsewhere, then cut and paste because of delays, though.
Was better earlier today, but froze up my computer a couple of hours later. The problems are far worse than any site I regularly visit.

Well since we started having problems and I discovered that it was better with Opera instead of my normal browser, I just switched over. I’ve been using Opera for about a week and haven’t had any problems since.
What I learned when I was having problems and this might help people who still are is that when the page loads, give it a minute. Don’t touch anything until the ads have stopped moving, then navigate. If you start scrolling or clicking right away you’ll get the script message or worse.
