Good evening all, all my Internet is working fine untill I load up STW and then my spinning wheel comes on and the mac becomes unresponsive for a while and then shuts the Internet down, this happens with both safari and Firefox. All other websites are ok. What's going on? Cheers

I have a 4yr old MacBook with 1gig memory, never had the problem before, just started last night : ( is it all the flashy ads causing me problems?

Something to do with flash I think. Same happened to me a few days ago, and shortly after the browser was telling me to update flash.
Sadly I can't, cos I use(d) Chrome and google has stopped providing any updates for chrome on 10.5 🙁

Defo the flash thing. I'd switched over to Chrome (from Firefox - on a MacBook running 10.7.5) then back to Firefox, and removing Flash player has helped a lot. It's the big flash ads on the right, I think. In Chrome it was taking up masses of CPU and similar issues in Firefox. Not sure what to do now though...

If we asked Adobe nicely, maybe sent them a nice card or something, do you think they could use one of the numerous, numerous Flash updates to make it not totally shit?

Reading this on my pad, and having no problems there, mainly, I guess, because there's no Flash involved in the flashy ads over there ?? ?
Tried on my phone as well, and that loaded up perfectly as well. I'll fire up the Mini in a while and see what's happening on there on Safari and Chrome.
