What on earth is this nonsense? It's taking a very long time on my Chromebook...

[Mod] Tech have been alerted and apologies for the inconvenience.

I have had it pop up a few times but only for seconds.  Ezoic ( sp) I think it said.

It's doing it again. Spinning wheel has been going for more than 5 minutes this time. If it continues like this then I guess it will be goodbye stw as I have no interest in viewing websites from my mobile.

I'm not sure it is just Ezoic, I thought it was a Cloudflare related thing as I see something similar on a few sites from time to time, not just STW.  Do you have anything non standard set up on your browser e.g. scripts switched off, ad-blocker etc?  I'm not saying you shouldn't do that but just to see if that is what is causing it to be so bad for you

I think Ezoic is the ad "server". I've seen this pop-up maybe three times in the past year and it's gone before I have a chance to react to it. Only ever seen it on my Android/Chrome phone, never on PC/Windows.

Had it once yesterday evening and I went back a page and clicked again and all good. However, the site seemed to be down for a bit this morning between 06.15 and 06.40...suspect unrelated but clearly it is all working again - kept getting a 502 error. Maybe several things were needing a reset.
