Are you sure the problem is with name resolution? I.e. does your browser (which browser & version?) say "Resolving adz.afterdawn.net" while it freezes, or is there some other type of advertisement related slow down?
At 01:40 UTC the advertisement server runs a backup of itself which could slow down ad serving momentarily. I'll monitor the server more closely and see if that's the problem.

SeaMonkey is my browser v1.1.13(old build i know), it does the same in IE8. it says connecting to~.if it connects the page loads if it does not it freezes. refreshing usually allows it to go threw.
no other ad service does it, just adz.afterdawn.net.
Sorry i shouldn't have used the word resolved.

You must have had that link cached as it's hidden due to SPAM offenses. It was blatant spam too, you need to be more careful what you click on :)

I've seen a few of those around lately. If I run into another one I'll get a screenshot. The expansion thing is really annoying as they usually cover 1/3 of the page even on my 1440x900 resolution (Laptop).

I'm not sure if it's just my computer (I doubt it, as I've experienced it on both Windows and Linux), but whenever I click on a link (to the PS3 and Linux areas, and sometimes to the PS2 forums), there's a random chance that I'll get some sort of prompting for a username and password to access some site.
I'll get a screenshot next time it happens, but it's been bugging me for a while. I can't remember correctly, but I THINK I received some spyware on a public computer once when I clicked out of it. I can't be sure, though.
Anyway. Just wanted to know if anyone else has had that happen. Haven't checked the past few pages, so... yeah.

I think so, yes.
It might very well have been something legit that I just wasn't smart enough to see. I didn't mention that. :) /duhme

The login/password prompt comes from a signature image tht is pointing to http://www.tripletags.com/uploads/c/chucktownDMB30080554.jpg . I've asked the user to edit the signature and move the picture to another hosting service.

Authentication prompts or image files cannot install spyware on a computer, so no need to worry there. =)

Oops i forgot to mention this to the user in question, i'd been having the same problem, couldn't see what was causing it so just blocked it was ADBlock Plus then forgot about it; but varnull showed me that it was said user's signature doing it.

Having appalling connection/login/timeout problems, only with AD. Have tried a different machine/different OS/different browser etc etc, so have ruled out all the usual suspects. Editing posts only works after many attempts, but usually just timeout, the same goes for searching the forums/editing thread titles. I found it bad yesterday but nowhere near as bad as today, it's virtually unusable.

Are you still experiencing the problems? Our ISP had some network problems (strangely enough they weren't visible from over here in Finland). According to @theplanet the problem was resolved over 9 hours ago.
Please let me know if the problem still persists and I'll let the ISP know.
Cheers,
Jari

I've been online an hour and it's still happening. Every now and then i get a burst of clicks that work, and straight away. Then it goes back to timeouts and page not found error etc. Not sure this reply will 'take' either..

It took. =) Thanks. I will report this to our ISP. Hopefully the issue can be resolved quickly.
Meanwhile could you please give me a traceroute and ping to www1.afterdawn.net from your location. Thanks!

I think the PM's gone out to you, trouble with PM's is you don't see evidence of them in Private Messages until the recipient replies back :)

Had the same issues earlier this morning, though pings to the site were high but fine (132ms consistent), didn't get time to run a tracert. Seems to be working much better now, for me at least.

Hmm, interesting. I'll shortly be going back home, I wonder if it's a routing issue that's affecting home ISPs in the UK but not the academic fibre providers...

The problems are mostly gone since you last posted, still having the odd page not found error here and there.
