Browser crashing

I'm having terrible trouble with bariatricpal crashing my browsers? I've tried it in IE, firefox and chrome and it does it in all of them (chrome last marginally longer then starts freezing/stops responding).

It's only happening with this site, so I don't know if it's one of the ads setting it off or something, but it's very frustrating.

Happens to me with my iPad on every single use.

I'll type out a response and it'll crash and lose what I typed.

Not a problem with my Mac or iPhone.

It's the only time the I've ever had the problem.

Every. Damn. Time. And it's annoying as hell. I'm on a Mac.

Maybe it's the pop-up ads?

I don't have a problem when viewing this website on a PC, but it crashes all the time when viewed on a Nook tablet.

Happens to me too and not on any Apple products.

It needs to be updated and/or repaired.

I'm on a PC here and despite the fact that I've tried all my browsers it's just awful. I'm fairly sure it's something in the ads.

Ouch! I had no idea this many members were having issues with the website. Thanks for taking your time to let us know. We are going to troubleshoot this issue ASAP! Any and all information and details you can provide that occurs when your browser crashes would be very helpful.

Alex, I have never been able to log on to either my phone or tablet using the app. I was in contact with you, the situation never got resolved.

If I want to view this site, it has to be through Chrome. And the crashing goes on...

As I mentioned I'ce tried using the site in IE, Chrome and Firefox. They all freeze up (IE/firefox slightly faster than Chrome). Sometimes I get messages saying flash has stopped working, sometimes not. Once the browsers stop responding even if they start again they will keep glitching every few seconds until restarted.

I downloaded the app today for my samsung S5 and don't seem to be having a problem with it so far.

I can't read all of the posts on one page of a thread without it freezing up. I can't finish a completed post without it freezing up. So far on this one it happened twice.
