Script Error - is it permaneant?

viper · Post by **viper** » Sun May 30, 2010 2:51 am

Here is my normal Saturday and Sunday series of event. Note I use Firefox and that I am not going to change browsers under the hope that things get better. Changing browsers isn't a fix but a cop out, in my opinion.

I click on my team. I select Free Agents and wait 7-8 seconds for the page to come up. I switch to the 14-day version and wait another 7-8 seconds. I do whatever I plan to do. When done I pull down my bookmarks to get to the next team or site. I wait 10-15 seconds for the Script Error to come up and then select the Stop Script option. I finally see my next site. Sometimes the Script Error message does not come up and I have to try and closer my browser and get multiple "Not Responding" messages until Firefox shuts down. Today I lost a couple of things I had been working on because I had to reboot my PC. My solutions are live with it or make this my last year of NFBC participation. Losing about 45 minutes of work is making the decision more difficult as I truly like the NFBC. Will this ever be corrected?

viper...i AGREE WITH YOU 100%, IT ISN'T RIGHT, however if you are interested in making your NFBC experience a lot more enjoyable download Google Chrome.

Sorry about this issue. I'll forward it to our IT department so they can look into it. And like Mark said, try using Google Chrome if possible. I realize that's a workaround but it has proven to be an extremely effective one.

all the saved passwords and knowing what setting I may need makes me say no to Chrome. Firefox works extremely well for everything else I do and I just can't see a two team fantasy league make me change. I can live with things for the rest of the season.

Viper, I hear what you're saying, but trust me when I tell you that you need to download Google Chrome.

I use IE typically and I agree with you that it would be a pain in the a** to switch over all my favorites and saved logins & passwords.

Solution....use Chrome just for the NFBC and NFFC.

I treat the Google Chrome shortcut just like a favorite or bookmark link. I have the NFBC as my desktop for Chrome and voila....all problems solved.

Trust me, it's worth it and not that much trouble.....and the speed & performance difference.....

Again, if you use it the way I do, it'll take exactly the same amount of time to hit the Chrome shortcut as it would to hit the NFBC favorite or bookmark link in IE or Firefox.

Good luck,

Glenn

I may consider that option

Viper - I was also a big fan on Firefox and used it exclusively. I switched to Chrome from the suggestions of folks here and now I use it for everything. It's much faster than Firefox for everything. I read some reports online about the speed being superior.

When you download it you can import all your saved bookmarks and passwords from Mozilla too.

Give it a try.

I have also written about this issue previously

Chrome is nice work arond, but the real issue and goal should be to make it work for IE (still 65% of ENTIRE Browser market!)
