Hi there,

Over the last few days I have been having great difficulty writing and posting replies due to my browser "locking up" (Chrome). I notice that the slow-down is caused by waiting for "adaptv.advertising" - I guess there are one or two adverts which are consuming a lot of bandwidth for some reason.

I realise that the WP mods and admins cannot directly change this, and that the advertising is what pays for the existence of WP. But I thought I'd just let you know so that you can maybe feed this information back to the company who are providing the problematic content.

I had the same problem so I installed an ad blocker which seems to have fixed it.
