Site won't load comments

My home site: www.stuff.co.nz has many articles enabled to post comments. For the last week I have been unable to view or post comemments in Firefox.
The comment feature works fine in Chrome.
I have tried disabling Avast but this makes no difference.
Today I updated FF to version 25, no change.
Obviously it's annoying having to open a second browser to view my favourite news site.
Any suggestions to fix Firefox?

Thanks guys, I discovered the culprit: Avast.
Even though I'd disabled it there was still an add-in that was running and even though I had entered stuff.co.nz as an exclusion it was still blocking comments on that site.
So I've disabled the Avast add in and now the comments load fine.
The lastest Avast update caused quite a bit of havoc elsewhere too. Time to head over to their forum ...

Certain web sites won't load on any browser on Macbook Pro

Starting yesterday certain web sites won't load on any browser (Safari or Chrome). These include sites like the New England Journal of Medicine, Washington Post, and English Bulldog News. I get an error message in Safari that the server took too long to respond and in Chrome I get a connection timeout error message. I updated Adobe Flash with a clean install as I was unable to update using the standard method due to connection timeout. That restored my access to YouTube video but today it takes ~2 minutes to load a YT video. Web sites are loading fine on my phone and household PCs.
Not sure if it is notable that my internet loading capacity has been very slow for some time. I worked with the internet company to increase the network speed but my computer has not seen benefit. No problems on the PCs in our house but my Macbook very frequently gets partially "kicked-off" the network as indicated by yellow lights seen next to the "internet" and "server" items in my Network Diagnostics utility.
I looked at old threads and ran EtreCheck (see results copied below) as was recommended to another user several months ago, but would appreciate any thoughts about where to go from here. Could it be malware? Or just a classic case of operator error? Here are the EtreCheck "red" items extracted from the full report below:

Site won't load properly in IE

I've created a site that works perfectly in Firefox and
Safari, but not in IE. I'm not sure why, but some of the pages
aren't downloading properly (some won't load at all). I used
Dreamweaver to create a drop down menu, but don't know if that
would cause the problem.
I'd be grateful if anybody could help. The site is at
http://www.lucyohara.talktalk.net/test/
Thanks

Looks fine here in IE6. You may want to compress your images
better as the
page is quite heavy:

Safari won't load comment section, until I reload it multiple times

http://www.cbc.ca/canada/british-columbia/story/2010/12/31/bc-lightbulb-cfl-inca ndescent.html
I try it the odd time, and it loads, then it won't load the comment section until I reload it two or three times. Have no problem with Camino, but I want to stick with Safari. CBC websites all do the same thing. Is it their problem, or Safaris???

Hi,
Your profile: v10.6.4
If that's the case, click the Apple () menu (top left in your screen) Software Update ...
Empty the Safari cache more often. Either from the Safari menu bar or Command + Option + E.

All Google related sites won't load

MacBook Pro
13-inch, Early 2011
Processor: 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory: 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB
Software: OS X 10.8.3
I started having this problem Thursday, and I haven't been able to solve it since.
My macbook won't load any google related webpages, but it works with any other webpage I've ever visited.
iTunes Store and Mac AppStore are also having issues ( With iTunes Store giving me -50 error code).
My Macbook is up-to-date, with the latest software installed as of Thursday.
I also own a HP DeskPC running Windows 8 and it loads google and google-related webpages completely.
I have Safari and just uninstalled Chrome thinking reinstalling would solve the problem. Neither one of the browsers was able to open Google and it's sites.
Measuring my computer knowledge from 1 to 10, I'd say from 5-6.
Ask any questions you'd like and I'll try to answer them, and please help me.

Double-click the line of text below to select it, then copy it to the Clipboard (command-C):

Launch the Network Utility application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Network Utility in the icon grid.
Step 1
Select the Lookup tab and paste into the address field (command-V). Press return. Post the output that appears below – the text, please, not a screenshot.
Step 2
Select the Ping tab and do the same. Please enter the same input as you did in Step 1. Don't use the output of Step 1 as input to Step 2.
Note: Some browsers and mail clients will automatically complete a domain name such as "www.example.com" to a URL, such as http://www.example.com. That will interfere with the test. If necessary, edit the input in the Network Utility window to remove any added characters.

Specific sites won't load - connection reset

Until three days ago www.naplesnews.com was loading just fine. Since then, the site and its sister site marconews.com won't load. Every other website I use loads properly. The situation is the same with my wife's laptop. We use a wireless modem. The problem exists with both FF 16 and IE9.

See:

You can try to reset (power off/on) the router.

Several image-hosting sites won't load correctly - what is going on?

slow dial-up, photobucket pages won't load correctly - tested other hosting sites, same problem - they look like they timed out or got disconnected mid-load. Problem started several months ago - prior to that PB loaded slow, but always worked.
also have some trouble veiwing imgur images posted on discussion forums.
have not noticed any other websites giving trouble, but I don't surf around much. have done all kinds of things as directed by PB help people, advice here on Firefox, all updates are complete, no extensions or add-ons, scanned, cleared, refreshed, etc etc etc. security is malwarebytes and MS Security Essentials.
Problem also happens in IE, so what else can I do? is it just my slow connection? why did it suddenly start happening? connection speed (crawl) is the same as always. help! thank you!

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

Animate site won't load on iPads

I've made a site using Edge Animate - http://nextonet.tv - though on iPads, the site can't load. It shows it for a split second then gives me the message "problem occurred with this webpage so it was reloaded", then reloads, then displays the messages again. This repeats until i get "the site couldn't load'.
It's working everywhere else.
Help!

Nice
I don't have an iPad to test/view, but looking at the Console in Chrome/FF, it looks like you need to correct some correct some issues.

Published site won't load. Are my video files too big?

I'm a video editor and have published a site through iWeb. I have about 8 movie files on the site. The site never fully loads. Are my video files too big? If so, what would you recommend the average MB's should be?

You need to use a movie player that doesn't require the files to load with the webpage...

Sites won't load after I type it and press enter.

I tried to get firefox 3.6 at start but everytime i type a certain url in the address bar and press enter, it won't load. I always needed to click the go button using my mouse.
I tried IE and GC but they both load all websites when I press enter.
Just inconvenient to always click the go button instead of just hitting the enter button :(

This issue can be caused by an (AVG) extension that isn't working properly.

Full site won't load properly on G S4

Site doesn't load proper on G S4. Chrome is up to date on my Galaxy S 4 but when I go to the full site on the phone all the text gets bigger and messes up the entire design. I don't have the problem when I go on the full site from an iPhone or Windows 8 phone. The problem may lay with all android devices but I'm not sure.
here is a link to the site.

Hi Korey
Due you still face the same problem ?
Chrome released a new version for android recently , can you try to upgrade chrome and then check ?

Ftp setting on Iweb say I'm connected to server but my site won't load

I have a new server to replace the mac service . All imformation in publishing panel is correct . I am told I'm connected when I use the test button but my site will not load to server . Any ideas ?

One thing that can cause publishing problems is spaces or special characters in file names - especially image file names.
Until you get the problem with the iWeb FTP resolved you can always upload the local folder with an FTP app...

Some internet sites won't load anymore

Since a couple of days I have been unable to load a couple of websites I check regularly like engadget and TUAW, while others (e.g Gizmodo) load extremely slowly and don't show pictures once they do load. There are some other sites that just won't work (Apple, imdb), but it seems very random since most sites do work normally.
The problem is the same in Safari 4, Firefox and Camino, so I'm guessing it's my mac in some way. I tried pinging Engadget and get a 100% failure rate every time. Once I try surfing there through www.the-cloak.com I get there just fine, though. I tried resetting my internet router (by taking the power off for a night and reconnecting it this morning), but that seems not to have changed anything.
Does anybody know what can possibly cause this?

Hi Nixed and welcome to Apple Discussions.
As the problem appears to be across various browsers I would suspect your ISP's DNS servers.
Have a look at OpenDNS and follow the instructions there. If you have browser access to your cable modem change the settings there, if not follow the instructions to change your Mac's settings.
Even if this doesn't solve your immediate problem using OpenDNS is A Good Thing because of their anti phishing and other security settings. They are also faster than many ISPs DNS servers.
The numbers you want are 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220
Good luck,
Adrian

Files on FTP site won't load

My goal is to link together a course, a quiz for the course,
and a course survey that are all going to be hosted on a
password-protected FTP site. My first attempt to do this was by
going into movie preferences and pointing movie 1 to movie 2 and so
on. This works locally and it works if I put all files in the root
of the FTP site, but if I put the files in a subfolder (making the
appropriate path changes in the movie and republishing them), movie
1 ends and doesn't load movie 2. Using sub-folders is neccessary to
avoide confusing learners who will be accessing the FTP site.
I also tried using the Captivate Player and as with the other
method, it works locally. Regardless of where on the FTP site I put
the files, none of the movies load.
It seems to me that this is a problem that I'll have to take
up with my Network Admin, but it's Sunday and I was hoping that one
of you had an insight that could help me fix the problem today.
Michael

Don't apologize, Michael, we've all been "stressed out". You
said . . .
quote:
1. I published a movie to the FTP site as an SWF file, and when
I ran the HTML file for the movie, the movie ran. I then published
two movies to the site as SWF files that are linked together (the
first one linked to the second one in the movie preferences), then
I ran movie A. It ran and and then movie B started.
Good. Step 1 mission accomplished!
You said . . .
quote:
2. I created a sub-folder in the FTP site and placed the linked
SWF files there. Movie A runs, but movie B doesn't run when movie A
ends.
Taking you at your word, you
placed only the SWF file in the sub-folder, so the link was
broken - thus, the 2nd movie
couldn't run.
You said . . .
quote:
3. I published three movies to the root of the FTP site as SWF
files. I also uploaded the Captivate Player files to the site. I
modified the Player XML file so that the 3 SWF files are being
used. When I load the player, the menu shows the three movies, but
none of them will load.
Check the other Captivate Player files. Sounds
like something got left out when you either 1) configured Captivate
Player, or 2) uploaded the Captivate Player support files. From
what you said here, it sounds like it is Captivate Player that
isn't running, not the movies in the XML. You might double-check to
see if you are opening the "Index.HTML". Matter of fact, you might
even want to change the name of Index.HTML and link to the new name
. . . it won't fix this problem, but after you get it fixed, you
might find that renaming Index.HTML will eliminate some confusion.
Just a thought.
Overall Michael, it sounds to me like you are really tired
and expecting too much of yourself in that state. Take a fresh look
at it after getting some rest and a new perspective. Just another
thought, but this one is even better than the first.

One page in my site won't load

When I click on one of the links inside my site, I get the "We're Sorry. We can't find the HomePage you've requested" message. I have checked the link many times to make sure it is correct (using Inspector) and have deleted and recreated the link, as well. In iWeb, everything works fine, but when I go online, the link still sends me to the error page.
It's on BradGilmoreCasting.com then the text link, "What's This Website?"

Your menu bar links on that page are there, I see
them in the source, but they must be covered by
something (I can't figure out what). Click on your
various graphics, your main text box, etc, and make
sure you send everything but those links to the back!
Thank you for your helpful suggestion. The links work fine in iWeb. It's only when I upload the site that they fail to work from the "about us" and "green room" pages. If the buttons were covered by some invisible graphic, I would think the links would fail to work in iWeb also. I'm pretty ignorant about these things, so I'm eager for any workable explanation/suggestion.
BTW, the "about us" page suddenly started loading after I had uploaded the site several times over several days from a newly created folder after erasing all the files online using "Fetch." Weird that I had to repeat the exact same process several times before the page started working.
