Title: Why do screens freeze?
Post by: gunsmith on June 06, 2006, 01:19:19 PM

I've been experiencing at this one particular website (a myspace profile)
is it because there is to much info on that page?

Probably. Especially if you are on dial up. It's probably trying to load music or some javascript in the background that  your connection can't keep up with.

You've heard a half-cocked theory, but the real reason is that your computer is aghast with the evil that is myspace, and is trying to sacrifice itself to save you from viewing it's horrors. Thank your computer by never returning.

Piss Poor Web Page design. Especially with graphics and music if that's the hold up. When designing a web page you can force the rest of the page to load while the graphics and music are loading. If you forget to set the flag (I forget how - been a while) then every thing happens linearly and loads all in a row and until one thing is done the next thing will not even start.

Because they're cold?
