Site Issues? Maybe?

Morning folks. 

For the past 4 days I've been having issues where no matter what browser I use (normally Chrome), I am losing connection. Wifi is still active, but just the browsers. 

I've gone through everything I can find info on through the net, including uninstalling and reinstalling Chrome. I've isolated it to the only site that knocks it out, unfortunately, is TFL. After rebooting the laptop (Dell running Windows 10 and McAffee) everything works, no matter what site the wife and I frequent, Until I come back to TFL and try to post something. Once I post a comment or thread, or preview something, the browser loses connection. 

I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this or if anyone knows of something to try?

Thanks. 

Jamie.

This site is the only one that causes me problems also.  However it is related to unclicked-on ads taking over my iPhone.   No problems with Safari on the MacBook, just with the iPhone.  Photos also are a problem, they display 90 degrees rotated and I am not aware of a way using this site's tools to fix this.  This is the only site with such photo difficulties. This is not a complaint, only an explanation of experiences.

Send a message to Floyd and tell him what you are experiencing. He might be able to help.

I'm using chrome on Android and haven't had a problem, but I do block ads with a custom hosts file. I usually pop in a dozen times a day, or more, all good.

as otherwise I am swamped with ads and this is relatively recent. I use an ipad and the connection with wifi is good.  but to post any pictues I cannot use adblock though and I have to work around the popup ads 

I take photos with ipad (square ones) then rotate the pictures, 180° then save, then complete it and resave and they post properly. mucking around I know but it works.
