does anyone one else have problem playing chess.com?

Ive noticed, for last two days, that the page takes a long time to load, or once its loaded the pieces are invisible for a long time.  Yeasterday I had to close down the tab because I got a massage "Do not run this script" twice.  And already twice, without clicking on the ads(the one on top of the page) I got rerooted to other web sites

what gives?

I have the same problem. I try to enter one of my games, the board loads but the pieces do not! I am also having problems loading the "Open seeks" page. My browser keeps telling that it is waiting for media.fastclick.net and that it is transferring data from optimized-by.rubiconproject.com ....It is driving me nuts! I need my chess!!! hehe.. also all I have written here only just appeared, I had been writing it "in the dark"..

I'm just pointing out that, if you get a premium membership, the page loading time will improve ALOT because there are no ads.

 its on my "to do list", when I can Ill get the prem membership, till then Ill have to suffer through some set backs

on another note I just deleted my temp files and other crap using int tools, things seem to go smother now

problems like these should be reported to administration.  they are super about returning messages. 

Or you could just use adblock plus on Firefox. That's what I did as a free member.

I too have similar problems.

i spoke too soon, almost every time i change the page, within chess.com, a window pops up saying a script on the page will make my internet slow (or something along those lines), Ive also noticed that every time I get that massage the ads on top will not load sometimes

I get similar issues sometimes, and I believe it's caused by heavy load on the servers hosting chess.com. once I either refresh teh window or close the tab/browser and wait for few seconds, it works fine.

as a developer, I think Chess.com development team has done great job in doing thier page development in javascript that communicates asynchrnously with thier server (Javascript is a language that browsers understand), but it gets very complicated when you do track down a whole board of chess peices with allowed / not allowed moves, it's really astonishing job.

Firefox with the ad blocker plus plug-in(google it) seems to be the best way to counter this since those 2 problems are coming from ads and not chess.com. I suggest getting it until it's fixed.

friday and saturday were the worst, I kept on getting explorer telling me to "cancel/erase the script", I kept on clicking "Yes" to get rid of it, and just gave up playing al together, now it seems it is gone for good, but I dont get any adds on top of the page either

I wonder what will happen once I start getting into more games?

got to try and see

my live chess board seems to take long time

 to load...

I'm fairl new here but I don't think any of the above suggestions explain what's happening...except the idea that more elite memberships might help, but even that's probably not all there is to it.

I joined a few weeks ago & everything ran fine & very quickly for a while, then, about a week ago I noticed that sometimes it takes several minutes to load a game/find an opponent. Worse, when an opponent was designated, if either party aborted the game, the SAME opponent would be designated, often as many as 1/2 dozen times.

It could be that's  a tactic to encourage paying memberships to get past such problems but even if that's the case, it's a very poorly thought out strategy since the ultimate result is that CHESS.COM doesn't function well & offers an annoying rather than enjoyable experience.

I don't know what the prob IS but I'm sure it has nothing to do with user's gear (I play from several different locations) & I don't think it has to do with relative traffic loads (it happens at all times of day).

Site just keep saying loading but unable to load. Please give advice how to trouble shoot.
