Win7 64bit with Firefox running fine. Tapatalk however is as reliable as ever... 
I have Win7 64 bit (sp1 applied) with Firefox and find it just keeps creeping up on the memory. Yesterday after an hours and a half use, it was running at just under 2 Mb! Need to look into it a bit more as its only on this forum it happens...... otherwise I'll just use chrome :wink:Stuart Truman said:Win7 64bit with Firefox running fine.

Firefox definitely has a memory leak, but it's not the forum crashing. In fact I took a look at task manager
Time to try Chrome...
My suspicion is that its Firefox memory leak and Adobe flash that are combining to cause Firefox to 'hang'... :roll:Stuart Truman said:markeg said:I have Win7 64 bit (sp1 applied) with Firefox and find it just keeps creeping up on the memory.

Edited my last. Bloody Hell. It might be heresy, but IE9 is getting good reviews...
So, I believe I have tracked it down. It also crashes in Chrome, but only the plugin so the browser stays active. In IE and Firefox it causes either the browsers to increase memory footprint until they either crash or hang, a dependent process to do the same(like plugin-container), or both . Culprit is good old Adobe Flash, which I believe is being used to run the ads in the top left of the forum window...
Have checked and am running the latest plugin. Also checked Adobe and there are a number of bug reports on browser crashes (I found around 1800 on a simple search) - see here.
Until there is an updated plugin, think the answer is use chrome, or keep closing/opening your browser of choice.

I noticed Chrome runs multiple instances in task manager. if you add up all the instances it wasn't far off Firefox.
I'm running Adblock pro, which ought to eliminate Flash as a cause as you suggest, but I still get memory leaks

I get the windows not responding message quite often on this site..
Its seems to crash the explorer..
This forum and M3 cutters always does it,but never BMW5,BMW land,911 Uk and a few others i frequent.
I have to close the site down,then restore last session and its usually fine for a while.. I take it that i had some kind of bug and would love to sort it out as it does get annoying,but alas im a bloody dunce when it comes to PC's...
