[It's back] "A script on the page is causing windows to run slowly"

Every so often (as in a lot) while using the Wowhead forums everything freezes a moment and I get a popup saying "A script on this page is causing windows to run slowly, do you want to abort the script?" Or something along those line. If I hit yes it goes away and things are ok, but it happens a lot, is it just me?

We had this problem some time ago with one of our ads, but I
thought
we had it resolved. Next time it happens, can you report all the ads on the page as found
here
?

I've gotten the error too, with many different ads

Unless I'm mistaken, this is a Flash error message, and the only Flash we have on Wowhead anywhere is in the modelviewer. The modelviewer code hasn't changed, so I can only assume that it's an ad--even if it's multiple ads. If you're getting this issue, the only way I can resolve it is via getting the URLs of the ads in question to report to our advertisers. I'm not getting this issue on my system, so they only way I can do that is with your help.

Alright, I'll report the Ad's when it happens, it does seem like it happens a lot sometimes but not at all others.

I get this "script" message pop up when using IE, but it happens on
every
page I try to view, not just the forums. At first, clicking on "No" to cancel the script did shut the script down until I changed pages, but now the "script" message just pops back up constantly. I end up shutting IE down because I can't even use the "back" button. Using Firefox is fine, no script message pop-up so no problem!

The last time this happened, it was caused by an infinite loop somewhere in the ad process. In a case like this, what's happening is that after a certain period of time, IE asks you if you want to stop the infinite loop (since it's draining CPU power), while Firefox just shuts down the script automatically. I'll talk to the ad guys as soon as they get in in the morning and see what we can do.

Good, that scrypt is dead annoying, freezes PC for 5 seconds and then a msg pops out.
It does not mention the add or anything.
P.S. It would be nice if wowhead included a feature to add screenshots to the posts, this way we could show exact error messages we are getting.
