Pages don't load.

I know this is the wrong place to post this, but I couldn't get the page to load in the "site problems" section. For over a week I have been having trouble with the pages not loading. I will get the FTE banner and the ads, but the rest is blank. I finally got this page to load after about the fifth try. I also tried on my computer at work and had the same problem. I know I can pay and get rid of the ads, but I choose to view the ads so they can get their money's worth. I'm all about helping them out :-)

Forgive me if I don't reply to any questions asked. It is probably because I can't see the page. Webmaster can e-mail me if necessary.

I'm still having this problem. It seems that any time the Monte Carlo Las Vegas ad is up my page won't load.

Clear your cache. I've found that the ads that appear on top of my screen are from sites I've visited. Clearing your cache should prevent those particular ads. I've never seen that Vegas ad.

I have the same issues here. never used too, but now about 50% of the time the pages load the banner and then just freeze with the rest of the screen blank white.

Clear your cache and see if that helps it. The new ad schemes on forums are pulling data from your Internet cookies for sites you've visited and posts corresponding banners.

In Internet Explorer, click on Tools/Internet Options, and click the Delete button on the main tab in the Browsing History section. Make sure Temporary Files is checked on the next screen and click ok. Restart IE when it's done deleting.

In FireFox, click on Tools, Options, Privacy button, Clear your recent history link. I don't use Firefox, but that seems logical. It may just delete your browsing history, though, and not the cookies.

You can fill out a support ticket reporting a site problem here:

Ford Trucks Enthusiasts Support System

Otherwise, I would suggest BlueCrystalMan's advice. Clear your cache, cookies, temporary internet files, and browser history. Wouldn't hurt to run a spyware / malware scan too of you have the software to do it.

It may be an issue with your PC, or it may be a network issue.

Go to ALL PROGRAMS > ACCESSORIES > COMMAND PROMPT

Now, type tracert [/http]www.ford-trucks.com[http] and hit return. (without the square brackets and the stuff inside)

This will show you the route in the internet from your PC to the actual server where the web site is hosted, and the delays at each hop along the way.

Here is my results:

Trace complete.

Notice lines 8, 9 and 10. There appears to be some network congestion there. (The delay at the start of the trace is because I am on satellite internet)
