This is hard to explain, but recently while using Chrome (I don't use other browsers here) any page on MTGS that I view will be frequently loading in something, and the refresh page button will be rapidly flickering between refresh and the X/stop button, as well as the icon in the tab up top. This interferes with doing anything else. For instance, as I'm typing this, nothing will appear unless the rapid loading/flickering does its thing and finishers. It's usually 2-3 seconds, but it happens a LOT, meaning there's about 2-3 seconds interval before whatever is going on does so again. I assume it's a script, but still...
Our scripts shouldn't be doing this, it sounds like an ad doing something it shouldn't.
Is it ongoing?
Hold CTRL and press F5 to redownload everything just in case.
Let me know.
It occurs a lot. By that I mean closing the browser completely, coming back to the site a different time, even the from-scratch reload you mention. I haven't observed consistency in ads yet, so if I see that I'll holler.
EDIT - I killed my cache and whatnot in case it is on my side (can't imagine what specifically would cause this though). So far so good, but there is SOMETHING still causing a quick load on every page right after the main content comes in.

One quick "oh, wait.. some things are loading again" is normal.
That one is part of our site scripting (jquery waits for the page load, then does stuff)
However, this shouldn't take more then a couple seconds, and should never do it over and over.
Yeah it's recurring, whatever it is. This is mostly seen while I'm typing in posts, but not 100% always there. Honestly, I'm wondering if it's something Chrome is trying to do for loading an ad, but that still doesn't make sense. I tried glancing through the page code but nothing immediately jumped out; my Javascript is rusty for one.
