I can read everything on the boards, and was reading the thread on the Scientology documentary in Cafe Society, which describes the lengths the Church will go to to silence critics. When I clicked on page 2, I got an Aw, Snap… page (page can’t be displayed). and it just keeps happening over and over.

Anyone else getting this?

Second page loads fine for me in FireFox. What browser are you using?

Chrome. It’s the only page on the site that it’s happening to.

I’m seeing the same thing, also with Chrome.

Yep, Scientology got to that page, I can’t see it either. I get a “Oh snap” message.

ETA Chrome.

Same. I can read it in Firefox, and not in Chrome.

2nd page of the ‘Going Clear’ thread, and the new reply page for that thread, display for an instant, and get redirected to ‘Aw, snap!’. Of course, other than a link to a Wikipedia article about Gold Base, the juicy stuff is mostly on page 1.

I see the same problem - perfectly fine in the current version of Firefox (36.0.4) on Windows 7, the crash on Chrome (41.0.2272.101 m)

I can’t see the first page of the thread.

So, what’s on that page that’s pissing Chrome off? Any ideas?

I get the “Oh Snap” page when trying to load Page 1 of that thread…but I have my page length set to 100 posts.

Scanning the page quickly under IE, the only thing that seems at all unusual is a wonky link in Post #60, but I don’t see why it should cause the issue…

I looked at the page source, and I have no idea what \*\*Equipoise \*\*was doing. I reported it and hopefully a Mod will fix it. She apparently pasted the paragraph containing the link where she intended just the link.
