864485 2010-03-06 09:59:00 hi there, i have a macbook pro with mac os x ver 10.5.

whenever i load the nz based website trademe.co.nz it displays that page for anyware between 5 and 30 seconds, then it refreshes and shows a white screen. this happens in chrome, safari, firefox, wireless and LAN. incognito mode and regular browsing.

any ideas how to fix this?

cheers

Secondly, does that apply only to trademe?

864489 2010-03-08 04:46:00 Hi yeah, so far I've only come across this problem with trademe. This has been happening for a month or two. I use Google Chrome but have also tried going on trademe using Firefox and Safari. It only works if I use a Proxy server. 0272611137 (15000)
864490 2010-03-08 18:41:00 I... can't figure out why this is happening.

So the page does load, but it only stays there for 5 - 30 seconds (i.e. unlikely to be a DNS or a host file problem)

Then it refreshes, showing you a white screen on all browsers. :illogical

A bug on the Trademe website? (it would have affected everyone, not just your case)

i wouldnt say a bug on tradeMe, i've been experiencing this problem for awhile now and read below... what is the plug-in google use ? and the trademe adverts, thats a theory i've been toying with.

864493 2010-03-09 17:50:00 Do google use a plug in? I'm not aware of one do you have any ad blocking software installed? So what do you use the proxy for? gary67 (56)
