Dear moderators,

I noticed by the profile from [Member name removed] that when that one is first on the home page, that the page is crashing.

With other profiles i dont have that problem.

Can it be that there is a picture or html instruction in that profile that let the page crash?

Unfortunately, this is an issue that can happen when using Google Chrome. The browser crashes, or locks, when hitting certain profiles. We have investigated each profile reported and there is never a virus on any of these. Support advises that if you wish to use Google Chrome to browse, then use IE or FireFox as a back up. You can hide the profile from view on your account so that when you use Chrome, you do not experience the same problem. Tech is investigating this problem.

Again, there is no virus on that profile or in the photos.

I've noticed this problem whenever someone has a lot of text formatting in their profile. Chrome doesn't seem to be able to handle it well.

No issues with a virus. But do people really need to describe themselves with sparkly pink font?

There are a couple of spammer profiles with Dropbox links that do lead to virus infected files. I know you guys can't check every new member by hand. So how do I let you know if I run across one of those again? Thanks.
