Ok so basically here is a list of stuff I'm having problems with.

1. Cant add any anime or manga in any way.
2. Cant update any anime or manga unless I go to the edit page and do it that way.
3. Cant watch or unwatch any posts or topics, it just keeps loading and never stops no matter how long I wait.
4. Cant save tags without doing it from the edit page of the anime I'm tagging.

Those are the main problem I've been having with number 1 as the most urgent, I am using Firefox and Opera with all my add ons disabled and the list of security software I have is here.

1. Malwarebyte Anti Malware
2. Avira AntiVir Control Centre
3. Spybot Search and Destroy
4. AVG Free 8.5
5. a-squared Free
6. ClamwWin Antivirus
7. Online Armor

I hope the information I have provided helps and I hope you have resolve my problem.

sounds to me like you have javascript disabled, or at least heavily limited in a way that prevents AJAX from working (which mal uses for all of the features you described). Like MAL, a lot of websites use JQuery for this so it's guaranteed you'll run into issues like this on other sites also...

Anyway, it's never a good idea to have multiple antivirus clients installed, since they usually embed themselves in similar places and cause severe problems when they overlap. I recommend you pick your favorite and stay with that...

Pick one of Avira, AVG, a-squared, or Clamwin and uninstall the others since these perform redundant tasks. You do not get any added security, and are only making life harder on yourself and slowing down your system at the same time. The other programs do not run in the background and should coexist safely with any one of the above.

Frankly, you'd be better off making a clean install and them only installing the few programs you need... otherwise you may end up with remnants that will cause you continued grief.

...probably by one (or a mix) of the numerous anti-malware clients you are using. When others do not have the same issue, then it is your system.

Also, there's no need posting around in a billion different places... I've seen you post about this multiple times in unrelated threads...

most likely several mods have seen and ignored them because it's definitely a problem specific to you, and multiposts are annoying. You only posted to the support forum, but you posted both here and in unrelated threads.

have you tried ironing out your anitivirus issues, or tried anything else to work around it? ...there's nothing anyone can do to help you if it's an issue on your computer only.

try disabling your security software and see if you still have the issue (though it's hard to even be sure you have everything disabled, and most of them are processes that cannot even be completely killed....) ...but some incompatibility in mixing security software seems like the obvious culprit to me.

No I call them unsuccessful because I realised that I filled out a bug report wrong.

I'm not sure how I've tried deleating some of them with the intent to keep the ones you suggested but they wouldnt let me they just say that I need permission for the action, I dont know why that is since I'm the only user on my computer.

If you're just trying to kill them from the task manager (ctrl+alt+del/ctrl+shift+esc) then you'll get messages like that....

uninstalling them from the control panel shouldn't have issues though if your account is an administrator account. There is actually a hidden administrator account in addition to yours on all versions of windows since xp, but you probably don't need to access that directly.

antivirus progs are very difficult to completely remove (by design)... and even if they uninstall you may continue to have issues. If it's possible to you, you may consider backing up all your data onto another drive and then reinstalling windows and your software from scratch.... sounds extreme, but it will save you headaches down the road.

I've been doing tech support and computer repair professionally for about 4 years, and I really think that's your best option. You might get away with just uninstalling all of your antivirus programs (even the ones you plan to keep) and then just running a windows repair install and reinstalling the antivirus programs you need afterward. A repair install would only fix windows system files, leaving your files intact.

It may even be a good idea to have an experienced tech look at your computer, as he may notice something I cannot...

try using some sites that rely heavily on ajax, like posting comments to your wall on facebook.

It may also be a popup-blocker of some sort.... you already tried disabling all your firefox addons, right?

you may try using firefox's error console to see if that sheds any light on the problem. Load up a page where you usually have issues, then open up Tools > Error Console to display it. Click the Clear button to neaten things up, then try pressing whichever button is stalling/breaking.

It may or may not be useful information, but worth a shot.

Install Opera, if that doesn't work then try Chrome. If that doesn't work, you'll need to reinstall Windows. If that doesn't work, I'd suggest talking to your ISP or something. If that doesn't work I don't think anything will.

Oh right, I didn't see you already have Opera. Sorry about that. You don't have a Windows disc? Then you either have an illegal installation of Windows and I can't help you there or the installation files are already on the hard drive on a different partition. There is a third option, you bought it from a friend or something and he didn't give you the disc.

Which company made your computer?

Try restarting and seeing if there's some kind of message during boot up. You probably need to hit some function button to get into a reinstall Windows mode.
If there's no such message I suggest calling Currys and asking how you go about reinstalling Windows. I suspect they'll ask you to bring it in and then charge ridiculous amounts of money for reinstalling but just calling them shouldn't hurt.

Um..........no thank sorry but I'm not willing to go through all that just so some functions on one particular site work.

I can almost just as easily keep a track of my anime and manga with windows excel I only joined the site because it made thinks alittle easier but now i'm not willing to go though that amount of inconvenience to make a simple task alittle easier.

sorry its a great site and a really good idea but I'm not willing to pay the price for it. :/ again sorry

I think it's been thoroughly established that it isn't something wrong with the site, but that you have some software issue on your computer. We can offer advice, but it's up to you to help yourself.

I still find it very hard to believe that this is the only website effected. You will likely run into other problems down the road.
