The last week or so my computer machine has struggled to load ww.seabreeze.com.au using my usual Chrome browser. I've installed Firefox and it loads fine on that, but I've gotten used to the look and feel of Chrome and would like to stay on it if possible. The problem on Chrome went away for a few days but is back.

Most other websites seem to load okay (but one other forum I occasionally visit seems to have the same issue).

I'm using Windows 8 and suspect it might be something to do with that - it sucks.

Do any tech-savvy people have any suggestions please?

I was one of the first to use Windows 8 but then gone back to 7. If possible I will skip 8 completely and wait for 9
Funny about 8 was that for a year I have been using 8 preview beta version everything seems to work fine, but when the official version was released and I was forced to buy a licence, after upgrade windows pop up with message that now is not able to run on my computer Money on licence lost
Give a bit of time and for what I need computer now I will be completely happy with Android/ Linux soon.

Odd? There's full support for Chrome & Windows 8 - use it all the time.

Could I trouble you to get more specific about what "struggled" means to you? .. i.e. no images, no layout, blank screen, buttons not responding, can't post, .. ?

Laurie, I have had the same blank screen come up on the iPad recently. Nothing more appears until I reload the page. This has only happened with the forecast page.

Btw love the new vertical line capability on the wind and wave graph
