Under Firefox v38 the PC page starts to load then goes to a blank, white screen.

Restarting the browser didn't help and the other tabs are loading just fine.

Any ideas ?

I had the same problem, but when I tried loading gamespot pages on another browser it worked fine.

@jmmijo: This is because of AdBlock. Recent definition updates break the site and it is 120% their problem. We've tried to work around it and cannot. It thinks the whole page is an ad and blocks it.

@edgework: well guess i will stop using Gamespot then :(

You know it only occurs when using the PC section, the main web page loads fine, so what are you folks coding in the www.gamespot.com/pc/ sub-page to cause this to happen ?

As a side note Firefox, Chrome and Maxthon all behave like this too and yes all of them use adblock, I will see if I can tweak anything in the settings to get things working again.

EDIT: I figured it out, there was an error in one of the subscription lists that caused this to occur, not in the main AdBlock list but one named EasyList.

Seems to be working now so we will see if this continues to work properly or not in the next week or so :)
