Hey!

Is anyone else having a problem with internet explorer opening up links to various blogs? Both yesterday and today internet explorer will start to open the blog and then tell me the "operation has been aborted". What the heck is that? I'm starting to get real annoyed as this is my free non-baseball filled weekend and I was intending to try catching up on things. :(

I switched to Firefox a long time ago because I had too many problems with Internet Explorer.
*shrug*

I've been having the problem too - it just happened when I opened your site. My husband taught me a trick. Once the abort sign comes up, click ok then hit the back arrow button to go back to the site then QUICKLY click the red X stop button (near refresh) and it will keep the window open. It's a pain but at least you can read the posts.

I use firefox too so I'm not having any problems. Must be a pain though. I hope you can still get to my blog. {wink}

Yup, had that problem yesterday and today at work. Luckily I use Firefox at home, but I'm glad to hear I wasn't the only one experiencing it.

Hi Ingrid, A lot of people are having problems who use Internet Explorer. It's real easy to install Firefox and it's free. Once you use it you will never want to go back to IE. It is blog and user-friendly, much more so than IE. But I think that the problem is being worked on from what I hear, but I don't know how long it will be. Have a great weekend!

We had to switch to Firefox, too, because of all of the problems with IE.

YES, and it's been driving me insane. Today I'm having more luck, so hopefully things will be back to normal soon. I get bummed when I can't go food blog surfing!

Bunny said...

Yes!!! it came up on just about every other blog i tried to read! It was reallystarting to worry me, I thought something was wrong withy computer!

Monica H said...

Yes, but I thought it was only me! I'm so glad it's not. Well, not glad for ya'll but glad it's not just my computer!

When that message, pops up, click okay, it will go to a white page. Press F5 to refresh the page, or just click the back arrow and it should be fine after that. Sad thig is you have to do it on every page- ugh!

Have a good weekend!

Yep its an error with IE. I went onto blogger and it seems to be a know issue that hasnt been fixed. My blog is affected to. It does it randomly..very frustrating. I downloaded Firefox and it work on it..but I have no clue how to get my google reader on firefox

I was having that problem earlier. It seems to be gone now. I also looked it up on blogger and found that they had noted the problem and were working on correcting it. I also noticed that if I reloaded the page enough times, it started working again. Anyway, hopefully the kinks are worked out now!

IE crashes for me consistently! I use firefox! Switch, Ingrid, switch! :)

Steph said...

You have to switch to firefox! I love it! It makes searching so easy too because it remembers your sites from typing in key words so everything is a lot more efficient. I stopped using IE after it would uncontrollably open up blog links. I would get like 50 windows of the same blog.

Yes, add me to the list as well. I thought for sure it was my laptop. Great, now I guess I'm off to find another excuse to by a laptop!!!
