What's Gone Wrong?

[Doofus]

For the laast two or three days, if I click on a link to a website which has been posted in a thread on PH, I just get "about:blank" in the address bar and a blank screen.

What's going on?

[Daniel1]

thats odd because so do i, i thought ti was just my rubbish PC

[FeatherZ]

links go weird after i click em from one line long to about 4

Phew I thought it my Laptop. Bloody annoying.

Now there's a thing. I've jsut discovered that if you right-click on the link, and select "Open in new tab", it works. The tab doesn't come to the front, but if you click the new tab, the linked page is there.

Yes, the link through seems booogered.

[Doofus]

BTW, this should have been in 'Computers & Stuff', not 'Computer Games'. Sorry.

Hi, what browsers and operating systems are you using to view PH when this problem happens?

[schmalex]

I have this problem too.

It occurs on my home PC, running Windows 7 & IE8, as well as my work PC, running Windows XP & IE 8.

[Eric Mc]

And me.

[RacingPete]

So is everyone having this problem on IE8?

Happens a lot on the iPhone too, I.e click on a link and another window will open but it'll be blank with no address, go back onto ph, hold down the link and press 'open in a new page' and it works. Bizarre.

Havent had any problems with this on Firefox though.

[funkyrobot]

I'm getting this too.

I'm also noticing that the website freezes every so often when you load a page. Anyone else getting the freezing problem? I'm on IE 8.

Ta.

I noticed this at work today.... (IE8)

.... and just noticed it happening at home as well (IE8)

Tried Firefox at home (Same PC), and all fine.

Looks like an IE issue!

Window's 7 (is that the new one?) And IE 8.

[Dan_1981]

Windows 7 and IE 8.

But its not happneing all the time.

First noticed it on the thread about "the nicked deposit on a skyline" thread. The ebay link didn't work. Just got the "about" link instead. But then later it did work!

Odd.
