What is with these stupid browsers?! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

dawsongirl · 07-20-2005, 10:39 PM

Both the computer at work and my laptop do this. I'll be looking around the web and go to some random page, and suddenly IE just closes the window. If I try that same page again, it closes. It just will not open the page. Just now I tried opening page 2 of the Bad Habits thread and closed goes the window. Yesterday at work, I tried to look on Amazon at this one book 4 times, but the window just kept erroring and closing. The other day, it would not open Target's website. Is this some stupid IE glitch? Anyone else suffer from this annoyance?

Yeah, that's happened to me on a couple of these threads. Argh. It was annoying! I then had to try some minutes later and finally it worked.

Not sure what could be causing this...

i've noticed that every time i open a page on this site that a certain user posted on, my browser causes an error and has to close. I KNOW you're all thinking i'm probably mistaken, i thought i was too at first, but it's gone on long enough and i've done enough investigating to confirm it. i don't know what causes it, they don't have an insane amount of smileys in their signature or anything. i put them on my ignore list and it stopped, and when i click on the "view post" thing and read the post, it happens again. it happens on both of my computers. i don't get it.

I can only view that page because the person i just mentioned who posted on it is on my ignore list. just now i tried to view the post, and my browser closed. i guess something about their settings or something could be causing a problem to other people too.

That is so weird. And confusing.

somebodys posts on here always make my AOL browswer freeze and i always have to open a new one. it's weird. and frustrating.

I have the same problem when I use Firefox at my dad's (not here, thank god...I would go bonkers). For some reason when I try to go to Yahoo TV or TV Guide's websites, Firefox crashes on me. My dad's computer is from March 2005 -- very new, so I don't understand why it constantly crashes. I set it up the exact same way I have it here.

Mr. Television · 07-20-2005, 11:26 PM

Theirs a user on here that causes my computer to freeze and IE to close but I got them on ignore and its fine now.

Hollow · 07-20-2005, 11:43 PM

Ok, i've spoken with two people in this thread, and it's the same user causing technical problems for all of us. i didn't mention the name earlier, but it's IMakeBurgers. i don't know why, but every time i open a page she posted on, my browser freezes and all of my IE windows close.

swedeace · 07-20-2005, 11:50 PM

I just tried the second page of "Your Bad Habits" and...yup... I got kicked off!

Here's the error I did a print screen of:

Yep, this has happened to me as well.

I have her on ignore and it doesn't give me any problems, now.
