Even now, or was it just a temporary thing?

I ask that because, I've had that happen a number of times in the last couple of days (although I'm using Firefox). You just get a blank page?
I used to come here a lot.

I just started getting error messages on random pages... but using a school computer. This has never happened before. :D

If you reload several times it clears.  It seems to be related to links in the threads.  Maybe youtube, maybe more...

Okay, same problem, same thread. I'm wondering if it is a YouTube thing, like Mr W said.

need more info...

What version of IE (help > about)

Does it happen on other threads with embedded youtube videos such as the "now listening to"

I have my suspicions that IE7 doesn't like the lightbox mod, but I thought that issue was only related to SMF2beta, which we aren't running...

I have a different mod that supposedly is better than the lightbox mod... maybe I should switch, and see if one of you can give me feedback...

I gave up on IE quite a while ago and so moved onto Mozilla Firefox, which in my opinion is far superior in speed and functionality.....  I now only use Google Chrome as my browser... never get failed paged, error messages or incompatibility issues.... it's excellent - highly recommended!

Just wait a cotton picking minute  :D

I would almost agree except today I try to log into my bank and it showed your browser doesn't support it  :think: hmmm maybe I should reboot,but yes I run chrome for ages now and this is the only hicup so far  :salute:


[edit]oh and my saved thumbnails are different today too,what's going on chrome   :pok:  :twak: :think:

OK I take that back.  I'm running IE and each time I click on a thread with a youtube vid on it I just get a blank screen with "Done with errors" down the bottom.
I'm back!!

looks like the lightbox mod was causing these issues... now have a similar mod installed that imho might even be better...
