	Crash problem with OT thread Support Apolyton, buy Civilization III: Complete

Dissident's antidepressants thread in the OT is crashing my IE browser every time I open it, after a few seconds. The browser just closes, instantly.

This only happens with this one thread, and I can't remember ever having this problem before in all my years at Apolyton.

I'm running Internet Explorer 6.0.

no problem here either. Maybe your browser is depressed.

Tantalization... That was a new word for me... What does it mean?

Tantalization = "to excite (another) by exposing something desirable while keeping it out of reach"

I feel honored my thread is the one crashing your browser.

I had a browser crash yesterday. But that was only after I opened a link. It was to some Haynes page. But it's one of those things where you can have a picture and then have a computerized force make it look like the picture is talking. something like that. Well that link crashed my browser including the Poly window.

Well it's still happening for me. Of course if it's just me, I can avoid that particular thread, but I thought the admins would want to know, in case there's a problem with coding or some such on the boards.

Didn't bother to check the thread, didya?? At three pages of thoughtful responses to a serious question, I have to say that your "rubbishy" comment is very curious.

Since the admins don't seem to be interested in this problem, and considering I'm the only one having it, this thread may be closed now.

No need for yet another Community Coffee Shop thread.

They may have seen it but just not responded.
As was suggested before though, using a different browser is always good, if only because other companies have kept developing their browsers while IE has remained virtually static.

Yep. If you must use IE, at least get the most current, patched version. And for it's worth, I have an ancient Netscape 4.79 browser that follows the link just fine.

Since you are the only one having the problem, it's a good bet something is amiss with your browser. If so, this is flashing light warning you to get it fixed...or upgraded.

Good luck.

Opera is good.
Mozilla Firebird is good.

While it's true that Netscape is a recent orphan, it works quite well for now. At least it does not have the gaping security holes of IE and it is easy to use.

Yeah.........some fanatics will try and convince you of one or the other, but starting from where you are both are good.

opera and firebird are both good. miles ahead of that rotten piece of junk called IE.
