    I have started having a problem - sometimes as soon as I open the forum, othertimes after a few mins i get the message "internet explorer has encountered a problem & needs close"
    It only happens in this forum - it has taken me 4 attempts to post this!!
    It either started last night or this morning
    I am on XP

    I've had that happen a couple times recently but think I was using safari at the time but it could have been firefox then again maybe IE. but one click and I was back in the site.

    I had this on my PC at work which has IE, I think its one of the banner images as if I'm quick I can bypass the home page and go straight to the new posts.

    I expect its an older version of IE though.

    Ie 6 has massive security issues because its so old, plus its supported less and less generally

    Id suggest downloading firefox http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/

    or ie8 if you wanna use explorer http://www.microsoft.com/windows/int...r/default.aspx

    Mikey, we now use Google Chrome on all our PC's. Much faster and much more simple than IE. And it will import all your bookmarks from IE.

    As Andy says, but, you really need to upgarde your IE6 to the latest version as a minimum, readily available, or, give Chrome a try, it's a no frills browser that actually works
