seems to be crashing my browser 
is anyone else having this?
on IE (and no, i'm not having any, "firefox is better blah blah blah" nonsense 
)
don't know if its a new version of IE or what. there seems to have been some update to it though. it now seems to be able to close and restart
individual tabs if they are causing problems. but, when the subscription page causes problems, it closes the tabs, and reopens it on the subscription
page, which the crashes again. been like this for a couple of days now
check if it has automatically upgraded you to ie8, id so you can downgrade back to ie7 via add/remove programs in the control panel
hth
^ cheers
i had wondered about some auto upgrade, but going into add/remove programs, it says the ie8 upgrade was last used on 22/10/09. i quite like ie8, but
if its been there for that long, i now *don't think* its the problem, but i did expect it was

Firefox is better blah blah bah. Just don't put any of those Google, Yahoo, AVG toolbars on. They screw things up.
I know FF is ment to be good, but I'm not sure I like the new one, and I've had more issues with it than IE8
I've got a fully upto date version of IE8 (i.e. not just auto updates) running on 3 different XP machines and one my new win 7 machine - and
I've never had any real issues
the compatability mode thing seams to sort out the few pages that don't work
and I'm saying that as somone always used netscape navigator back in the day.....

I did have some issues with FF a while back, and found out that it had been updated to en-US.....
I installed the en-GB version and has been fine since.......
To find out which version you have, click 'Help' > 'About Mozilla Firefox... The version should be somewhere near the
bottom.......

Sorry Blake.......I was actually answering Mcerd1's post ....but I see he has edited it/added to it since......
Fozzie
sorry I'm bad for that...
Blake, what OS are you running ?
^ no worries
xp, its ie 8, no toolbars or anything running (only 1 google search one which has always been there) only thing i can think of is that my computer has
taken some kind of exception to an advert or something on that page. i doubt there would have been any changes to the code or anything though?
tried that compatability mode, and that didn't make a difference
have you got a link to the page ?
(just to make sure its deffinatly working on mine)
BTW this machine (XP pro, SP3) is running IE 8.6001.18702

right click, properties - on my computer, that'll tell you if you've got SP2 or 3
but I wouldn't think that would affect it either
the address is the same for everyone I think:
http://www.locostbuilders.co.uk/memcp.php?action=subscriptions
I've never had an issue with that page on any browser
have you tried running IE with no add-ons ?
(start menu, all programs, accessories, system tools -> )
or try deleting all your cookies for this site, and then log back on (you'll need to re-enter your user and password for this site)
you can get to them in IE form:
tools, internet options, browsing history (settings button), view files
or they are in:
C:doucuments and settings{your user name}cookies
if you can't see the cookies folder, its because your machine is set to hide some folders (default setting)
to change it: (on a normal window ie. my computer) tools, folder options, view - and tick show hidden files/folders
(if you know all that already, just ignore me)

removing chews as avatar leads to crashing
i think you're right
i got an 'automatic u2u' saying she would be deleted because she was too big. she'd been there for months! angry robots are cool too
though, so i'll have him for now

just tried all them, the only thing that was different was with no add ons, it got as far as actually opening the page, but then froze. so no better really.
