OK, now I'm paranoid. Why is DU crashing my Web browser?

[LuckyTheDog]

Seems odd. But my Web browser has crashed several times tonight -- always when I have been on THIS site.

[WCGreen]

1. Same here....

It has something to do with an add on...

I guess...

[karlrschneider]

2. I don't see a star....

:P

[proud2BlibKansan]

3. Agent Mike has been reading my email

:)

[shance]

27. Sweetie, Agent Mike and his interns are reading everyones email, and we are paying for it

with our tax payer money.

Yes we as concerned Americans are doing our duty in trying to be the best citizens and are being spied on and having our daily lives invaded and our protections being dismantled,

and meanwhile the kids over seas are sitting ducks no decent armor in a war that is a lie and all it is doing is securing the oil for individuals like Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld, Alberto Gonzale, and Condoleeza Rice, oh and theres Andrew Card too

Meanwhile again, we have no adequate healthcare for most Americans and people are fighting like hell to get their kids in decent schools because the public schooling is being intentionally dismantled, we have more prisons and immigration camps being built ......

you get the picture?

[Viva_La_Revolution]

4. maybe you're just always on this site

Oh, sorry. I was projecting.

[Inspired]

5. It's been happening on mine too.

For the last couple of days my Internet Explorer crashes when I click on some comments or threads. At first I thought it was a problem with my computer settings or something. It only happens on the DU though.

[spindrifter]

6. Mine, too. Says it's

having trouble with a flash add-on. And I'm getting kind of ticked off!

[Rosa Luxemburg]

7. was going crazy

network service was going into spasms

[sellitman]

8. I have a Mac and it's happening to my browser too. (Safari)

I wonder whats up?

[elocs]

26. I have a Mac Mini using Camino and I have been fine. n/t

[sellitman]

28. I guess I'll use Firefox on DU for awhile.

No problems yet. I think it's the same platform as Camino anyhow.

[kevinmc]

9. Happened to me too .....earlier ,,,, n/t

[Captain Angry]

10. Mine hasn't crashed, but other weird things have happened.

On both my PC, and my Mac, I've had the mouse's scrolling wheel disable itself.

Only while on DU. It took a reboot to get it back in both cases.

Both cases I was using FireFox, but the different hardware should have eliminated most of the normal troubleshooting tricks.

Very odd.

[wildhorses]

11. having problems here, too

:shrug:

:tinfoilhat:

[demnan]

12. There seems to be an error in the Latest Flash addon

at least that's the error message I get. Sometimes it closes out the browser completely.

[nono]

15. Same here

n/t

[Poiuyt]

13. Someone on another thread said that it was the Flash player that's been corrupted

I use Firefox (on a Mac) with the Flashblocker add on and haven't had any trouble.

[globalvillage]

14. Same here.

Flash add-on error.

[madfloridian]

16. My Norton AV popped up message that it had stopped an intrusion.

And I was here when it happened. I did not save the name of it, but I would recognize it if I saw it again.

[Bitwit1234]

17. Mine also but....when that happens Adobe 9 flash

keeps popping up and saying it needs to be added on. Has anybody downloaded that. We had to uninstall it...That is the problem with our OE.

[asjr]

18. Oh my! I am not really crazy. This

has been happening to me for a few days and I thought I had screwed up somewhere. Only on this site. That is weird.

[stellanoir]

21. same here

on Safari. . .been happenin' for days. . on this site and this site only. . .no where else. . .I surf around a bit. . .my Mac is only 5 months old. . .Housten do we have a problem. . .?

[BlooInBloo]

30. Doesn't mean you're not crazy - just not for *that* reason. :)

[orleans]

19. why don't you pm the link to this thread to skinner or elad or earlg?

let them know what's happening to people.

i haven't had a problem but my norton keeps popping up the last number of days with a low threat telling me to ignore (i don't know if this is connected to what's going on here or if my norton is fucked up)

anyway, i would let them know.

[dave_p]

20. No problem here

IE6 has its uses.

[RC]

22. No problems here. I normally use Netscape 7.2

I have not had to use IE since microcrap started the automatic updates.

[BlackVelvet04]

23. I was having some problems until

I cleaned out my cookies and cache.

I had some cookies I've never seen before.

[Major Hogwash]

24. It's Earl's way of saying, "Welcome to my nightmare."

Hahahahahaha!

[camero]

25. I actually think they come under attack from freeps sometimes

You would think the pricks have something better to do but apparently not from living in Daddy's basement.

[woo me with science]

29. Same here, with same message about Flash add-on. nt

[bobthedrummer]

31. Some of us were discussing information warfare here years ago, we

were often dismissed and marginalized then.

Imo and experience its due to information warfare, LuckyTheDog. So don't get paranoid, join the battle and NGU.
