It happens to me too in Internet Explorer but not Firefox or Opera. It's been that way for a while.

Of course, this isn't my CPU which has IE 6.

that's freaking weird......and I have no idea why it would be happening...the middle section pulls stuff from the project database.

Have you EVER seen the middle section?

It's been a long time since it has worked with IE. And I'm on all the latest patches under WinXP. Also tried 'low' security settings but no go. Doesn't work on my laptop, desktop or work computer - all IE. Also, can not open the article that starts with Mr. X. Works fine under Firefox on all computers.

sure, on my home CPU, but it has IE 6. I don't what this version is. (I'm on vacation again)

Yes I've seen it the way it should be now. But I don't remember when that was. I would guess that probably 50% of the visitors to this site, see it as it is above.
Hopefully you can find a fix.

Ig....I have IE6 at work and home and it works fine....XP as well.

Any other computer dorks out there that could maybe know what this is?


that part of the site uses php and mysql to pull up information.....any way one of you can pull up the source, save it off and email it to me?

It's probably just my sloppy coding but I have no idea where or why since it's always worked for me.

I just figured it out. Norton Internet Security blocks it. If I turn of Norton, it works.

I guess it's probably if you have any version of IE that is lower than 6, but of course, I can't be sure of that.

I was thinking something like that.....still don't get why. What would it be blocking, thinking it's an ad maybe? Weird.

Just tried turning off AD Blocking only and it works. Other ad blockers may be doing it too.

try it now with the ad blocking on...I changed something that might fix it.


rich..what firewall are you using? Does it also have an adblocker?

This sucks and shows why those things aren't great....those aren't even close to being ads.
