Is anybody else experiencing Internet Explorer locking up - shortly after posting on this forum site today?

No all good here Petros
Re: Problems with AWF and internet explorer?
petros, try going to the min page, the hit shift and f5 buttons together. This will clear the cache, might help.
Another thing that might help is - go to the 'tools' drop down menu, and select internet options:

Click the two buttons as above, and clear your temp internet files.
Cheers
Chris

or Maxthon 3 is good
Thanks for the instructions Chris, I should have thought of that. I have to do that a lot as you pick up so many cookies and temp internet files these days.

Re: Problems with AWF and internet explorer?
Thanks all - will do now.
Re: Problems with AWF and internet explorer?
Done that, (which again resulted in an IE 'not responding" crash) - so hopefully all good after this post. 

Re: Problems with AWF and internet explorer?
Nup crashed again as soon as I posted (no problems with banking etc.)...
...petros, try going to the min page, the hit shift and f5 buttons together. This will clear the cache, might help.
Havent done that yet Dav. but what do you mean by the "min page"?

Try Google Chrome?
I think you can hit Shift + F5 regardless of where you are and it will clear the cache

Yep, I've used Google Chrome ever since it came out and it has never failed me.

Re: Problems with AWF and internet explorer?
sorry, i meant the Main Page.
I gave up with Internet explorer last year Petros, too many crashes like you are describing. Google Chrome will change your life!
Don't want to sound like a salesman, but it's heaps more stable and hogs less memory than IE.

Re: Problems with AWF and internet explorer?
This post will crash my IE again.... but why should I have to use another browser when I've learnt this one and this site is the only site that crashes IE, and that only happens after I hit the "submit" button!
The post is always successfull, but I have to crash out of IE (dont need to restart PC thank God).
Whats the difference software/IW-wise posting on this comparted to any other forum? I am definitely an internet software dinasour!

Re: Problems with AWF and internet explorer?
There's obviously a bit of code in this forum that doesn't agree with your browser and/or computer.
What version of IE are you using? An update might help.

test post with I.E. 6.02
Re: Problems with AWF and internet explorer?
interesting stuff - just posted the last post above, while watching task manager - nothing else open, memory usage went from 129mb to 149mb.
Re: Problems with AWF and internet explorer?
and again, popped up to 165 after 2nd post. Think you are onto something there Meso.
This one was posted through google chrome, and it sat at 89mb and didn't move after the post...

Re: Problems with AWF and internet explorer?
Nothing's been changed on the forum in months though, why all of a sudden would there be an issue when there has been no change?
