OK, I'll try that out. It might be that Google Chrome is logging me off whereas IE never did this. I've noticed even worse stuff though on another site that uses similar software and on that one I definitely was logged in. I just can't use IE any longer. Thanks.

Bob I also have had it with IE on my home computers. I switched to Firefox a few months ago and I'm pretty happy with it. I tried Google Chrome for a little bit but it seemed short on tools, or I didn't know how to use it, or I was hammered on the nog too...

Either way, Firefox is very similar to IE and it doesn't lock up every other minute and I don't have Flash crashing constantly. And its free. I'd recommend you try it if you haven't already. http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/ie.html

Next time I promise I wont wait to finish the egg nog before I snap a screen shot ...

I wonder if the website operator doesn't know a thing about it and Google gets all the advertising revenue? How many people use Google Chrome as a browser?
I use IE and its always there when I'm not logged in. If I log in they go away. I have never used Chrome so it may just do it with that browser even when you are logged in.

What IE were you using?? I used to love Firefox and it was the only browser I used then I built a new system and upgraded to Windows 7 and have IE 8 and actually like it alot better then the new Firefox so I went back to IE.

I have IE 8 at work and it is much better than prior versions, I agree Vance.

Default Sorry, this is really OT

I have IE 7 under XP. I tried 8 and had to roll it back. It was truly awful. At this point something has happened to IE with the latest updates because it's unusable on mine and my wife's machine simultaneously. So I just installed firefox on my wife's machine and I'm trying Google Chrome. Immediately all my issues ceased. So I think it may be a broken registry entry or something. It's time to rebuild the computers I suppose. It's just such an enormous chore that I've been avoiding it. I have a legacy application that won't fresh-install but it can be moved with one of those conversion programs but I'd like to finally get around that. This time I'd like to start with a virgin registry.

From what I've heard Windows 7 will require a much faster cpu and even more GD memory so maybe I'll stick with XP as long as I can. Any thoughts?

Maybe you guys should respond off-line as this ain't exactly Jag related.

I can endorse the Firefox one above; I've been using it for around a year now since my XP explorer went umptivarious, and it's been spot on. And it's free, one of my favorite words.

Maybe we shouldn't hijack Mike's thread too much, still I captured this with Chrome. So we will let you off with the Egg Nog

Related to Google Ads( don't like this at all, as you say it looks like a post, but is not and is obviously tracking IPs.
