Show Us Your Docks!

Monday, March 24, 2008 by Xiandi | Discussion: WinCustomize Site Issues

Every time I try to access the thread "Show Us Your Docks!" I get this error.

Internet explorer cannot open the Internet site http: forums.wincustomize.com/51830

Thats the only thread thats doing it.

When you report issues with any of our websites, it's near impossible for us to do anything about it if you dont provide us with Operating System and version, Browser name and exact version and the URL of the page giving you troubles.

I think my next update to the forums will include a giant popup reminding people of this...

Based upon that (really vague) description I'm going to assume you were using IE when trying to navigate to 'forums.wincustomize.com/51830'. I've used every browser I have installed, which includes; IE6, IE7, IE8 beta, Firefox 2.0.0.13, Opera (latest), Safarai (which we dont support, but anyhow). All browsers worked fine and that error was not thrown.

It is still doing it. I thought it would work itself out eventually. It didn't.

I get this every time I try to access it. It does not matter what way I try to go at it, click on the title, click on a page number or "last", click on the button for the last read post.

I get this image and then once I click "OK" on the error, I get the screen that says "Internet Explorer cannot display the web page."

I have XP Pro and use IE7.

ahh i see the problem.. you are using IE ..no seriously.. try another browser.

It can't be my browser, can it? There is NO OTHER thread that's doing it, just that one.

It's an issue with how IE7 is handling the javascript on the page. Since we've tested with many copies of IE7 here, it's localized to your system. Use CCleaner to remove all of your temp files and try again. That's really my only other suggestion. If you're brave, download IE8 beta. It doesnt suffer from the same problem as IE7 in this context.
