Something wrong with my computer or is it WP? I keep getting that error message. Never happened before.

WP keeps going down a lot, and that'll happen no matter what browser you use. Just keep reloading until it works.

No, but it'll move him in to web 2.0.

I heard IE no longer supports colours.

As long as he ain't using IE6, he's still in the 21st century.

I use Firefox myself, BTW, I just don't approve of people being all evangelic about a stupid bloody browser.

There is a new java script running on this site. It may have something to do with it. try turning off scripts.

I have a simple solution. Don't use IE.

I refuse to give up on IE, although it does seem to have quite a number of problems. Often it is less than compatible with older websites and anything that is a little fancier like a simple script will not load properly. But WP is a just a PHP forum. It should be easy to implement. Why make it so complicated?

The problem with turning off scripts is that other websites will not work properly without it. Whoever wrote that new script, does not know how to write decent code.
