Funny you should mention it as mine crashed twice on Sunday while on there
I fail to see how a web site can crash a computer??

Thats easy... lol - I have written a website that lists the content of your computer and then opens MS Word (or Notepad if word doesn't exist) for you... without your permission.

Mind you that was before the intruduction of the better security into browsers, so harder to do now, but still possible

If I can do that anyone can write a website (badly coded or deliberate) to crash your computer!

On another note, a certain anti Microsoft Website stops you accessing their site if you use Internet Explorer on a friday

I was having the same problem with MG-Rover.org (the crashing that is, not the feeling unwelcome - if you want that you just go to theZR!)

I get that feeling on occasion
It's interesting that not everybody who is on both sites uses the same name on both? I don't ether but that was a technical glitch on my part

Ah, its now in the hands of the Chinese then - best be careful what you say, some people who don't entirely like saic or the 6 have disappeared off the planet...

iv'e just clicked who you are on central and here was me thinking i had two people interested in my attempt at a meet on the topic of xpf i too have little if no feeling of welcome apart from when i signed up that lasted all of a day, much better on here central and .org.

I's not crashing the computer, just stopping internet explorer from working.

It only happens on the desktop which is running the last version, not the laptop which is running the latest version.

The same happens if Mrs TC leaves it on one of the facebook games and leaves the PC to go to sleep.

I had the same problem with .org a few times a few weeks ago, I had forgotten that.

I use the same user name everywhere, it's just easier.
