Internet Explorer Window closes on some threads?
Sometimes when I select a post to read, the window that DU is in closes. Is someone sabotaging the thread? Or do I need to change an IE setting. This happens occasionally and royally pisses me off!

Any ideas?

3. Same thing, the new window just went poof before opening!
I tried the Discussion thread "Dumbya's IQ is 91, Clinton's IQ is 182" as an example. It fails on me.

2. Also occasionally delete your cache files ...
... since too many cache files can cause some really weird IE behavior.

4. you might want to hold down the ctrl key when
you click on a thread within a thread. If you have a popup killer running on your machine it will sometimes prevent new widows from opening.

5. I do have a popup killer running.
Maybe that is the culprit. I hadn't even considered that. I'll definitely play around with that.
