gcthompson Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 I've had the same problem. Are you perchance using NTL? I think it's something weird with their "transparent" proxies. Define your own HTTP proxy tools ->options -> connection settings -> manual proxy configuration You'll have to do a search on the interweb thingy for a proxy you can use though... Oddly enough the problem only really happens when I'm looking at neowin or theinquirer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krankyiuys Posted August 8, 2004 Author Share Posted August 8, 2004 i'm actually using BT - it happens occasionally to me on neowin too, but on some of the links on the microsoft website it happens nearly all the time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varsity Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 This is to do with the page being sent as the wrong MIME type to your copmuter. There's nothing the client can do to fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zhangm Supervisor Posted August 8, 2004 Supervisor Share Posted August 8, 2004 Unlikely theory, but could you be triggering the View Source gesture with AiO? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arrrgh Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 Is the AiO version one with the enhanced link tooltip? (Shows the link size if I remember right) If so, that feature was removed from the later versions because it caused the described behaviour on some sites. Edit: At that time clicking the word 'Viihde' (Entertainment in English) on the red bar at http://www.iltalehti.fi/ caused this to me pretty often. Disabling the Link tooltip or updating AiO fixes this, though you'll lose the link size feature. http://perso.wanadoo.fr/marc.boullet/ext/extensions-en.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krankyiuys Posted August 8, 2004 Author Share Posted August 8, 2004 actually - that would make sense that the link tooltip size thingy might cause the error! i'll try disabling it for a few days and see if the error returns... thanks for the suggestion!

krankyiuys Posted August 8, 2004 Author Share Posted August 8, 2004 i upgraded from AiO 0.11.1 to 0.12.2 and noticed that there is no link size thing anymore. fingers crosses that this fixes this dreadful bug! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
