Page hangs after clicking on hyperlink but opens fine in new tab

[damienlch]

Hi... I'm using IE9 and I've been experiencing a peculiar error for like the past week or so...

When I open up my browser and access this site through my bookmark of the homepage(http://www.thesnookerforum.com/board), the site loads properly.

When I start clicking on the hyperlinks to surf the posted threads, the pages load fine initially but always hang after I clicked on a few more links. The browser finally shows error message page "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" for the page that failed to load.

Here's the really peculiar bit; I found out that when the page hangs, I can right click on the link to open up the page in a new tab. The page loads just fine in the new tab.

Anyone have similar issues or solutions?

I'd try another browser if I were you. I use Firefox, it's not perfect, none of them are, but it's a lot better than IE, faster and generally more stable in my experience.

Thanks Pat, I've been hearing the same from my techie mates... I guess it's about time I give it a go.

Try using chrome mate. Never have any problems when using it. Used to get all of the above when using explorer. I.E is a terrible browser IMO

Thanks for the recommendations guys... just installed Firefox... should've done that years ago.

IE sucks IMO...
