Problem opening links on a couple of websites

dwsjarcmcd

Hi,
I have a bit of an issue opening some links on a couple of sites that I use regularly. I have no problem on any sites other than these, for example this one.

Not only is this the case on my (older) desktop but also on my (almost brand new) laptop. One of the sites is weebly.com, which won't let me open an existing site to edit it.

Any ideas how to open these links? Is it something in my settings, firewalls etc. or is itthe sites?

Thanks

David

The firewall won't prevent you accessing a site, unless it's in a malware site filter. If you can access the web, you can access any website.

What sites?

The links under property wanted http://riviera.angloinfo.com/forum/forum.asp?FID=21 and I can't open pages to edit a website on weebly.com.

On both sites I can open the vast majority of links, just not the ones I really need!

You haven't by any chance recently downloaded Internet Explorer 8? Some people have issues opening some webpages with this programme.
The link in your post opened fine for me, using IE7.

Good luck

Yes I have! Any solution that you know of?

I reverted back to IE7. Go to Control Panel, look for Programmes and Features. Look under Tasks, left-hand side, View Installed Updates, and look for IE8. Just uninstall and you're back with IE7.

Good luck.

Or you could try Firefox. http://www.getfirefox.com

Have reverted back to IE 7 and tried both sites on Firefox and I still can't open the links from just these 2 sites.

Thoughts?
