    if you are using a popup blocker this maybe the reason, you can either turn that off or try holding down the control key as u click on the link.

    hope this helps

    It's even happening when I click on links on MSE forum which has never happened before.

    Holding down the control key doesn't help either

    Who is your ISP?

    You can also try running these from the rum prompt.

    ipconfig /flushdns

    netsh int ip reset c:\resetlog.txt

    See how it goes, it could be down to your ISP. You may not be at fault.
