Re: IE8 Beta 2 crashes trying to run vBulletin Okay, here's an actual Microsoft Support item addressing the issue. BUG: Error message when you visit a Web page or interact with a Web application in Internet Explorer: "Operation aborted" Yet, I still can't get it.  Any help here is appreciated. Quote |

Re: IE8 Beta 2 crashes trying to run vBulletin AHA! Here's the issue! Sitemeter Crashing Web Sites Using Internet Explorer on August 1, 2008; August 2, 2008 We apologize if you’ve been trying to visit the site this evening (1-Aug-08) and it’s been down. The SiteMeter (Site Meter - Counter and Statistics Tracker) tracking code that counts visitors to our site was causing all visits from Internet Explorer to crash. We first realized the issue at 8:30pm Eastern Daylight Time (EDT), and given there was no other reporting of the error at the time, we believe we were the first to find it. After further investigation, we discovered that SiteMeter is bringing down every site where its counter code is loaded when the visiting browser is Internet Explorer versions 6.0 and 7.0. The error may also affect Internet Explorer 5.5. Tens of thousands of publishers use sitemeter to track their content, including thousands of bloggers. The result: sitemeter takes down the internet? not quite.. but its pretty amazing. The text of the error received is: “Internet Explorer cannot open the internet site.” Here's the fix supposedly....I'm going to test it out myself now.... Here is the fix for users of IE 6 and 7 who are getting the "operation aborted" message. Follow These Steps Exactly: Open Internet Explorer. Click on the menu Tools -> Internet Options. Click on the tab Security. Click on the icon Restricted Sites. Click on the button Sites. Under Add this website to the zone: Type the text ‘ *.sitemeter.com ’ (with asterisk and dot & without the quotes). Click the Add button. Click Close. Click OK. All sites will work again without error messages coming up. Quote |

Re: IE8 Beta 2 crashes trying to run vBulletin You know...the 'fix' doesn't seem to be working. How do I remove 'sitemeter' from my site? Quote |

Re: IE8 Beta 2 crashes trying to run vBulletin when you added sitemeter they gave you code to add...if you can't remember the code go back to sitemeter, get the code, and search for it in your templates... Quote |
