Just noticed this occuring in the last day. I'm not sure why it is happening, but clicking to links to things not in the forum using IE (well, in this case firefox with IE-tab+), generates a new tab labled "about:blank".

The answer IMO - IE. *shudder*

Stick to FF. It's better. ;)

FF is. Unfortuntly, on this one computer, for no apparent reason, FF is getting white-page errors, meaning I have to use IE-tab-plus for this one site. Tested it out with IE itself, and got the same problem.

1) Could be a problem with phpBB2

*or*

2) Have you updated FF/IE ?

*or*

3) Have you prayed to the great Computer gods for guidance?
