My hyperlinks don't work from inside of democratic underground.

Any suggestions as to what the problem might be? Also,spell check no longer works.

1. Can you give an example?

Maybe your browser program is messed up... try reinstalling your browser.

3. When I click on any hyperlink inside of a DU post, I receive an

error message rather than going to the site. I'm using IE8 with XP and have tried to reinstall my IE. It doesn't help.

6. "I receive an error message"

...might be helpful to know what the message sez, no? :shrug:

[ladjf]

7. "The Internet Explorer has encountered an error and will have

to close". I click on "don't send error" and then I'm returned to whatever post I was viewing.
I also get same error from inside most other sites.

2. It's a conspiracy...and we are all in on it. n/t

4. Have you tried using a different browser? /nt

5. No. Which one would you suggest and would I still be able to

use my IE8 if I installed an different browser?

8. It is an error within your Explorer, XP, or both. But Rabble

has the best suggestion - another browser. There are many, and personal tastes vary, so "best" varies as well.

You can install Chrome

http://www.google.com/chrome

from that link, Google's browser, or just do a search for others.

You can leave IE 8 on there, even bring them both up simultaneously.

9. I would also recommend Chrome, and it won't interfere with IE at all. In fact...

You can have as many browsers as you like, and they won't cross-interfere. While I prefer Chrome, others can make a case for Firefox, Opera, or Safari.

There's no way anyone can guarantee it's a browser issue, but it seems likely, and installing a different browser is a quick and easy way to find out. At the very least, I promise it will do no harm.

10. I downloaded and installed Chrome. It fixed all of the issue I was

having with IE8 and it's a bit faster executing everything. I still have my IE8 for some things that are useful Thanks.
