The first link would open as usual with a double click but some links thereafter, sometimes from in a email, sometimes not, the link would not, I solved it by single right click of the link and open. Try the right click and open, if that does not help, hopefully someone else might be able to help	Guest (0)

Seems to be a problem with many ISPs at the moment... they just can't handle the load I think. Especially seems to be happening to ZFree, but also many other ISPs all over the country. Best thing you can do (other than complain to the ISP, which is usually ignored) is to just be patient and wait for the pages to load.	Guest (0)
