I don't have Adblock or much else blocking things, as far as I can see. What would be stopping it?

637275 2008-02-04 04:31:00 What browser is it not working in?

I just tried with Firefox and it opened the new page OK. Have you tried it with a different news article?

637276 2008-02-04 05:06:00 Using Firefox. Sorry, forgot to mention that (assumed?, on this forum??)

I tried other stories, but none of them work.

637277 2008-02-04 06:16:00 Try starting Firefox in safe mode and see if the problem persists. You can find this option under Start Menu > All Programs > Firefox. Jen (38)
637278 2008-02-04 07:25:00 Safe mode made no difference. The blue progress bar bottom right jumps to about half way, and then goes no further.

Does it require java?

637279 2008-02-04 23:45:00 you'll probably find that it is constipated rather than blocked. i say this because the herald is so full of sh*t !!! globe (11482)

It is fairly right wing, that's for sure, but occasionally I would like to "send them my view", I tried another computer with Firefox installed, and that didn't work either. In neither case do I get a message about having to install plugins though?

You should not assume anything.
I use the browser that works for me.
