After the recent spate of connectivity problems here at SDMB the powers that be did some upgrades to the servers or something and it seems to have solved the problem for everyone…except me. 
I’m still getting knocked offline repeatedly with a popup saying “A problem with this page has caused IE to close and reopen. We are seeking a solution”. It doesn’t happen to me with any other website but the SDMB. Do I need to do something to get back to normal?
Nope. Me, too. (And only on here.)
But I’ve been informed they’re trying to keep me out without hurting my feelings.
Present and pouting.
I got knocked off trying to respond to your OP.
I guess it just takes time…
I am a bit puzzled by this. I too have had troubles with the site in recent weeks, and they have not fully cleared up, but I have never been “knocked offline” by it in the sense that the OP seems to mean, i.e., my browser being forced to shut down. The problems are purely ones of connectivity. Pages that refuse to load, or take an awfully long time.
Very rarely my browser has crashed or been forced to shut down at other sites (often naughty ones :o). I think this happens either because the site is trying to run some complex script, that has bugs, or is trying (mostly unsuccessfully) to infect me with malware (doing which probably does involve complex and sometimes deliberately buggy scripts). If the Dope is doing this to you, it is almost certainly due to malware infected ads being served, but, the people who run the board have very little control over this. If you want to avoid it happening, you need to take steps at your end. I recommend:
[ol]
[li]Don’t use IE. Use a better browser.[/li][li]Use an ad blocker, script blocker or flash blocker. (Personally I find the Flashblock extension to Firefox, the least drastic of these options, quite sufficient to avoid most of these problems.)[/li][li]Make sure your browser version, and any addons, such as flash, are the most recent version, and are kept up to date.[/li][li]Either disable the Java plugin in your browser, or, if you do not have a specific, known need for it, remove Java (which is not the same thing as JavaScript) from your computer altogether.[/li][li]Make sure you have some decent ant-virus software installed, and keep it up to date. There is plenty available for free these days.[/li][/ol]
From this thread:
I think you can apply the same idea with this. Don’t use Internet Explorer. Mozilla Firefox and Chrome are recommended (at least by me).
I have been having the same problem, both with my home computer and at work. I am not going to change my browser, sorry.
It hasn’t been as bad today.
