Why does this crash my browser

April 11, 2000 11:01 AM

...and sometimes metafilter crashes my browser (ie5 on windows 2000; lots of times, actually), but if i go to haughey.com, click through to a detail from the menu on the right, then click through to "home" from the top of the page, i get there fine. quite odd, and i wonder why this is. i also wonder why photoshop always crashes right along with the browser, and only when i go to metafilter.

i do love metafilter, though, and this is the only thing that prevents me from loving metafilter in an "all-out monkey love slamfest" sort of way. well, not really.

hmm. that's the oddest bug I've heard of so far. There are some odd cookie issues with going to metafilter.com vs. www.metafilter.com that I'm working on, but I have no idea why the site would crash a browser (and photoshop)...

yeah, i don't know what it is. i put in the www, so that can't be it. i've gotten used to it, though; just don't take it off your site, or i'll never get here! thanks!
