#1 Yep. IE has the problem and Firefox doesn't.

#3 People having problems connecting to web sites.
If you have sitemeter and us Internet Explorer, they are not working together and will not allow
you to get into your blog. What it also means that I cannot read any blogs with sitemeters on them.
THIS was a HUGE problem in blogspot land last night and right now.
What you do is:
go to blogspot.com
log in
get to your dashboard
then layouts
remove sitemeter.

THAT is the only reason my blog was working lst night
hope this helps some of you

1. Open menu item: ToolsOptions
2. Click Security tab
3. Select Restricted Sites
4. Click Sites button
5. Under Add this website to this zone, enter *.sitemeter.com without the quotes
6. Click Add button
7. Close windows using Close or OK, not Cancel.
This is a wide spread problem that I have noted in comment sections of quite a few sites yesterday.

#4 If it drives people away from the buggy, non-standard pile of crap that is IE, then I can only applaud Sitemeter.

#5 must be the same guy that designed the Zonealarm update last month. Don't they test this shit before pushing it out the door?

#8 Yep, I have site meter on my home page and intend to keep it. They'll fix it soon enough.

#9 That is why I use Firefox.

#10 I've found that some browsers are better than others at handling certain sites, so I use them. I have Opera, Firefox, Netscape, and IE on my computer, and use them in that order. I very, very rarely use IE - maybe once every three months. I use Opera and Firefox daily. Fred, I have one problem with Opera and Rantburg: I frequently don't get the full article after I post a comment. Other than that, everything works great!

#11 I use Firefox and no problems with the Burg. On comments, I have to copy or hand type the html formatting commands, as the buttons don't work. However that is a small price to pay for a stable browser.

#12 Working fine with IE.

#13 IE 8 (still in beta) DOES NOT gag on the sitemeter code update. It is a known issue that MS never bothered with and sitemeter previously worked around. I'd say sitemeter is going to be the big loser in this when all's said and done...
