When I click on a link it doesn't work. e.g: I was searching through a website which has a link to another but when I click the link nothing happens. This applies to various sites. Can anyone help please?

(bottom right thingy to click on and change pop-up blocker settings with Firefox)
if indeed this applies in general, how are you getting on with AV forums ... i.e. clicking between forum page and threads?

- thats their R1 site
and say I do a search on Remington Steele Season 3, the results are on this page: www.find-dvd.co.uk/r1/024543232834.htm, and clicking on the "visit shop" links on the right opens a new window (or tab, if right clicking and selecting a tab) which starts off as an affiliate/lead-tracked URL and then resolves into the retailer's proper URL for that item. Have no problems, so the site must be fine.
Have you tried accessing these inaccessible pages by right-clicking on the link, and then selecting Copy Link Location (Firefox) or Copy Shortcut (IE)... then opening a new browser window or tab and pasting in this copied URL in the address bar and seeing if the page loads?
do they also remove adverts for good advertising removing softwareSingh400 said:...are text adverts, and would be removed by any good advertising removing software.
Singh400 said:Sounds like you have an advertising removing software. Because those 3 links above wb browsers are text adverts, and would be removed by any good advertising removing software.
krish72 said:okay, so those googlesyndication.com lead tracking links work fine and resolve to proper URL with both IE and Firefox
I prefer firefox, as I find it more stable (less prone to shutting down), faster, functional and ergonomic - if I can use that word to describe software. However I would prefer it if it also had a reassuring "click" sound as you get with IE (and Windows explorer in general).
Works well with all the secure sites - SSL connections / https
Is this problem with IE only?
I have IE7 RC1 installed (just released yesterday, no problems installing, still a clumsy browser compared to Firefox) - www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/downloads - perhaps that may correct the IE issue???
BTW, I'm not an IT person, so my advice is only anecdotal
Stop it, you'll confuse me!krish72 said:do they also remove adverts for good advertising removing software
