For the last week, everytime I try to access my draft board for minor adjustments it crashes my browser. Doesn't matter if I'm at home or at work, it totally crashes which really sucks!

Is this happening to anyone else? I'm getting concerned because there are a few minor adjustments I want to make to it before it's too late!

Thanks in advance,

What browser you are using?
Maybe this is the reason for the crash? At least I didn't receive any complaints except from this one here

IE 8, same as the one I used to create my current board.

Using IE 8 on both machines, I was able to set everything up now everytime I access it, I get the message "Explorer Not Responding"

Just a friendly hint: try using a real browser, IE just sucks...it crashs whenever it likes, sometimes without a real reason. It has security holes...it is from Microsoft

It is not only from a developers perspective...even for users there are better browsers out there, Firefox and Chrome as example.

Not saying it is related to it, but IE sucks man, you should download Firefox or even Chrome to your Computer, at least your own computer, since you probably can't do that in your work computer.

But it might not be related to this issue you are having, but it still sucks royaly.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT::;
For those of you that have not heard this yet, and use Internet explorer as your browser, it is being strongly advised that you DO NOT continue to use Internet Explorer, until further notice......

This also includes those of you that have downloaded the security fix, that Microsoft put out at the beginning of the week, the Fix does not fix the problem, and it is just a temporary patch.

Countries, are even urging their residents not to use Internet explorer, until a permanent fix has been released

Microsoft urges customers to install security tool

BOSTON (Reuters) - Microsoft Corp urged Windows users on Monday to install a free piece of security software to protect PCs from a newly discovered bug in the Internet Explorer browser.
The security flaw, which researchers say could allow hackers to take remote control of an infected PC, affects Internet Explorer browsers used by hundreds of millions of consumers and workers. Microsoft said it will advise customers on its website to install the security software as an interim measure, buying it time to fix the bug and release a new, more secure version of Internet Explorer.
The free security tool, which is known as the Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit, or EMET, is available on Microsoft's website: http://bit.ly/Kv497S
Eric Romang, a researcher in Luxembourg, discovered the flaw in Internet Explorer on Friday, when his PC was infected by a piece of malicious software known as Poison Ivy that hackers use to steal data or take remote control of PCs.
When he analyzed the infection, he learned that Poison Ivy had gotten on to his system by exploiting a previously unknown bug, or "zero-day" vulnerability, in Internet Explorer.
"Any time you see a zero-day like this, it is concerning," said Liam O Murchu, a research manager with anti-virus software maker Symantec Corp. "There are no patches available. It is very difficult for people to protect themselves."
Zero-day vulnerabilities are rare, mostly because they are hard to identify - requiring highly skilled software engineers or hackers with lots of time to scrutinize code for holes that can be exploited to launch attacks. Security experts only disclosed discovery of eight major zero day vulnerabilities in all of 2011, according Symantec.
Symantec and other major anti-virus software makers have already updated their products to protect customers against the newly discovered bug in Internet Explorer. Yet O Murchu said that may not be sufficient to ward off adversaries.
"The danger with these types of attacks is that they will mutate and the attackers will find a way to evade the defenses we have in place," he said.
Some security experts said computer users should avoid Internet Explorer, even if they install the EMET security tool available from Microsoft.
"It doesn't appear to be completely effective," said Tod Beardsley, an engineering manager with the security firm Rapid7.
Rapid7 released software on Monday that security experts can use to simulate attacks that exploit the security flaw in Internet Explorer to see whether corporate networks are vulnerable to that particular bug.
Marc Maiffret, chief technology officer of the security firm BeyondTrust, said it may not be feasible for some businesses and consumers to install Microsoft's EMET tool on their PCs.
He said the security software has in some cases proven to be incompatible with existing programs already running on networks.
Dave Marcus, director of advanced research and threat intelligence with Intel Corp's McAfee security division, said it might be a daunting task for home users to locate, download and install the EMET tool.
"For consumers it might be easier to simply click on Chrome," Marcus said.
Internet Explorer was the world's second-most widely used browser last month, with about 33 percent market share, according to StatCounter. It was close behind Google Inc's Chrome browser, which had 34 percent of the market.

Germany urges public to stop using Internet Explorer

FRANKFURT/BOSTON (Reuters) - The German government urged the public on Tuesday to temporarily stop using Microsoft Corp's Internet Explorer following discovery of a yet-to-be repaired bug in the Web browser that the software maker said makes PCs vulnerable hacker attacks.
It issued the warning as a researcher said he found evidence that suggests the hackers who exploited the flaw were seeking to attack defense contractors.
Microsoft said on Monday that attackers can exploit the bug in its Internet Explorer, used on hundreds of millions of computers, to infect the PC of somebody who visits a malicious website and then take control of the victim's computer.
The German government's Federal Office for Information Security, or BSI, said it was aware of targeted attacks and that all that was needed was to lure Web surfers to a website where hackers had planted malicious software that exploited the bug.
"A fast spreading of the code has to be feared," the German government said in its statement.
BSI advised all users of Internet Explorer to use an alternative browser until the manufacturer has released a security update.
Officials with Microsoft did not respond to a request to comment on the move by the German government, although the company downplayed the impact of the flaw in a written statement.
"There have been an extremely limited number of attacks," said company spokeswoman Yunsun Wee. "The vast majority of Internet Explorer users have not been impacted."
The company said it planned to release software to protect PCs from attack within the next few days. Customers must manually install the code by visiting Microsoft's website and clicking on a link.
Microsoft did not say how long it will take to release a full u p d a t e to Internet Explorer, which will automatically be loaded onto the machines of most customers. Several security researchers have said they expect the u p d a t e within a week.
'NITRO' LINK
The vulnerability in Internet Explorer was identified on Friday after the PC of a security researcher from Luxembourg was infected while analyzing a computer server that was used last year to launch a cyber industrial espionage campaign on at least 48 chemical and defense companies.
The victims of the so-called "Nitro" attacks included Fortune 100 corporations that develop compounds and advanced materials, according to security software maker Symantec Corp, which disclosed them in October 2011.
Network security firm AlienVault said on Tuesday it has discovered three other servers that host malicious websites that exploit the newly found Internet Explorer vulnerability.
Jaime Blasco, manager of AlienVault Labs, said he found evidence suggesting they targeted defense contractors. As an example, he said he found a related virus on a site that provides news on India's defense sector.
"It seems that these guys are behind big targets," he said.
Internet Explorer was the world's second-most widely used browser last month, with about 33 percent market share, according to StatCounter. It was close behind Chrome, which had 34 percent of the market.
Until the new software is available from Microsoft, the company advises customers to use a free security tool, which is known as the Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit, or EMET, to mitigate the risk of attacks. It is available through an advisory on Microsoft's website: http://blogs.technet.com/b/msrc/
The EMET software must be downloaded, installed and then manually configured to protect computers from the newly discovered threat, according to the posting from Microsoft. The company also advised customers to adjust several Windows security settings to thwart potential attackers, but cautioned that doing so might impact the PC's usability.
Some security experts have said it would be too cumbersome for many PC users to implement the measures suggested by Microsoft. Instead they advised Windows users to temporarily switch from Internet Explorer to rival browsers such as Google Inc's Chrome, Mozilla's Firefox or Opera Software ASA's Opera.
