While I'm a Firefox user - we can't simply chalk up a major problem like this to 'use a different browser'. Obviously this issue has to be addressed.



Espicaly if we are asking people to move away from Firefox and back to IE :P (Just a joke, dont shoot me :P)

I have this problem as well. I thought i was the only one having this so i didn't report. My browser freezes as well (not always) after opening a topic or viewing any page.

I'm using IE version: 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_gdr.050301-1519

Oh and I just opened the topic in the first post here... it actually crashes my browser as well lol.. no js error though

What version of IE6? I only have IE7 - so it's kinda hard to debug...



Any JS error messages?



as posted in the bugtracker no error messages show up.The screen just freezes and the only way to close it is ctr+alt+del

At the moment I'm at work and it also happens here with version IE 6.0.2800.1106 + SP1

First view: [Direct Access] Image in question loaded fully, browser froze immediately afterward.
Second view: [Direct Access] As before, browser froze immediately after displaying the image.
Third view: [Direct Access] Image displayed, did not freeze. I saw no signs that it tried to resize the image, however.
Fourth view: [Reload] As before it displayed the image but did not freeze immediately afterward. Half a minute later it froze, I can only assume the resizing function took until then to operate though I couldn't tell you why.
Fifth view: [Direct Access] Again, image displayed, browser did not freeze. As with the third, no signs of it trying to resize the image. Possibly due to its' running from cache and having experienced an error after running the Javascript last time through?
Sixth view: [Reload] Payed more attention to the 'loading' thing this time... Same as #4 -- loaded and displayed the image; the browser did not freeze until half a minute later, which I might note was immediately after the status bar changed from '(1 item) Loading http://forums.invisionpower.com/index.php?...=227315...' to 'Done.' This leads me to believe it was still grabbing the Javascript, or perhaps running through some AJAX requests.

I was given no errors of any type throughout the duration of those six loads. On to another page... Just to see if it does the same thing.

First view: [Direct Access] Image in question loaded fully, browser froze immediately after completely rendering the page.


Enough of that... Essentially something in the image-resizing Javascript functions is causing IE6 to freeze. IE7 is not effected, nor is FF 1.5 and Opera 9.01
