Technical Difficulties READ

by Joe. on Mar 21, 2007 10:46 PM EDT Comment 8 comments

I randomnly started to get an odd glitch with this website.

After the page gets loaded, I'll be reading it for a little when all of a sudden I'll be taken to a page could not be found type page. I just find it weird since the webpage loads at first.

http://dg.specificclick.net/jensondemo/smServlet%3Fu.

The page could not be found page says that it could not find the above address, which makes no sense since obviously that's not this website's URL.

Please tell me I'm not alone here because it's becoming frustrating!

[editor's note, by Ryan]: Actually, this is happening to me as well, and I'm using Firefox. I've alerted our technical people, so hopefully this will be corrected soon

Double-check to make sure it's not a virus or...

adware as well!

Hello JRam,

Sorry to hear about the trouble; I'm still using IE 6, just because there are still bugs in IE 7.
I usually wait 9-12 months before upgrading, just because of the past history with Microsoft programs.

Have you tried pushing the "Stop" button after the page fully (or mostly) loads? Maybe that will prevent whatever is causing the error page to appear to stop.

You may also want to double-check that it's not a virus, adware, spyware, a page hijacker, etc. You can get some good advice and tools to make sure your system is clean at this site. They helped me get rid of a WinFixer infection back in January 2006. (I hope it's acceptable to provide a link to it - please feel free to remove it if it's not acceptable.)

Hopefully, you get it worked out - I know I'd be frustrated if a page loads up, then suddenly reverts to "The Page Can Not Be Found" error page. Good luck with fixing the problem.

Go Tribe! :-)

Re: Anyone here use IE 7?

I tend to surf in Firefox. You might give it a try. I find it very clean and less buggy than IE.

It's a tracking cookie for ads. I haven't had any issues with IE6 or Firefox.

I use Firefox and have zero issues.

Re: Anyone here use IE 7?

I've had the same problem (f%$king Microsoft). If you click the stop button, as indiansfan suggests, it seems to prevent the re-direct. The real annoying thing is that in the past day this is happening on a number of pages I visit, not just LGT (or other sportsnation sites).

Re: Anyone here use IE 7?

JRam...I use IE 7 and haven't run into that problem. I agree that Firefox is very clean and also a little faster. I don't know if this will help with IE 7, but go up to the Tools section of the menu bar and hit the arrow. You will see a line for pop-up blocker and phishing filter. You might want to see if they are enabled and try it that way. Hope it helps.
