A Big IE7 Problem on the Web - Update: Sitemeter Responsible? (http://littlegreenfootballs.com/article/30818_A_Big_IE7_Problem_on_the_Web_-_Update-_Sitemeter_Responsible/comments/#ctop)

I’ve confirmed that there’s some kind of problem on the Internet, that only seems to affect users of the Internet Explorer 7 web browser. Attempting to browse to many sites results in an ‘Operation Aborted’ error. No information about the problem elsewhere yet ... stay tuned.

UPDATE at 8/1/08 7:20:27 pm:

It appears to be related to Sitemeter.com — browsing to their web site with Internet Explorer 7 produces the error too.

Oh what a tangled WorldWideWeb we weave when first we count what is received.

This stinks.  I can't read any of my regular blogs.  Well, Autoblog TTAC seems to be working.

Sitemeter seems to have corrected the problem.

HUGE +10,000,000 on this. On this new laptop I've used IE twice, to go get Firefox & Thunderbird.

Caution: If you book with AA, your boarding passes don't print correctly in Firefox.  It started about 3 months ago and I don't know which side changed.
