What browser are you using? I'd start by deleting the browser's current cache. Wait awhile afterwards for JT to come along here and give you more expert help.

I also have the same problem and it started about three weeks ago. It has something to do with scripts what ever they are. The only way I can get the site to work is go to tools then internet options. Then click on the security tab. Then click custom level. Scroll down to scripting. Change the scripting from enable to disable. This is the only I can use the site as of now.

Usually ok with Chrome, but with Explorer I often get "page not available"

According to Microsoft, "Operation Aborted" is a bug in IE7 that doesn't exist in IE8:

I would suggest you update your browser.

I'm glad it worked for you. I would like to know if there is a permanent fix though. When u disable scripts you often have to enable them to use other sites.

I had some computer problems about three weeks ago and re-installed Internet Explorer 8 after saving my favorites. This site is the only one that will not open now. I also have Firefox and that's how I access the fourum. I can only comment that, like Windows 2000, Windows SE and Windows Vista, Microsoft has succeeded in foisting off another POS on the user community. Why don't these guys de-bug their software before release?
